Coinbase wants to bring 24/5 perpetual futures trading to individual US stocks, with its proposed contracts now awaiting regulatory approval.
Mutsamudu, Comoros, September 16th, 2026, Chainwire
MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released its July–August 2026 security report. The report shows that MEXC successfully intercepted all 215 reports involving risk-related funds during the period, covering approximately 38.66 million USDT. The total balance of the Futures Insurance Fund rose to 792 million USDT. Meanwhile, the reserve ratios for BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC all remained above 100%.
In July and August 2026, the crypto industry recorded 184 security incidents, with reported losses totaling approximately $535 million. Phishing and fraud incidents, together with endpoint and supply-chain security incidents, accounted for approximately 48% of the total. At the same time, a growing number of attackers are using AI to auto-generate phishing content and help write malware, increasing the efficiency of their attacks. As attack methods become more diverse, promptly identifying and intercepting risk-related funds and strengthening cross-platform investigation have become increasingly important to reducing user losses.
All 215 Reports of Risk-Related Funds Successfully Intercepted, Covering 38.66 million USDT
In July and August, MEXC assisted with 215 reports involving externally stolen or fraud-related funds flowing into the platform. All 215 cases were successfully intercepted, covering 38,655,490 USDT. Of these cases, 42 involved assistances with judicial freezes. Compared with the previous reporting period, the number of successfully intercepted cases increased by approximately 2,971%, while the value of intercepted funds increased by approximately 12,646%.
In tracking and handling risk-related funds, MEXC shared suspicious addresses with major industry participants, assisted in identifying fund flows, and supported verification and freezing procedures under established joint-investigation and law-enforcement cooperation procedures.
Over 20,000 Risk-Related Accounts Identified and Restricted, With More Than 600,000 USDT in Misdirected Assets Returned
In account risk identification, MEXC identified and restricted 20,752 accounts associated with risk-related activities during the period, an increase of 118.03% from the previous reporting period. The platform identified 5,288 risk groups, up 20.35%. By region of origin, these groups were concentrated primarily in the Commonwealth of Independent States (1,803), Nigeria (1,099), and Indonesia (976).
For user asset recovery, MEXC manually processed 818 applications for the return of misdirected assets, returning the equivalent of 602,225 USDT, an increase of 75.31% from the previous reporting period.
Futures Insurance Fund Reaches 792 million USDT, Strengthening Protection Against Negative Balance Risk
As of September 1, 2026, the total balance of the MEXC Futures Insurance Fund reached 791,696,422 USDT, an increase of 5.44% from the previous reporting period.
The Futures Insurance Fund covers negative balances that may arise during liquidation, providing a risk buffer during extreme market conditions and helping reduce the likelihood of auto-deleveraging (ADL). When a liquidated position is closed at a price better than the bankruptcy price, the remaining funds are credited to the fund. Users can view the real-time balance on the MEXC Proof of Trust page.
Reserve Ratios for Four Major Assets Remain Above 100%, With BTC at Approximately 288%
According to the proof of reserves disclosed for this period, MEXC maintained reserve ratios above 100% for four major assets, as follows:
- Bitcoin (BTC): reserve ratio of approximately 288%, with total wallet assets of 12,312.75 BTC against 4,282.20 BTC in user assets;
- Ethereum (ETH): reserve ratio of approximately 113%, with total wallet assets of 66,227.79 ETH;
- USDT: reserve ratio of approximately 115%, with total wallet assets of approximately 1.940 billion USDT;
- USDC: reserve ratio of approximately 114%, with total wallet assets of approximately 194.85 million USDC.
The on-chain addresses corresponding to these reserve assets have been disclosed, allowing users to verify through the Merkle Tree whether their individual account balances were included in this proof of reserves.
