MEXC, one of the fastest-growing global crypto exchanges, unveiled its 2025 annual report early 2026, highlighting multiple key milestones. Both spot and futures trading volumes surged over 130% year-on-year. Through its zero-fee policy on selected trading pairs, the platform saved users more than $1.1 billion USDT in trading fees, averaging around 320 USDT per user.
The exchange also published its latest proof-of-reserves audit, independently verified by blockchain security firm Hacken. All major assets are over-collateralized: BTC coverage reached 158% (6,172.88 BTC), USDT coverage 127% ($2.24 billion), USDC coverage 140% ($111.5 million), and ETH coverage 107% (61,729.67 ETH). MEXC employs a Merkle Tree verification structure, allowing users to self-verify their holdings. Since inception, the exchange has maintained a zero-hack record, bolstered by a $100 million Guardian Fund and monthly third-party audits.
Privacy and RWA Sectors Dominate December Trading
December 2025 trading data showed a notable shift in capital flows: privacy computing and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization projects captured half of the top ten traded tokens, replacing the previous meme-coin-driven speculation. Privacy protocol tokens like ZKP, NIGHT, and RLS posted monthly gains near 2,000%; DeFAI tokens SEEK and THQ rose roughly 900%. Ethereum ecosystem accounted for four spots on the leaderboard, while emerging chains such as Berachain, SUI, and StableChain also showed strong growth.
Additionally, the Airdrop+ program saw monthly participation rise 142% with an average win rate of 80%. The Launchpad “Quality First” strategy drove an average 70% return for newly listed tokens, and the Spin & Win gamification mechanism further boosted user engagement.
Renewed Partnership with Ondo Finance: 32 Tokenized US Stocks Go Live
Continuing its tokenized stock initiative, MEXC partnered again with Ondo Finance to launch a seventh batch of 32 tokenized US equity trading pairs on its zero-fee spot market. New listings include blue-chip stocks and ETFs such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJON), Amazon (AMATON), Coca-Cola (KOON), Chipotle (CMGON), ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQON), and iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond (AGGON). The move expands MEXC’s tokenized stock offerings to 101 spot pairs and 52 perpetual contract pairs, all denominated in USDT and supported by the exchange’s proprietary liquidity system for deep order books and tight spreads.
2026 Vision: Zero-Fee Expansion and Borderless Asset Access
MEXC’s 2026 strategy centers on three pillars: extending zero-fee trading from crypto to tokenized stocks, commodities, and synthetic assets; building a “Trade-Everything” platform for seamless access to tokenized equities, RWA, DeFi assets, and derivatives under one interface; and establishing an innovation hub in the Middle East while embedding AI into the platform for intelligent trading and personalized experiences. The $100 million Guardian Fund and $30 million MEXC Fund serve as dual anchors to protect user interests and fuel Web3 ecosystem growth, respectively.
