The exchange released the figures on October 22, 2026, reporting that stock-themed meme tokens also took the two leading positions in its new-token spot volume ranking.
Key takeaways
- MEXC reported September volume gains of 77% for new-token spot trading and 78% for TradFi spot trading.
- 4STOCK and MEMEROBINHOOD generated about 38% of volume among the top 10 new tokens.
- The xStocks Gala campaign drew nearly 100,000 registrations.
MEXC’s September growth extended beyond trading volume
MEXC reported a 77% monthly increase in new-token spot volume and a 78% rise in TradFi spot volume for September. Tokenized U.S. stocks accounted for approximately 66% of the increase in TradFi spot volume.
The exchange also expanded its listings and participation. Its count of newly listed tokens rose 15% from the previous month, while the number of users trading new tokens increased 27%.
Stock meme projects led the new-token rankings
Seven tokens in September’s top 10 by new-token spot volume made their exchange debut on MEXC. The two leaders, 4STOCK and MEMEROBINHOOD, together generated approximately 38% of that group’s combined volume, according to the exchange’s figures.
Stock-themed projects also featured prominently in a separate ranking of the top 10 gainers. MEMEROBINHOOD, SI, MOO and 4STOCK appeared in that list and collectively represented approximately 67% of its total trading volume.
Across the two rankings, five distinct Stock Meme projects appeared. Three of those projects operate on Robinhood Chain.
Stock-related assets expanded into on-chain trading pairs
Tokenized stocks are being used as quote assets in on-chain new-token trading pairs, extending their use beyond trading the stock tokens themselves. EMBER and BREW, tokens associated with launch platforms that support pairs between new tokens and stock-related assets, both reached MEXC’s top 10 new tokens by spot volume.
Circle launched its Arc blockchain mainnet on September 16, 2026. ARGUS, the token of a launch platform operating on Arc, began trading on MEXC that day and finished among September’s top 10 new tokens by spot volume.
Circle-related activity also appeared in the exchange’s tokenized stock market. CRCL’s monthly trading volume increased 103%, putting it fourth in the TradFi spot volume ranking.
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi linked the activity across the two markets: “The convergence of stocks and crypto assets is changing how users participate in markets. A single market theme can drive trading activity in both tokenized U.S. stocks and on-chain new tokens.”
MEXC’s tokenized stock trading campaign drew nearly 100,000 registrations
The September xStocks Gala campaign attracted nearly 100,000 registrations, MEXC said. Average daily trading volume during the event exceeded $3.4 billion.
The campaign focused on tokenized U.S. stocks and combined assets with trading incentives to encourage participation. Usi said MEXC aims to give users access to cross-market opportunities through zero-fee trading and broader asset coverage.
MRVL and META entered the TradFi top 10
MRVL and META joined MEXC’s top 10 assets by TradFi spot volume in September, with trading volume increasing 212% and 152%, respectively. Their entries brought the number of tokenized U.S. stocks in that ranking to five, compared with three in August.
The increase in MEXC’s tokenized stock trading extended beyond those entrants: more than half of the tokenized U.S. stocks on the exchange recorded at least twice their previous month’s trading volume.