As an additional layer of user asset protection, the MEXC Guardian Fund maintains a dual-reserve structure of USDT and BTC: USDT provides immediate liquidity support, while BTC serves as a long-term reserve asset across market cycles. MEXC plans to expand the fund from $100 million to $500 million, continuing to strengthen user asset protection. The relevant holding addresses are listed below:
Guardian Fund Wallet Addresses:
- USDT: 0x469AfE803C54A36674C55231489Cf4b61da8c1bC
- BTC: 1MDVjZdX8QD212pT8Z8EMP7DuFQHKqN3mx
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said, “Trust is the true reserve currency of this industry. Protecting user assets means moving decisively the moment risk emerges, while giving users something they can verify for themselves, not just our word for it. We will continue to strengthen our ability to identify and intercept risk-related funds, deepen cooperation across platforms and with law enforcement, and help affected users recover their losses wherever possible. Our bi-monthly security reports are part of that commitment, allowing our security performance to be measured and tracked over time.”

Volume, meanwhile, is dead simple as it measures the number of contracts that changed hands during a given period. Think of it as measuring how many times the front door of that exclusive club opened and closed over a given period, regardless of who stayed. It thus represents the degree of churn or liquidity available to manage positions.
So, the latest case of volume falling far behind OI is like a large club with a tiny exit door. What happens if a large number of people try to rush out?
Because overall investor positioning is massive, a sudden catalyst could trigger a wave of contract closures, such as forced liquidations due to margin shortages. Without the underlying daily volume to provide liquidity, the market may not be able to absorb the rush smoothly, leading to volatile, exaggerated price swings.
“The risk is mechanical. When open interest towers over daily volume, liquidations meet little resting flow to absorb them, and adverse moves extend further than they otherwise would. Traders have added substantial risk, most of it long, into a market that shows no matching demand,” blockchain analytics firm Glassnode said in a report.
The risk of an exaggerated move is particularly likely to the downside because of weakening demand and a lack of resting bids or buy orders at lower price levels.
MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, August 13th, 2026, Chainwire
MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released its July TradFi trading data. Monthly trading volume in Stock and Index Futures increased by 64%, while the number of available instruments exceeded 285. Storage-related Futures volume rose by more than fivefold and accounted for nearly 20% of total TradFi Futures volume for the month, making storage the largest contributor to growth in July.
Storage Emerges as the Main Growth Driver in Futures Trading
Trading trends across AI-related instruments on MEXC diverged sharply in July. Storage-sector volume increased by 575% month over month, while computing-chip volume declined by 18%, indicating a shift in trading interest from computing chips toward data storage.
Growth within the storage segment was concentrated among leading names. SanDisk (SNDK) recorded a 1,573% month-over-month increase and ranked first by trading volume among Stock and Index Futures. Micron (MU) trading volume rose by 130%, placing it third, while SK Hynix (SKHYNIX) increased by 1,274% to rank fifth, and Samsung (SAMSUNG) climbed by 1,406% to rank ninth. By contrast, NVIDIA trading volume declined by 38%, ranking it tenth.
The shift may reflect growing market attention beyond AI computing chips toward the storage layer of AI infrastructure. As AI training and inference require greater data capacity and more high-bandwidth memory, segments such as HBM and NAND are attracting increased interest.
Trading interest in the AI sector also expanded beyond individual stocks to sector and regional market instruments. The leveraged semiconductor ETF SOXL posted a 912% month-over-month increase and ranked seventh, while the leveraged South Korea ETF KORU rose by 3,044% to rank eighth, the largest increase among the top 10 instruments.
Beyond U.S. and South Korean stocks, MEXC has also listed Japan’s Kioxia and China’s ChangXin Memory Technologies. Through individual stocks, industry ETFs, and regional market ETFs, users can access different parts of the global AI value chain with USDT from a single account, without switching between multiple regional brokers.
Trading activity also increased in AI application-layer instruments. Volume in robotics and automation rose by 129% month over month in July. However, the segment remains relatively small, and market participation is still at an early stage. On July 31, MEXC listed Pre-IPO Futures for Unitree Robotics, enabling users to participate in trading before a potential public listing. With the continued addition of related instruments, MEXC TradFi Futures now span multiple parts of the AI value chain, including models, chips, storage, energy, and robotics.
