NatGold Delists NATG from MEXC Following US Treasury Sanction Order

NatGold Digital Ltd. has asked crypto exchange MEXC to immediately delist the NatGold Token ($NATG) ¹. The company announced the decision on Nov. 7, 2026, citing an enforcement order issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) ¹.

The regulatory action against MEXC Global relies on the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act and bars domestic financial institutions from transmitting funds associated with the trading venue ¹. Federal authorities previously moved to sever the exchange's access to domestic clearing channels after tracking illicit flows through the platform, as FinCEN cut off MEXC Global over alleged $16B in illicit transactions. NatGold, a US entity whose subsidiary NatGold Integrity Vault LLC is registered with FinCEN as a money services business, initiated the delisting before the Treasury order's formal effective date ¹. Executive Chairman Mark Radke stated that the firm opted to sever ties immediately due to its regulatory status as a money services business operator ¹.

Exchange Migration Underway

NatGold said it has entered advanced listing negotiations with alternative exchanges that comply with regulatory requirements across domestic and international markets ¹. The firm plans to direct token holders to new partner venues once terms are finalized so investors can register accounts, connect self-custodial wallets, and resume spot secondary trading ¹.

The project structures NATG as unit claims representing unmined gold deposits certified under independent geological assessments, bypassing physical refining and transport ¹. The move underscores how domestic digital asset projects face immediate counterparty fallout when offshore trading hubs run afoul of federal anti-money laundering controls.
