MEXC has announced the launch of MEXC 0808: Stock Season, a new annual brand event celebrating its “0 Fees and Infinite Opportunities” strategy. Early registration opened on August 5, with the official campaign running from August 8 to August 28, 2026. Participants will compete for a share of a $500,000 reward pool, with individual prizes reaching up to $3,888, stock futures positions worth $88, and APR boosters up to 888%.
The inaugural edition places equities at the forefront, reflecting a surge in stock trading via crypto platforms. MEXC cited data showing monthly U.S. equity trading volume across six major centralized crypto exchanges jumped 337.4% in June 2026 to $189.84 billion, representing 48.3% of total TradFi volume on those exchanges. As part of the promotion, MEXC will temporarily waive trading fees on its stock futures, tokenized stocks, and RealStocks products. Users earn raffle tickets by trading stock-related products, sharing the campaign, and referring new users.
CEO Vugar Usi Zade emphasized that the event underscores MEXC’s commitment to lowering barriers and broadening access to global equity markets. The exchange has expanded its lineup to include over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, 200+ stock and index futures, 200+ tokenized U.S. equities, and Pre-IPO Launchpad investments. MEXC reported a 261% month-over-month increase in stock and index futures volume in June, highlighting growing demand. The campaign also celebrates the zero-fee model that helped approximately 3.44 million users avoid more than 1.1 billion USDT in fees during 2025.