Outside the AI segment, U.S. stocks with close ties to the crypto market also gained traction in July. Trading volume across the group increased by 66% month over month, led by Strategy (MSTR) at 85%, followed by Coinbase at 59%, Circle (CRCL) at 48%, and Robinhood at 35%.
Tokenized Stocks Account for 62% of TradFi Spot Volume
Tokenized stocks became the largest category within MEXC’s TradFi spot market in July, accounting for 62% of total spot trading volume. The number of available instruments increased by 11% month over month.
Unlike the more concentrated trading activity in Futures, spot-market activity was distributed across a broader range of themes. SpaceX (SPCX), the most actively traded tokenized stock, accounted for only 1.7% of tokenized-stock volume, while the top 10 instruments together represented less than 9%.
The top 10 covered nine categories: commercial space, stablecoins, storage, electric vehicles, semiconductors, Bitcoin-related equities, software, index ETFs, and AI servers. The distribution reflects more diversified trading demand in the spot market.
MEXC now offers a stock-related product suite spanning Pre-IPO Futures, Stock and Index Futures, tokenized stocks, and RealStocks. The platform provides more than 285 Stock and Index Futures, over 200 tokenized U.S. stock instruments, and access to more than 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs through RealStocks. Users can access these different forms of stock-related trading using USDT from a single account.
On August 8, MEXC launched its first annual brand campaign, MEXC 0808: Stock Season. During the campaign, users can trade Stock Futures, tokenized stocks, and RealStocks with 0 trading fees, alongside a total prize pool of $500,000. The campaign runs through August 28.
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said, “Interest across the AI value chain and global equity markets is evolving at an unprecedented pace, as investors look beyond traditional asset boundaries for the next generation of opportunities. At MEXC, we believe access should evolve with them. By combining 0-fee trading, USDT settlement, two-way Futures, and broader asset coverage, we are reducing the friction of moving between markets and building a more connected trading experience where investors can discover opportunities, express conviction, and manage exposure from one platform.”

Mutsamudu, Comoros, August 12, 2026 –MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released interim trading data for its Asian AI Pre-IPO Futures. Daily trading volume for UNITREEUSDT rose by as much as 1,104% day over day following its launch, while KIMIUSDT recorded a 562% day-over-day increase in trading volume on its second day.
MEXC became the first centralized exchange to list UNITREEUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual Futures on July 31, approximately 10 days before Unitree formally opened subscriptions for its STAR Market offering on August 10. The early listing gave eligible users a way to trade market expectations surrounding the company’s pre-listing valuation before the traditional allocation process began.
Unitree is a Chinese embodied-intelligence unicorn whose product portfolio includes humanoid and quadruped robots. Based on its offering price, the company is expected to have a post-listing market capitalization of approximately RMB 61 billion. Direct access through the conventional offering process, however, remained highly limited: the final online allocation rate was approximately 0.018%, and one successful lot required the purchase of 500 shares and a payment of about RMB 75,400.
Against this backdrop, UNITREEUSDT provides eligible users with an alternative route to trade expectations related to Unitree’s pre-listing valuation. Users do not need to wait for an IPO allocation result and can take either long or short positions based on their market view. As of August 9, the the contract was trading 64.44% above its launch price. The rapid increase in trading volume also reflects rising attention to both Unitree’s listing process and the broader embodied-intelligence sector.
Trading activity in UNITREEUSDT aligns with broader momentum across MEXC’s robotics segment. MEXC data for July showed that trading volume in robotics and automation futures increased 129% month over month, significantly outpacing the 64% overall increase recorded by Stock and Index Futures. Alongside continued market interest in chips and data storage, robotics and embodied intelligence are emerging as another major area of interest within AI-related asset trading.
MEXC expanded its Asian AI Pre-IPO coverage on August 6 with the launch of KIMIUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual Futures, extending access from embodied intelligence to foundation models. The consecutive launches of UNITREEUSDT and KIMIUSDT allow users to trade pre-listing expectations across two core areas of Asia’s AI industry on a single platform.
