MEXC announced the official launch of RealStocks, a new equity trading product that gives eligible users access to real U.S.-listed shares through its crypto trading platform.
According to the company, the product brings traditional stock ownership into a crypto-style trading environment, allowing eligible users to buy shares in U.S. public companies through MEXC’s licensed broker partner, with exposure linked to the underlying equities rather than price-tracking products.
RealStocks links U.S. equities with crypto trading access
The launch follows a beta phase that attracted more than 20,000 early users, MEXC said. Through the product, eligible users can trade U.S. stocks using USDT within the exchange’s existing interface, while market access follows Nasdaq trading hours.
The company said users may also receive dividends or distributions where applicable, depending on the shares held. During the launch period, MEXC is offering zero platform trading fees for U.S. stock spot trading.
The rollout places MEXC deeper into the growing overlap between digital assets and traditional finance, as crypto platforms seek to broaden their offerings beyond tokens and derivatives.
Launch includes airdrops, stock rewards and data subsidies
MEXC is also introducing three promotional campaigns tied to the launch. One campaign offers additional SpaceX(PRE) airdrop rewards for users who complete a U.S. stock spot trade and join the SpaceX(PRE) Season 2 Launchpad subscription between May 28 and June 5.
The campaign carries a total prize pool of 200,000 USDT equivalent, with individual rewards capped at 5,000 USDT equivalent in SpaceX(PRE).
A second campaign, running from June 2 to June 16, includes a $1 million equivalent stock prize pool for users completing trading tasks. A third campaign will provide a real-time market data subsidy for qualifying new deposits during the first month after launch.
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said the product marks another step in widening market access for crypto users, moving from tokenized assets toward real share ownership inside a familiar trading environment.
“As 2026 brings a historic wave of IPO windows from the world’s top technology companies, crypto users will have the chance to participate as real shareholders for the first time.”
RealStocks extends MEXC’s zero-fee push
RealStocks comes amid MEXC’s broader effort to expand zero-fee trading into markets beyond crypto.
The exchange has recently promoted zero-fee trading across more than 200 global futures, including commodities and U.S. stock-linked contracts, while also offering zero-fee trading for the first 30 days on Ondo tokenized U.S. equity pairs.
MEXC has said it plans to extend its zero-fee approach across additional asset classes in 2026, placing RealStocks within a wider push to broaden traditional market-linked products on its platform.
