MEXC recorded $175 million in net capital inflows in February 2026, ranking fourth among major centralized exchanges globally, according to DeFiLlama. The exchange trailed Binance at $1.92 billion, Deribit at $306 million, and Bitget at $206 million. Several exchanges posted net outflows during the same month, which left MEXC among the platforms that still attracted fresh capital.
Bitcoin showed weak price momentum through February as macroeconomic uncertainty weighed on risk appetite. Sentiment turned cautious. Capital moved unevenly across venues, and portfolio reallocation became more visible in choppy conditions. Against that setting, MEXC kept inflows positive, a sign that the platform continued drawing funds even as traders grew more selective.
Product mix centers on hedging and yield strategies
MEXC linked that resilience to a product structure built around defensive hedging tools and yield-focused asset management products. The exchange has also expanded its precious metals derivatives lineup as safe-haven demand increased in recent weeks, including GOLD(XAUT)USDT and SILVER(XAG)USDT perpetual futures.
The platform said it has raised leverage limits, improved liquidity depth, and kept its zero-fee trading policy in place. Together with a 24/7 trading environment, those features are aimed at giving traders more flexibility to react to global market moves and manage exposure without delay.
Earn products span stablecoins, metals, and futures margin balances
MEXC also highlighted its yield products for periods when market direction is unclear and capital becomes more sensitive to return opportunities. Under the company’s description, flexible USDT savings offer up to 15% APR, while new users can access promotional rates of up to 600% APR during the first two days. For XAUT and SLVON fixed savings, new users can receive up to 400% APR during the first three days, and all users can get up to 10% APR during the first seven days. In Futures Earn, margin assets are tied to a yield mechanism, allowing eligible USDT and USDC balances to earn up to 20% APR while positions remain open.
MEXC said liquidity depth, risk controls, and cross-asset yield options are becoming more important in platform selection as volatility rises. Founded in 2018, the exchange says it serves more than 40 million users across 170+ countries.