Both contracts support 24/7 long and short trading with leverage of up to 25x. Maker and taker fees are 0.01% and 0.04%, respectively. MEXC also provides deep order-book liquidity and tight bid-ask spreads, enabling eligible users to participate with USDT without opening brokerage accounts in multiple markets. Beyond Asian AI companies, MEXC continues to expand its Pre-IPO Futures coverage across high-profile private companies. The platform has also introduced exclusive first listings for additional assets, including Londian Wason, broadening the range of global private-market expectations that users can trade.
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said, “Asia is producing a new generation of globally competitive AI companies, yet global users still have limited tools to trade on related market expectations before these companies reach the public markets. The growth in UNITREEUSDT and KIMIUSDT trading demonstrates genuine demand for exposure to Asia’s frontier AI assets. MEXC will continue expanding its coverage of cutting-edge technology assets and provide global users with more timely and flexible cross-asset trading access, helping them capture infinite opportunities.”

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today released its May–June bimonthly security report, reinforcing its role as a trusted global gateway where security and trust always come first. The audit indicates that MEXC’s Futures Insurance Fund surpassed a landmark threshold of 750 million USDT as of June 29, marking a substantial 34% expansion over the preceding reporting period. Concurrently, reserve verification data confirm that the coverage ratios for BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC all remained safely above 100%, with Bitcoin delivering a reserve ratio of 269.35%.
During May–June, crypto security incidents remained elevated across the industry. According to aggregated data from major blockchain monitoring agencies, 142 independent security incidents were confirmed during the period, resulting in approximately US$194 million in verifiable financial losses. DeFi security incidents accounted for 55% of total incidents, with related losses of approximately US$150 million. Cross-chain bridges, private key management, and user endpoints emerged as the three major weak points in the industry’s security landscape during the period.
Against this backdrop, asset reserve transparency and risk-buffering capacity have become important foundations for user protection across trading platforms.
Futures Insurance Fund Grows to 751 Million USDT
Quantifying this safety buffer, the total balance of MEXC Futures Insurance Fund reached 751 million USDT by the June 29 close, marking a net capital inflow of over 191 million USDT relative to the prior bimonthly disclosure. This dedicated capital reserve serves as a primary systemic countermeasure designed to absorb unexpected liquidation slippage during periods of heightened market volatility.
By neutralizing excess delta risk, the fund systematically reduces the likelihood of activating Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) protocols, thereby ensuring orderly clearing conditions across all active derivatives markets. Real-time solvency tracking and live reserve balances remain continuously auditable via the public MEXC Proof of Trust interface.
Major Assets Continue to Maintain Excess Reserves, with BTC Reserve Ratio Reaching 269.35%
In addition to providing a risk buffer for the futures market, MEXC continues to enhance asset transparency through its Proof of Reserves mechanism, allowing users to verify asset backing directly on-chain.
As of the reporting date, reserve ratios for major assets were as follows:
- BTC: Reserve ratio of 269.35%, with 12,656.63 BTC held in wallets, corresponds to 4,698.90 BTC in user assets.
- ETH: Reserve ratio of 118.14%, with 77,527.30 ETH held in wallets.
- USDT: Reserve ratio of 113.95%, with approximately 2.139 billion USDT held in wallets.
- USDC: Reserve ratio of 125.41%, with approximately 95.41 million USDC held in wallets.
These reserve figures are publicly verifiable through on-chain wallet addresses and MEXC’s Merkle Tree-based Proof of Reserves system, enabling users to independently verify asset coverage.
Maintaining platform-wide custody standards, the MEXC Guardian Fund continues to operate its rigorous dual-reserve architecture consisting of USDT and BTC allocations. Every underlying crypto-asset remains fully segregated, verifiable, and tied to on-chain addresses that are permanently open to public audit. The strategic asset expansion roadmap previously disclosed by the corporate risk team remains fully underway.
