Robert MacDonald joins MEXC from Bybit, where he served as Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, directing the exchange's global licensing strategy, corporate legal operations, and the implementation of international AML and KYC frameworks. Before Bybit, MacDonald held senior positions at Standard Chartered and Binance focused on regulatory strategy, compliance transformation and governance, and was named among Asian Legal Business' Top 15 Chief Compliance Officers in 2025.
The appointment comes as MEXC expands beyond crypto trading into equities-related products, IPO access and other asset classes across global markets, categories that typically sit under securities regulators rather than crypto-specific ones.
