II. Perpetual DEXs Lead the Charge as Multiple Sectors Show Strong Growth

In September, MEXC’s new tokens showed strong performance in Perpetual DEX, AI, and Stablecoin-related sectors. The top 10 tokens by spot trading volume achieved an astonishing average gain of +2,620%—a 47% increase from Q2—showcasing both the market’s appetite for high-beta investments and MEXC’s knack for identifying promising tokens early.

Perpetual DEXs dominated market conversations this month, with flagship projects on BSC and Base chains delivering exceptional results (ASTER +712%, AVNT +5,400%). This highlights both the recovery in derivatives trading and the ongoing shift toward multi-chain expansion. AI-related projects claimed two spots in the top rankings (AIA +532%, COAI +613%), fueling the decentralized AI narrative. Meanwhile, the stablecoin/RWA sector made a strong showing with three entries (STBL +12,125%, XPL +747%, RIVER +1,900%). DePIN and meme sectors rounded out the mix (BLESS +2,047%, GIGGLE +220%). These all create a diverse opportunity landscape centered around “Perpetual DEX + RWA + Decentralized AI”.

III. BSC Ecosystem Leads the Rally and 60% of Top Tokens Appear on Both Performance Lists

In September, the top 10 new tokens by highest price increase achieved an impressive average gain of +3,055%—up 40% from the previous month—highlighting the market’s strong appetite for high-risk, high-reward opportunities.

Looking at the ecosystem breakdown, BSC dominated the landscape with four projects making the top performers list (STBL, LIGHT, HANA, ASTER), averaging a staggering 4,373% increase. STBL led the pack with an eye-popping 12,125% gain. This demonstrates BSC’s dual strength in both project quantity and growth potential, making it September’s hottest trading sector. Ethereum ecosystem projects followed with two entries (WLFI, LINEA), averaging 1,519% growth. Other notable ecosystems included Base (AVNT +5,400%), Solana (BLESS +2,047%), SOMNIA (SOMI +1,828%), and PLASMA (XPL +747%). The solid performance of emerging ecosystems highlights the explosive potential of specialized L1/L2 chains.

Notably, 60% of tokens appeared on both the top trading volume and top price increase lists, with six tokens making both rankings (STBL, AVNT, WLFI, XPL, ASTER, BLESS). This correlation between trading activity and price performance underscores how high liquidity often drives strong price momentum, helping MEXC users maximize returns on trending projects.

IV. Premium Listing Strategy and Innovative User Engagement Drive Platform Growth

The total reward pool grew by 13% compared to August, with new users receiving average rewards exceeding 50 USDT—a compelling incentive for newcomers.

The month’s standout innovation was a revamped lottery mechanism that expanded reward distribution and attracted 4,855 participants. Users earned lottery entries through task completion, with each round offering chances at premium token rewards. The 0G Airdrop+ lottery, for example, featured prizes worth up to 5,000 USDT in 0G tokens. A new tiered reward system further incentivized deeper engagement, with users unlocking additional contract bonuses worth up to 1,000 USDT after completing 10 lottery entries.