Guardian Fund Wallet Addresses:
From risk identification to asset recovery, throughout the Entire Trading Journey
During May–June, user-side attacks also continued to increase. Phishing scams and endpoint & supply chain security incidents resulted in approximately US$28.59 million in related losses, highlighting the growing importance of account risk identification, external support for suspicious fund investigations, and asset recovery capabilities.
In terms of related user protection mechanisms, risk mitigation within the MEXC infrastructure extends far beyond baseline asset reserves, integrating advanced account risk identification, external forensic investigations into funds, and systematic recovery protocols for misdirected transfers.
During the May–June performance window, the platform’s financial intelligence unit successfully flagged and restricted 9,518 accounts linked to organized illicit syndicates, effectively dismantling 4,394 distinct fraudulent networks.
Geographically, these illicit operations exhibited high concentration vectors within two primary jurisdictions:
- Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Region: 2,096 fraudulent networks neutralized.
- Indonesia: 1,229 fraudulent networks neutralized.
In parallel with internal containment, MEXC significantly expanded its judicial and law-enforcement cooperation protocols. The compliance department processed 497 external statutory investigation requests, which included the successful execution of 53 judicial asset-freezing mandates. Furthermore, the platform’s real-time transaction monitoring systems intercepted 7 high-risk inbound illicit fund transfers, freezing a total of 303,277 USDT before it could contaminate the exchange’s broader liquidity pools.
Addressing user-side transactional errors, MEXC manually processed 812 individual asset recovery requests involving erroneous cross-chain deposits and misdirected transfers, successfully remediating assets valued at 343,515 USDT. Every sub-case was subjected to a dual-layer review protocol that combined manual asset verification with on-chain forensic auditing. Compliance teams deployed advanced multi-ledger cross-chain tracing techniques to locate, isolate, and safely return the misrouted capital to its rightful owners.
Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC, said, “True trust is not built on promises made before risks emerge, but on whether protection remains visible and verifiable when challenges arise. With our Futures Insurance Fund surpassing 750 million USDT, together with publicly verifiable Proof of Reserves, we are reinforcing MEXC’s role as a trusted global gateway where security and trust always come first, ensuring all user’s assets are safeguarded.”

Mutsamudu, Comoros, July 15, 2026 — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, stood out for its RWA and TradFi products in CoinGecko’s newly released TradFi on Crypto Exchanges Report 2026. The report shows that MEXC listed 358 RWA Spot and TradFi Perpetual Futures in total between January 2025 and May 2026, leading all exchanges tracked. Over the same period, its TradFi Perpetual Futures trading volume reached $323.86 billion, the second highest in the report, and its average monthly market share climbed to 22.8% in the first five months of 2026.
MEXC Ranks First in 358 RWA and TradFi Product Listings
As crypto and traditional financial markets continue to converge, RWA and TradFi products have become a key growth area for exchanges expanding beyond crypto assets.
CoinGecko’s report reviewed new listings across major centralized and decentralized exchanges from January 2025 to May 2026. During this period, MEXC listed 199 RWA Spot and 159 TradFi Perpetual Futures, 358 in total, ranking first among the exchanges covered. The broad coverage gives users more ways to trade stocks, commodities, and other traditional financial assets.
MEXC Ranks Second in TradFi Perpetual Futures Trading Volume With 22.8% Average Monthly Market Share
Beyond product coverage, MEXC also recorded one of the largest TradFi Perpetual Futures trading volumes among the platforms in the report.
Between January 2025 and May 2026, cumulative TradFi Perpetual Futures volume on MEXC reached $323.86 billion, second only to Binance among the platforms in the report. Over the same period, MEXC’s average monthly market share rose from 21.7% in 2025 to 22.8% in the first five months of 2026.
Notably, a rising share amid rapid expansion in the overall TradFi Perpetual Futures market indicates that MEXC’s trading volume grew faster than the market as a whole, underscoring strong trading activity in the segment.
From product listings and cumulative trading volume to monthly market share, the CoinGecko report reflects MEXC’s progress in RWA and TradFi trading.
