This badge signals the breaking point in the battle for trader sovereignty. In July 2025, MEXC Exchange unlawfully froze over $3 million in funds belonging to The White Whale - a prominent trader known for his high-level profitability and for exposing the darker underbelly of the crypto industry. The offense? Trading too effectively against MEXC’s external market makers - quant firms tasked with providing “liquidity,” but whose real role is to tilt the game in the house’s favor. Rather than honor withdrawals, MEXC retaliated. No violations. No transparency. Just silence and seized capital. By claiming this POAP, you stand with every trader whose funds were frozen, whose success was penalized, and whose autonomy was erased by offshore exchanges hiding in lawless jurisdictions. This badge is more than a symbol. It’s a statement: We are not exit liquidity. We are not prey. We are the tide.
