Mutsamudu, Comoros, September 14, 2026 โ MEXC, a pioneer in zero-fee digital asset trading, has released its August trading data for new tokens and TradFi assets. The number of users trading new tokens rose 21% from July, while the top-performing token reached a peak gain of 14,143%. During the same period, TradFi Spot trading volume increased 13% month over month, driven by a 31% rise in tokenized stock trading volume. From early-stage tokens to tokenized stocks, trading activity on MEXC grew across both crypto and traditional asset markets in August.
In the new-token market, the number of users trading new tokens on MEXC rose 21% month over month in August. The top 10 tokens by peak gain recorded an average peak gain of 3,358%, up 145% month over month, with Niu Lai (็ๆฅ) ranking first at 14,143%. Five of these tokens also ranked among the top 10 by Spot trading volume, together accounting for 65% of trading volume among the top 10 new tokens by volume. Among the top 10 tokens by trading volume, five memecoins contributed 55% of total volume, while AI, RWA, DeFi, and cross-chain infrastructure projects made up the remaining 45%. While memecoins led trading activity, utility-focused projects across AI, RWA, and DeFi also drew strong interest.
During the same period, TradFi Spot activity expanded further into stock-related assets. Tokenized stock trading volume rose 31% month over month in August, making it the main driver of TradFi Spot growth. Tokenized stocks including CRCL, NBIS, and SPCX ranked among the top 10 assets by trading volume. Gold-related assets also remained active, with GOLD (PAXG) trading volume rising 43% month over month and ranking first in TradFi Spot.
Precious metals Futures showed a clearer divergence. Trading volume rose 32% month over month in August, keeping precious metals the largest asset class by volume in TradFi Futures. XAU volume increased 57% and SILVER rose 39%, while XAUT declined 10%. This indicates growth was concentrated mainly in XAU and silver-related assets rather than spread evenly across the category.
As trading demand grew across both crypto and traditional markets, MEXC supported participation through a range of campaigns and product access points. During the month, the platform launched three flagship campaigns focused on TradFi, xStocks, and MOVE, each with a total prize pool of 1 million USDT. The โTradFi Million-Dollar Galaโ attracted more than 174,000 registrations and generated an average daily trading volume of 4.2 billion USDT. The xStocks flagship campaign featured tokenized stocks including NVDAX, CRCLX, and TSLAX, further expanding user access to markets linked to traditional assets.
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said, โWhether users are looking at early-stage tokens, stocks, or precious metals, they want fast and convenient access when new trading opportunities emerge. MEXC will continue expanding its cross-asset coverage, reducing unnecessary friction between markets, and giving users more flexibility to trade different asset classes on a single platformโ
