Summary

I. A global first: Realizing real US stock holdings through direct connection with compliant brokerages.

In 2026, the boundaries between traditional finance and the crypto world are being completely reshaped.

Traditional financial institutions are actively embracing blockchain and digital assets, while crypto infrastructure, with its inherent efficiency and transparency, is beginning to support a wider range of asset classes. As these two forces converge on the same platform, a new way of global asset allocation is becoming a reality.

From the approval of BTC ETFs, the explosion of the RWA narrative, and the stablecoin market exceeding $300 billion , to the continuous entry of institutional funds, all trends point to the same direction: crypto users are no longer limited to digital assets; they are beginning to actively seek the ability to allocate crypto assets + stocks + commodities + fixed-income instruments on the same platform to achieve a global investment layout around the clock.

However, the industry still faces three major pain points:

  1. Traditional brokerage systems are closed and have high barriers to entry —the processes for opening accounts, exchanging currency, and filing tax returns are complex.

  2. The Mirror Token model is distorted – it does not constitute real shareholding and therefore does not entitle holders to dividends or company actions.

  3. Fragmented Contract Platforms – CEX platforms only provide price exposure or partial token mapping, failing to achieve financial linkage at the asset level.

In both options, users earn the price difference but do not hold any equity—company dividends, stock splits, delistings, and mergers are irrelevant to them.

While other platforms are still only offering contract or Mirror Token solutions, MEXC pioneered the "US Stock Spot + Contract Dual-Channel" system, providing an answer to this structural gap in the industry. This step is not only product innovation but also a leap forward in industry infrastructure—MEXC becomes the world's first exchange to truly achieve direct connection to US stock spot trading through a compliant brokerage firm and simultaneously support USDT pricing and settlement within the crypto ecosystem. Currently, no major global crypto exchanges have completed the construction of this infrastructure, and the industry generally expects full implementation to take several months or even longer.

II. US Stock Spot Trading Channel: Linking to Real Assets, Giving USDT Shareholder Rights

Through a partnership with licensed brokerage Vistamx (regulated in Mauritius) , MEXC users can directly purchase real US stock assets using USDT , covering all US stocks listed on Nasdaq such as TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, and AMZN. This means crypto users can hold native US stock shares and enjoy full ownership rights, dividends, and interest.

This mechanism has fundamentally changed the logic of cross-asset investment: crypto users no longer need to wait outside the TradeFi circle, no longer need to be constrained by funding delays, and can participate in the growth dividends of the global equity market with the liquidity of crypto assets .

At the same time, MEXC, with its "zero fees," "T+1 transactions," and "instant transfers," has enabled real financial assets to achieve the speed and efficiency of on-chain transactions for the first time—setting a new cross-financial standard for the industry.

III. US Stock Contract Channel: An Encrypted Extension of 24/7 Market and Strategy

Complementing the real asset attributes of the spot trading channel, the US stock futures channel provides global investors with 24/7 volatility management and risk hedging capabilities. Users can enable uninterrupted US stock trading 24/7, allowing for flexible operations during traditional after-hours trading, weekends, or event windows.

Currently, MEXC offers over 130 assets —covering US stocks and the pre-IPO market (including SpaceX)—with market depth and liquidity ranking among the top in the industry. More than 70% of these assets have the lowest trading volume decline points across the entire platform. The platform also offers a 0% fee policy plus exclusive subsidies for KOLs , enabling professional investors to implement full-cycle strategies from stock holdings and leverage to portfolio hedging within an integrated environment.

By integrating "US stocks" and "US stock contracts" into the same platform, MEXC combines the real stock holding experience of traditional brokerages with the liquidity and speed advantages of CEX, achieving a seamless connection between the crypto market and traditional finance, and creating a more complete and efficient US stock trading portal for global users.

IV. Providing a new asset allocation method to hundreds of millions of investors worldwide.

A structural gap has long existed in the traditional financial system: well-developed global asset allocation tools are often only available to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. Complex procedures, geographical restrictions, and qualification thresholds severely limit the participation channels for most ordinary investors.

This time, the door was opened even wider.

For hundreds of millions of crypto and stock investors worldwide, this means a new way to allocate assets for the first time—without having to switch between two separate financial systems. Through partnerships with licensed brokers, the distance between on-chain assets and real-world equity is significantly shortened on a single platform. An ordinary investor holding on-chain stable assets in Southeast Asia can buy NVIDIA through a familiar interface or hedge against market volatility in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The role of encryption technology here is that of a financial solution—filling long-standing structural gaps in the traditional system with 24/7 liquidity, lower barriers to entry, and more efficient settlement methods. Multi-asset integration is not a dilution of the Crypto spirit, but rather a sign of its maturation and mainstream adoption. Encryption and traditional finance are not in competition, but rather working together to build a more open and efficient global asset circulation system.

V. Exclusive for MEXC users: Limited-time SpaceX Pre-IPO event launched simultaneously.

Following the success of all participants in Phase 1 of MEXC Launchpad (SPCX) (with an average increase of approximately +40%), Phase 2 has officially begun .

SPACEX is currently valued at $2 trillion . This mechanism provides crypto users with an investment ticket that was previously only available to institutions and qualified investors, giving Web3 users the actual right to participate in the "pre-IPO channel" for the first time.

As the flagship event of the MEXC Launchpad, this project also symbolizes the first cross-industry experiment of " directly connecting blockchain investment with real pre-IPO assets ".

This move is not a short-term event, but a key part of MEXC's long-term strategy of "RWA integration" - in the future, US stock spot, RWA debt-backed assets, and commodity derivatives will jointly build MEXC's " full asset integration infrastructure ".

MEXC Launchpad (SPCX) Event Highlights:

  • You can participate in top-tier pre-IPO investments without needing to be a qualified investor.

  • Regular users can subscribe using USDT.

  • The three subscription pool mechanisms cover new users, existing users, and high-net-worth users.

  • To achieve equitable global participation that is unattainable in traditional markets.

SpaceX, currently valued at over $2 trillion , is one of the world's most watched privately held technology companies. MEXC gives ordinary crypto investors true "pre-IPO access" for the first time.

VI. Industry Significance: Redefining the Role of Exchanges

The launch of this dual-channel access for US stocks is of fundamental significance to the entire market. For the past decade, traditional financial markets and crypto capital markets have developed in parallel, lacking effective interconnectivity in terms of capital and infrastructure. MEXC's move marks the first time that the settlement layer of the two systems has been integrated in the form of an exchange.

  • On the user side, it breaks down the barrier that "the crypto market cannot invest in real US stocks".

  • On the asset side, both spot equity and on-chain assets should have liquidity and composability.

  • On the industry side, we will set standards to make "RWA × Crypto Exchange" the mainstream development direction in 2026.

This means:

MEXC is not just launching a feature, but redefining the role of exchanges.

This will allow exchanges to move from being "crypto matching platforms" to becoming "global asset allocation infrastructure"—a new stage.

When a platform allows users to allocate BTC, US stocks, gold, and forex in the same account, it relies on the efficiency and transparency of the crypto infrastructure—which is precisely one of the most substantial contributions the crypto industry has made to the global financial system.

Unlike exchanges that merely offer CFDs or Mirror Tokens, MEXC has taken the lead at the entrance to the next financial cycle: a true global liquidity hub that integrates US stock spot trading, futures trading, and RWA.
