MEXC Deposit Guide: Networks, Confirmations, Limits and Fees

To deposit crypto to MEXC, pick the coin and network on MEXC's deposit page, copy the deposit address (and the Memo/Tag if the coin needs one), and send the funds on that same network from your wallet or another platform.

MEXC credits the deposit in two stages after the network confirms it: first you can trade with it, then you can withdraw it.

This guide covers the deposit steps, minimums and confirmations, fees, what to do when a deposit is not credited or went to the wrong network, and a quick reference for withdrawal limits and fees.

For step-by-step withdrawals, see our guide to how to withdraw money from MEXC.

Key Takeaways:

• Send on the same network you select on MEXC's deposit page, and include the Memo/Tag when the coin needs one.
• Each coin's deposit minimum and required confirmations appear on the deposit page after you choose a network, and deposits below the minimum are not credited or refunded.
• A pre-credited deposit can be traded but not withdrawn or transferred until it is fully credited.
• A deposit sent on the wrong network can be lost; MEXC accepts a return application, but recovery is not guaranteed and a fee applies if it succeeds.
• Primary KYC allows 80 BTC of crypto withdrawals a day, Advanced KYC 200 BTC, and institutional verification 400 BTC within 24 hours.

How Do You Deposit Crypto to MEXC?

You deposit crypto to MEXC by generating a deposit address for the coin and network you want, then sending the coin to that address from another wallet or platform.

On the Website

Log in, open [Wallets], choose [Spot], then click [Deposit].

Choose the coin and the network, generate the deposit address and copy it.

On the sending wallet or platform, paste the address, choose the same network and send.

Screenshots of each step are in our guide to depositing crypto on the MEXC website.

In the App

Tap [Wallets], then [Deposit], search for the coin and choose the network.

Generate the deposit address, copy it, and send from the other wallet or platform on the same network.

The MEXC App deposit guide also covers sending from a MetaMask wallet.

Spot or Futures Account

You can deposit to your Spot or Futures account, and the one you pick becomes the default for later deposits.

If a coin cannot be credited to Futures, MEXC deposits it to Spot automatically.

Memo/Tag, Network and Contract Address

Some coins, such as XRP, TON and ATOM, need a Memo or Tag as well as the address, and a missing or wrong Memo/Tag stops the deposit from being credited automatically.

Our explainer on what Memos and Tags are shows where to find them.

The network you choose on the sending side must match the network on MEXC's deposit page, and the token's contract address must match the one MEXC supports.

What Are MEXC's Deposit Minimums and Confirmation Requirements?

MEXC sets a minimum deposit and a required number of network confirmations for each coin and network, and shows both on the deposit page once you choose the network.

A deposit below the coin's minimum is not credited and cannot be refunded, according to MEXC's crypto deposit guide.

The number of confirmations varies by coin and network, and the deposit page shows it under "Expected Arrival" on the web and "Network confirmations" in the app.

Our guide to checking block confirmations on MEXC shows where to look.

Confirmation time also depends on how busy the network is, so the same deposit can take longer during congestion.

What Is Pre-Crediting?

After the first set of confirmations, a deposit is pre-credited: you can trade with it, but you cannot withdraw it, transfer it, use it for a fiat withdrawal, send it as a gift or move it between sub-accounts.

After more confirmations, the deposit is fully credited and every operation opens.

MEXC uses the two stages to guard against double-spending and confirm that the deposit is valid, while letting you trade sooner.

If the deposit page shows no pre-crediting details, that network does not support pre-crediting, according to MEXC's pre-crediting guide.

Are There Fees on MEXC Deposits?

When you deposit, the wallet or platform you send from charges its own withdrawal or network fee before the coins reach MEXC.

For LUNC and USTC on the Terra Classic network, MEXC deducts a consolidation fee from deposits in line with the network's tax burn, as its LUNC and USTC fee notice explains.

A deposit below the minimum or on an unsupported network is not a fee, but it can cost the whole amount, so check both before you send.

Why Is My MEXC Deposit Not Credited?

A deposit usually arrives late because it is still collecting confirmations, the deposit channel is under maintenance, or something in the transfer does not match what MEXC supports.

Find what you see in the table, then follow the fix from MEXC's deposit troubleshooting guide.

When a deposit channel is under maintenance, MEXC announcements show when it reopens.

Can You Recover a Deposit Sent to the Wrong Network or Address?

Sometimes: a deposit sent on the wrong network or without its Memo/Tag can be lost, but MEXC accepts return applications for these cases, and some can be recovered.

You can apply for wrong-network deposits, missing or incorrect Memo/Tags, unsupported tokens or contracts, transfers to a MEXC hot wallet address instead of your own deposit address, delisted tokens, and withdrawals that the receiving platform sent back.

Submit the application on MEXC's deposit recovery page, and file wrong-network cases as soon as possible.

MEXC usually reviews an application within 1–2 business days, and the page shows the estimated completion time, though complex cases can take more than 21 days.

A service fee applies: it is frozen in your Spot account when you submit, deducted only if the return succeeds, and unfrozen if it fails.

MEXC cannot process an amount below the minimum returnable amount, which equals the coin's minimum withdrawal amount, and it does not guarantee recovery in every case.

The full rules are in MEXC's guide to the Uncredited Deposit Return Application.

MEXC Withdrawal Limits and Fees: Quick Reference

Your KYC level sets how much crypto you can withdraw in 24 hours, and the fee depends on the coin and network you choose.

The Primary and Advanced KYC limits are from MEXC's KYC verification FAQ.

The institutional limit is from MEXC's institutional verification guide.

MEXC publishes no withdrawal allowance for unverified accounts.

Our guide to how MEXC KYC works covers each level step by step.

Withdrawal Fees

MEXC sets a withdrawal fee for each coin and network, which can be zero, and the withdrawal page shows the fee and the amount you will receive before you confirm.

Transfers to another MEXC user by email, mobile number or UID carry no fee.

Choosing a cheaper network can lower the fee, but only if the receiving side supports that network.

Withdrawal Timing

MEXC typically generates a TxID within 1 to 60 minutes of a withdrawal request, and asks you to contact Customer Service with a Funding History screenshot if none appears within 1 hour, per its withdrawal status guide.

If a receiving platform sends a withdrawal back, apply through the Uncredited Deposit Return Application, which MEXC says is reviewed and completed within 1–2 business days.

Token Activation

Some networks need the receiving address to be activated before it can accept a withdrawal, and MEXC checks this and shows a message if the address is not active.

MEXC's token activation FAQ explains the check, and the guides for the main tokens are below.

• How to Activate HBAR Token Address
• How to Activate XRP Token Address
• How to Activate ALGO Token Address
• How to Activate APTOS Token Address

FAQ

How do I deposit crypto to MEXC?

Generate a deposit address for the coin and network on MEXC's deposit page, then send the coin from another wallet or platform on the same network.

How long does a MEXC deposit take?

It depends on how many network confirmations the coin needs and how busy the network is, and the deposit page shows the required confirmations.

Can I trade a deposit before it is fully credited?

Yes, once it is pre-credited you can trade it, but withdrawals and transfers wait until it is fully credited.

Coins such as XRP, TON and ATOM use the Memo or Tag to identify which account a deposit belongs to, so leaving it out stops automatic crediting.
