Mutsamudu, Comoros, July 22, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, increased its market share in Q2 2026 and ranked No. 2 globally in commodity perpetuals market share, according to TokenInsight's newly released Q2 2026 Crypto Exchange Report. The report provides a comprehensive review of trading volume, open interest, and TradFi perpetuals markets across major global crypto exchanges.

MEXC Expands Market Share Amid Industry-Wide Slowdown

Overall trading volume across crypto exchanges declined approximately 8% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2026, falling to $16.5 trillion. Despite the broader market slowdown, MEXC's quarterly trading volume reached approximately $1.412 trillion, with its market share rising from 7.17% in Q1 to 8.53% in Q2. This 1.36 percentage point gain was the second-largest increase among all exchanges tracked in the report.

Derivatives Market Share Ranks No. 4, Open Interest Climbs to No. 3 Globally

MEXC's derivatives market share reached 9.51%, ranking fourth globally, placing it alongside Binance, OKX, and Bybit in a top tier that together commands more than 72% of the market. Meanwhile, MEXC's average open interest market share rose from 8.62% to 9.21%, climbing to third place, up from fourth in Q1.

TradFi Momentum Drives Commodity Perpetuals to No. 2

TradFi perpetuals became a key growth driver for MEXC in Q2 2026, as the segment emerged as the industry's fastest-growing product category. MEXC's TradFi perpetuals trading volume reached $68.8 billion, giving it a 10.85% market share and a fourth-place global ranking. Within MEXC's own platform, TradFi perpetuals accounted for 7.22% of total derivatives volume, the third-highest such proportion among major centralized exchanges.

Commodities stood out as the strongest-performing segment within MEXC's TradFi perpetuals business. MEXC's market share in commodity perpetuals — including gold, silver, and crude oil — rose from 10.6% to 14.7% in Q2, a gain of 4.1 percentage points. This was the largest increase among all exchanges tracked in the report. The gain brought MEXC to the No. 2 position globally in commodity perpetuals market share.

Product Expansion into Pre-IPO and Real Stocks

Building on this momentum, MEXC further broadened its TradFi product suite in Q2 with the launch of the SpaceX Pre-IPO Launchpad and RealStocks trading. The Pre-IPO Launchpad gives users early access to pre-listing markets, while RealStocks extends MEXC's U.S. equities offering beyond contract-based price exposure to direct U.S. stock ownership, complete with zero trading fees and corresponding dividend entitlements. These launches mark MEXC's expansion beyond TradFi contracts linked to gold, oil, and U.S. equities into pre-IPO opportunities and direct U.S. stock ownership, creating a one-stop gateway spanning crypto, TradFi, Pre-IPO, and real U.S. stocks.
