MEXC, a major cryptocurrency exchange, recorded significant growth across both traditional finance and digital asset trading in July, driven by emerging blockchain ecosystems and renewed investor appetite for equities. The exchange reported a 73.9% month-over-month increase in average trading volume per user for new tokens, alongside a 111% surge in stock futures trading volume, signaling shifting market dynamics between memecoins and tokenized traditional assets.
- New Token Trading Growth: 73.9% month-over-month increase in average trading volume per user
- Stock Futures Volume Increase: 111% month-over-month growth

Capital inflows shifted markedly toward Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 launched July 1 using Arbitrum Orbit technology. Six of the top 10 tokens by spot trading volume originated from the ecosystem, with memecoins dominating early trading activity. CASHCAT led the charge, followed by HOODRAT and TENDIES, though the chain also attracted infrastructure projects including PONS for token launches and ARROW for stablecoin lending against tokenized stock collateral.
The broader memecoin trend reshaped performance rankings, with six of the top 10 newly listed tokens by peak gains classified as memecoins, replacing AI narratives that dominated June. STONKBROKER posted the highest peak gain at 2,390.8%, trailed by PONS at 2,225.2%.
Traditional finance offerings accelerated significantly on MEXC‘s platform. Stock futures instruments expanded 37% month-over-month while individual stocks climbed to 30% of total TradFi futures trading volume, the third consecutive monthly increase. The storage sector led equity performance, with SanDisk, SK Hynix, and Micron collectively representing 18% of monthly TradFi futures volume.
Precious metals remained the primary TradFi driver, with gold instruments XAU and XAUT accounting for nearly half of total TradFi futures volume, while commodity trading increased 59% as crude oil contracts gained traction. On spot markets, tokenized U.S. stocks dominated, capturing 62% of TradFi spot trading volume across instruments including SpaceX and Tesla.
MEXC supported user engagement through promotional campaigns, with the TradFi Gala competition offering up to 1 million USDT in prizes and generating over $3.5 billion in futures trading volume. The exchange also expanded its Airdrop+ program to include established tokens, combining emerging asset discovery with proven trading liquidity across 12 campaigns totaling 500,000 USDT in rewards.
