Impact analysis
The confirmed operational change is a temporary suspension of SEI deposits and withdrawals on MEXC beginning Oct 8, 2026, at 15:00 (UTC), ahead of the stated 16:38 (UTC) network upgrade. For users planning to move SEI onto or off the exchange during that window, the direct consequence is that such transfers will not be processed until MEXC resumes them. MEXC states trading is unaffected, so the suspension does not, per the source, extend to the SEI trading market. MEXC also states the upgrade will not create a hard fork, which is the only technical characterization the source provides. The source does not state a fixed resumption time; it ties resumption to the upgrade being complete and stable and says no further announcements will be made. The source does not describe any effect on SEI balances, value, or other assets. This content is not investment or trading advice.
What the announcement does not say
The source does not disclose the exact resumption time for deposits and withdrawals, the technical details of the upgrade, or any project-team rationale. It also does not state whether other exchanges or services are taking similar action, or whether any SEI-related products on MEXC beyond spot trading are affected. This content is not investment or trading advice.
