MEXC and Hacken Launch AI Trading Safety Handbook to Promote Safer AI Adoption
Summary
MEXC and blockchain security firm Hacken released a handbook on safer use of AI-assisted and automated trading tools. It identifies risks such as exposed credentials, excessive permissions, manipulated data and unintended trades. The guidance recommends that AI actions be checked by separate permissions and risk controls. Users are given five checks—Ask, Verify, Limit, Control and Review—while platforms are advised to Guard, Limit, Approve, Control and Test. MEXC cited a 2026 survey in which willingness to use automated trading rose from 55% to 71.8% when financial and risk limits were added. The handbook is intended as a practical safety framework as AI becomes more integrated into trading.
