MEXC announced several milestones in asset transparency, trading growth, and product development during April-May 2026: In May, its Proof of Reserves (PoR), independently audited by Hacken, showed a reserve ratio for major assets far exceeding the 1:1 industry standard; the April trading highlights report showed accelerated expansion in both the new coin sector and traditional financial (TradFi) futures; the SPACEX (PRE) Launchpad subscription event concluded successfully, followed by the launch of spot and contract trading with zero transaction fees, and the simultaneous launch of its US stock product line and thematic incentives.
MEXC released its latest Proof-of-Response (PoR) report, independently audited by Hacken, a globally renowned blockchain security firm, fully verifying the Merkle tree structure, wallet ownership, and reserve adequacy. The report shows that MEXC's main asset reserve ratios are: BTC 293%, ETH 123%, USDT 117%, and USDC 120%, significantly higher than the industry 1:1 benchmark. MEXC continues to publicly disclose verifiable asset reserves monthly and simultaneously strengthens its multi-layered asset protection mechanism with the "Guardian Fund," planning to expand its size from $100 million to $500 million over the next two years, allocating 1,000 Bitcoins to form a dual reserve structure of "highly liquid USDT reserves + long-term BTC allocation," further enhancing the platform's liquidity preparedness and structural resilience.
The April trading highlights report released on the same day showed a significant increase in overall platform momentum: the average peak increase of the top 10 new coins reached 2,341%, 1.6 times that of March; the average new coin trading volume per person increased by 46% month-on-month. The leading gainers in the month spanned multiple sectors, including RWA's PROS (+5,433%), DeFi's GENIUS (+4,718%), and IPEPE (+3,500%) which combines Meme + AI , showing that excess returns are not only concentrated in the hottest trading pairs; the ETH ecosystem accounted for the most active side and occupied 4 of the top 10 trading volume spots, accounting for approximately 59%. In terms of activities and yield tools, after Airdrop+ was adjusted to a curated system, 14 activities were held for new coins such as GENIUS, MEZO, ENM, and KAG, with the GENIUS task offering a maximum reward of 1,000 USDT per person. Launchpool has added a new BTC staking pool (in addition to the existing MX option). EMBLEM has offered new users an annualized return of up to 207%, helping low-participation users participate in new coin opportunities with a lower barrier to entry.
TradFi's product line also saw strong expansion. Data released on May 19 showed that, influenced by the recovery in risk appetite in the US stock market, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 reached new highs in April, with AI semiconductors becoming the main market driver, leading to a rapid increase in MEXC users' positions in TradFi futures: INTC futures trading volume increased by 1,684% month-on-month, AMD by 543%, TSM by 278%, and NVIDIA by 213%. Large-cap and technology stocks such as QQQ, GOOGL, and S&P 500 also recorded significant growth. In the 12 trading days since the launch of "0-Fee Fest" on April 15, users have saved a total of more than $83 million in fees, of which TradFi futures products contributed more than $15 million. MEXC currently offers more than 130 TradeFi futures contracts, covering US stocks, stock indices, ETFs, precious metals, commodities, and forex. Users can seamlessly switch between "crypto × traditional finance" in a single account, trade in both directions, and settle in stablecoins, significantly reducing the cost and time of cross-system fund transfers.
In terms of product innovation, MEXC announced the successful completion of the SPACEX (PRE) Launchpad subscription event. The event attracted over 38,000 participants, with total subscriptions exceeding $56 million. The USDT pool for all users was oversubscribed by 15.5 times, the USDT pool for new users by 5.1 times, and the USD1 pool for all users by 14.8 times, resulting in an overall oversubscription of 11.2 times across all three pools. During the subscription period, SpaceX filed its S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), advancing its Nasdaq listing process; market expectations for its valuation may approach $2 trillion. The document also disclosed that as of the end of Q1 2026, SpaceX held 18,712 BTC, with a fair value of approximately $1.29 billion. The convergence of "the world's most watched technology company × the BTC vault narrative" significantly increased market attention and trading demand for SPACEX (PRE) . Subsequently, SPACEX (PRE) spot and contract trading was launched on MEXC with zero transaction fees. In the secondary market, the spot price briefly exceeded $830, a more than 27% increase from the $650 subscription price. MEXC simultaneously launched a Beta version of its US stock product line and a SpaceX-themed incentive program, allowing users who open US stock accounts to share a total of $1 million worth of SpaceX stock rewards. Starting with SPACEX (PRE), MEXC will continue to expand its Pre-IPO and broader range of US stock asset classes, building an integrated product ecosystem from "opportunity discovery—trading access—global participation," helping users access global investment opportunities with lower barriers to entry within the familiar crypto trading environment.
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi stated, "April is a month of narrative repricing. Users switched between Meme, AI infrastructure, and BTCFi within weeks, and then shifted to gold and crude oil futures due to changes in the geopolitical landscape. The role of platforms like MEXC is to make these migrations faster, cheaper, and smoother, and to ensure that the next major market narrative is available with a single click before momentum kicks in."
