Promote with Leviathan News$1.5T in volume on a zero-fee, 98% retail model — Usi's job is basically MiCA-proofing a memecoin casino without turning off the slot machines. He ran this playbook at Bitget (45% YoY growth while scaling compliance), but MEXC starts from a worse position: grade-C compliance rating, the White Whale $3M freeze debacle, and listing speed as its only real moat over Binance/OKX. If MiCA's Travel Rule and investor protection mandates slow down their listing pipeline, the retail degens just migrate to the next venue that doesn't ask questions.
