VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today announced its commitment to expanding the Guardian Fund from $100 million to $500 million over the next two years, alongside the acquisition of 1,000 Bitcoin. The move establishes a dual-reserve structure combining USDT liquidity with Bitcoin holdings to strengthen user protection, long-term resilience, and platform stability as MEXC continues to scale globally.
According to Defillama, MEXC recorded over $270 million in net inflows over the past month (up to May 11 2026), reflecting continued growth in global user participation. As more users and capital enter the ecosystem, MEXC is taking a proactive approach to strengthening the reserve framework designed to protect user assets across all market conditions.
MEXC will continue investing in and scaling the Guardian Fund to $500 million over the next two years. The expanded reserve framework is designed to remain highly liquid, structurally resilient, and capable of responding rapidly during periods of market volatility or unexpected disruption.
As part of this initiative, MEXC has acquired 1,000 Bitcoin to establish a dual-reserve structure that balances immediate deployable capital with long-term reserve durability. USDT reserves provide liquidity and operational flexibility during periods of stress, while Bitcoin serves as a long-term reserve asset intended to strengthen the fund's ability to preserve value across market cycles.
Together, the dual-reserve structure reflects MEXC's long-term commitment to building institutional-grade protection infrastructure at global scale. The acquisition is part of a disciplined reserve management strategy rather than a short-term response to market conditions.
Commenting on the announcement, Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC, said:
"Trust has to be capitalized, not just claimed. For MEXC, playing the infinite game means never becoming complacent as markets, users, and technology evolve. The expansion of the Guardian Fund and the addition of Bitcoin reserves reflect our commitment to building protection infrastructure that helps users access infinite opportunities with greater confidence."
To reinforce transparency, MEXC has made all Guardian Fund holdings publicly traceable on-chain through disclosed wallet addresses, allowing users to independently verify reserve holdings in real time.

The expansion of the Guardian Fund marks a broader step in MEXC's mission to raise industry standards around transparency, resilience, and proactive risk management. It reinforces a user-first Executive model built to protect users and support long-term global scale.

LOS ANGELES, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CASEKOO has officially earned Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification — making it one of the few phone accessory brands to back its sustainability claims with independently verified proof. The milestone marks a shift in the brand's ethos: protection now extends to the planet, not just the phone. This achievement marks a bold new chapter for the brand, reinforcing its commitment to creating iPhone cases that are not only hands-free but also waste-free for the planet.
What Does GRS Actually Mean?
The GRS is an international, voluntary, and full-product standard that sets rigorous requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. It is overseen by Textile Exchange, an organization dedicated to driving positive change in the fashion and textile industry.
Unlike a simple claim, GRS certification provides independent verification at every stage of the supply chain, from the source of the recycled material to the final product. By meeting GRS requirements, CASEKOO ensures that every certified case contains at least 50% recycled materials — and that the entire supply chain meets strict social and environmental criteria. This ensures that when a customer chooses a CASEKOO GRS-certified case, they are making a choice backed by a robust, verifiable standard.
Why GRS Makes CASEKOO Greener Than Ever Before
While CASEKOO has long been committed to sustainability, the GRS certification represents a significant upgrade from previous climate partner certifications. In the past, partnerships often focused on offsetting a carbon footprint through external programs. The GRS protocol, by contrast, addresses the product's very source.
GRS certification means the materials inside your CASEKOO case — from the shell to the lanyard to the MagicStand ring — are verified to be made from recycled sources. Not diluted. Not offset. Just recycled, tracked, and proven.
In the past, sustainability meant "buying offsets." Today, it means designing out waste from the start — turning old plastic into new protection. This is the core of what makes the new CASEKOO "greener."
"GRS certification isn't just a badge for us — it's a proof that sustainability can be stylish, functional, and transparent," said Charlotte, CASEKOO's PR manager. "This is more than just a stamp on our packaging; it's a testament to our brand's core philosophy. Our customers shouldn't have to choose between protecting their phone and protecting the planet. Now, they don't have to."
CASEKOO invites customers and partners to verify its certification and learn more about its commitment to sustainability. The company's certification can be found on the official Textile Exchange database:

With this certification, CASEKOO has gone bolder in its mission to prove that style, durability, and sustainability can coexist, setting a new standard in the phone case industry.
