I. New Token Trading: Meme Drives Attention, AI and DeFi Anchor the Trading Volume
In June, the top 10 new tokens by spot trading volume on MEXC recorded an average peak gain of approximately +2,552%. Meme remained a key entry point for trading attention, with ANSEM, JOTCHUA, and DOGEUS holding 3 seats; beyond that, AI and DeFi infrastructure took on the bulk of this month’s trading volume.
AI showed a two-pronged layout. ARX and THREE addressed AI’s underlying compute privacy and application-layer autonomous agents respectively, while CS (DeFAI) further extended this month’s AI Agent momentum. O (a DeFi / DEX aggregator) and CAP (yield infrastructure for a verifiable synthetic dollar) entered the trading volume top 10, reflecting a sustained base of trading demand for DeFi infrastructure tokens; RE represented the RWA direction on the spot side this month.
Overall, June’s new token trading exhibited a structure in which Meme attracted market attention while AI, DeFi, and RWA absorbed diverse trading demand.
II. Top 10 New Tokens Average Peak Gain +3,715%, BSC Takes the Top 3 Gainers, Solana Breaks Out Across Multiple Sectors
June’s top 10 new tokens by peak gain averaged +3,715%, up approximately 138% from May. PERM led with +7,988%, followed by SYRT (+7,390%) and CS (+5,048%), with all top three exceeding +5,000%.
In terms of ecosystem distribution, the top three gainers this month all came from BSC: PERM represents Web3 infrastructure and decentralized storage, SYRT is an on-chain ZK intent settlement layer for AI Agents, and CS is an AI trading agent for retail users. Together they show the AI Agent narrative extending into more concrete use cases such as trade execution and settlement.
On the other hand, Solana held 6 of the top 10 gainers, making it the ecosystem with the broadest sector coverage this month. Beyond AI-related tokens, the list also included Meme, GameFi, and sports-event-themed assets, showing that Solana this month was driven not by a single narrative but by multiple themes delivering high gains simultaneously.
From new token listing to price discovery, MEXC continues to cover multiple market lines including AI Agent, the Solana ecosystem, Web3 infrastructure, Meme, and GameFi, providing users with more diverse early-stage entry points and continuously empowering them to capture “Infinite Opportunities.”
III. Stock and Index Futures Expand by Nearly 50%, SpaceX Listing Drives Event-Driven Trading
In June, MEXC TradFi futures trading pairs increased to 237. Among them, stock and index futures coverage expanded approximately 48% MoM, continuing to broaden users’ trading coverage of popular US stocks and the tech supply chain.
In terms of trading structure, gold and silver remained the core foundation. XAUT, XAU, and SILVER ranked as the top 3 by trading volume, together accounting for approximately 60% of June’s TradFi futures volume, reflecting users’ continued use of precious metals to capture macro volatility.
This month’s most representative event-driven hotspot came from SpaceX, spanning both the futures and spot sides. On the futures side, SPCX ranked 5th and was the highest-volume US equity futures contract; on the spot side, SPCXON (SpaceX tokenized stock) likewise rose to 5th in TradFi spot trading volume and became the highest-volume tokenized US stock. Beyond SpaceX, AI semiconductor names such as MU and NVIDIA also ranked among the top US equity futures by volume. SPX500 and NAS100 both entered the top 10, showing that beyond trading individual popular US stocks, users also participate in the broader tech and US equity markets through indices.
On the spot side, forex and gold remained the foundation of TradFi spot trading: EUR led spot trading volume with an approximately 18% share, while GOLD (PAXG) and GOLD (XAUT) together accounted for about 21%, bringing the three combined to roughly 40% of spot trading volume. Tokenized US stocks were the clearest source of growth on the spot side this month. Beyond the leading SPCXON, names such as MRVLON, MUON, and INTCON brought tokenized US stocks to 4 seats in the spot trading volume top 10, a clear expansion from 2 in May, reflecting continuously rising user demand for spot exposure to US equities.
IV. SPACEX(PRE) Subscriptions Surpass $100M, Campaign Suite Covers the Full Path from New-Listing Subscription to Interactive Engagement
In June, MEXC’s campaign suite continued its four entry points — Launchpad, Launchpool, Airdrop+, and Spin & Win — echoing this month’s market enthusiasm for US equities and Pre-IPO assets.
Launchpad
The second round of SPACEX(PRE) attracted over 36,000 participants, with total subscriptions of approximately 118 million USDT, making it MEXC’s first Launchpad to surpass $100 million in a single round. Based on the price range during the reporting period, SPACEX(PRE) delivered a maximum return of approximately 38%. Following May’s first round, the second round scaled up further, continuing to meet market demand for participation in popular Pre-IPO assets.
Launchpool
June’s Launchpool continued its dual-path “staking + trading” mechanism: the KSKD Launchpool offered new users an APR of up to 490% and existing users a maximum APR of 116%; the NEX Launchpool offered new users an APR of up to 324%. Beyond staking, users could raise their staking coefficient by completing designated spot and futures trading volume; the platform also set up a trading pool, allowing users to participate in reward distribution through trading alone without staking, further lowering the participation threshold.
Airdrop+
In June, MEXC held 15 Airdrop+ events, with cumulative participation reaching 200,000. Compared to May, the number of events grew 25% MoM, and the prize pool increased from over 500K USDT to over 700K USDT. Airdrop+ continued to use deposits, trading, and new-token tasks as its main formats, lowering the barrier for users to engage with popular new tokens.
Spin & Win
Spin & Win launched the “June Spotlights: New Listings” themed campaign, with a total prize pool of 100K USDT and a maximum individual reward worth $5,000 in BTC. Through the spin wheel, tasks, and new-token-themed interaction, it provided new users with a more intuitive entry point into new listings.
