MEXC, a trading platform built around zero-fee digital asset trading, has announced its September 2026 platform highlights, led by an expansion of its traditional finance (TradFi) asset coverage to more than 10,000 assets and an additional allocation of 1,000 BTC to its Guardian Fund. The company said the developments reflect its ongoing efforts to broaden users' access to global markets and strengthen the protection of user assets. The TradFi milestone also underscores a broader shift in which digital asset platforms are positioning themselves as access points to markets well beyond cryptocurrencies.

In September, MEXC recorded $407 billion in total trading volume. The platform listed 178 new tokens across spot and futures markets, and those new listings generated $551 million in trading volume.

MEXC said it continues to build what it calls a "0 Fee Gateway to Infinite Opportunities," lowering trading costs while giving users access to a broader range of markets. During the month, the platform expanded its 0-Fee trading offering to 1,575 trading pairs, helping users save $110 million in trading fees. For active traders, fees are a recurring cost of market participation, and the company has framed the zero-fee model as a core part of its retail-focused proposition.

The exchange also moved to reinforce user trust through measures centered on asset protection and transparency. A series of recent security incidents across the digital asset industry has highlighted the evolving risks facing crypto platforms and their users, underscoring the need for continued investment in user protection. Protection funds and independently audited reserve reports are among the tools exchanges use to address those risks and demonstrate solvency to users.

In September, MEXC allocated an additional 1,000 BTC to its Guardian Fund, marking its second major BTC allocation this year. The fund now holds 2,000 BTC and more than 100 million USDT, strengthening the reserves set aside for user protection.

The platform also released its September Proof of Reserves report, independently audited by Hacken, which showed reserve ratios of 119% for USDT, 111% for USDC, 297% for BTC and 111% for ETH. All four assets registered ratios above 100%, indicating sufficient reserves to cover corresponding user liabilities. Third-party audits of this kind give users an external reference point for checking that reported reserves cover stated liabilities.

On the customer service front, MEXC handled 48,268 user inquiries in September with an average response time of 76.71 seconds. The platform also issued 24,908 Loss Coverage Vouchers, which the company said reflects its continued commitment to responsive service and user support.

The month's progress, according to MEXC, reflects a user-first approach driven by efforts to expand asset access, lower trading costs and strengthen asset protection in line with users' evolving needs. The company said it will continue to improve its platform and services to deliver a more accessible, secure and user-centric trading experience. Future monthly highlights and reserve reports will offer the next checkpoints for tracking how the Guardian Fund and the platform's TradFi coverage develop.

Founded in 2018, MEXC is a global multi-asset trading platform that positions itself as a zero-fee gateway to a wide range of markets. Serving users across more than 170 markets, it offers access to crypto, stocks, tokenized assets, derivatives and a growing range of TradFi-linked opportunities through a single account and a single gateway. The platform emphasizes zero trading fees, deep liquidity, broad asset coverage and a high-performance trading experience aimed at retail users. As crypto and traditional finance converge, the company said it is focused on making global opportunities more accessible.

Further details are available on the MEXC official website, via X and Telegram, on the platform's Proof of Trust page, and in the official blog announcement.
