Mutsamudu, Comoros, August 17, 2026 — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has unveiled MEXC 0808: Stock Season, the inaugural edition of an annual brand celebration built around the themes of 0 Fees and Infinite Opportunities. Early bird registration is now open ahead of the main campaign launch on August 8, giving participants the opportunity to compete for a share of a $500,000 prize pool.

With the launch, MEXC establishes 0808 as a recurring annual brand milestone. According to the exchange, zero fees are not limited to a single campaign period; they represent a value that MEXC continues to deliver throughout the year by reducing trading costs and making more markets accessible. Each August 8, the company said it will bring that commitment into focus through new products, market opportunities, and user rewards. In 2025 alone, MEXC's 0 Fee strategy saved 3.44 million users a combined total of more than 1.1 billion USDT in trading fees — an average of roughly 320 USDT per user, a scale that illustrates how quickly trading costs can accumulate for active market participants.

For this first edition, MEXC has introduced Stock Season as the 0808 theme, a choice that reflects the rapid growth of stock trading on crypto exchange infrastructure. A recent report jointly released by MEXC and CoinGecko found that U.S. stock trading volume across six major centralized exchanges rose 337.4% month over month to $189.84 billion in June 2026. U.S. stocks accounted for 48.3% of total TradFi trading volume and, for the first time, became the market's largest traditional asset category. The figures underscore how centralized exchanges are evolving into multi-asset venues, layering conventional instruments such as U.S. equities and ETFs on top of existing crypto market infrastructure rather than remaining crypto-only platforms.

"0808 brings together the two values at the center of MEXC, 0 Fees and Infinite Opportunities. It represents more than a campaign. It is a celebration of the values that define MEXC," said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. "Our commitment to 0 Fees is about removing barriers, while Infinite Opportunities is about helping users access more markets, more products and more ways to participate in the global financial system. Every year, MEXC 0808 will showcase how we continue delivering on those commitments. Through Stock Season, we are giving users more ways to discover and participate in opportunities across the global equity market."

MEXC has expanded its stock offering to provide access across different product formats and investment stages. Alongside RealStocks, which provides access to more than 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, the exchange offers over 200 stock and index futures products, more than 200 tokenized U.S. equities — blockchain-based representations of shares — and Pre-IPO Launchpad opportunities. Together, these products give users access to real shares, derivatives, tokenized exposure, and early-stage investment opportunities through a single account, the company said, condensing what has conventionally required separate relationships with a stock brokerage and a crypto exchange. In June 2026, MEXC's stock and index futures trading volume increased approximately 261% month over month, a figure the exchange pointed to as evidence of growing demand for stock-related products among crypto investors.

To celebrate Stock Season, MEXC will offer 0 Fees across Stock Futures, Tokenized Stocks, and RealStocks, extending the exchange's signature crypto fee model to its equity products for the campaign window and helping users participate in global stock opportunities at lower cost during one of the year's most active market periods.
