MEXC, a pioneer in zero-fee digital asset trading, has added five new Ondo tokenized stock trading pairs to its Spot market, broadening user access to equities across AI infrastructure, semiconductors, enterprise software, and rare earth materials. The selection reflects growing investor interest in companies tied to critical technology supply chains, from semiconductor manufacturing inputs to the rare earth elements underpinning defense and clean-energy applications.

The newly listed pairs are:

• AXTION/USDT (AXT Inc)
• AEHRON/USDT (Aehr Test Systems)
• APLDON/USDT (Applied Digital)
• USARON/USDT (USA Rare Earth)
• SAPON/USDT (SAP SE)

All five pairs went live on Spot on August 6, 2026, at 13:30 UTC, with deposits already open. Withdrawals are scheduled to open on August 7, 2026, at 13:30 UTC.

According to report data jointly published by MEXC and CoinGecko, demand for stock-related products on cryptocurrency exchanges increased significantly in 2026. U.S. stock trading volume across six major centralized exchanges surged 337.4% month over month in June, reaching $189.84 billion. This figure accounted for 48.3% of total TradFi volume, surpassing precious metals to become the largest traditional-asset category for the first time. Over the same period, MEXC's own monthly TradFi volume expanded approximately 59-fold, hitting $91.12 billion in May. The platform ranked second by monthly market share among the six tracked exchanges for five consecutive months.

The report also identified a bidirectional trend: crypto-native users are increasingly entering traditional-asset trading, while some traditional-finance users have begun migrating activity to crypto exchanges. Key drivers cited include round-the-clock market access, lower barriers to entry, faster execution speeds, and the convenience of managing multiple asset classes from a single account. In response, MEXC has continued to expand its U.S. stock coverage to deliver a more efficient, lower-barrier, one-stop trading experience for users worldwide.

This listing represents the 27th batch of tokenized stock pairs introduced through MEXC's ongoing collaboration with Ondo. Ondo tokenized stocks enable retail and institutional users outside the United States to instantly mint and redeem tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, 24 hours a day, five days a week. The partnership forms part of the broader real-world asset (RWA) tokenization trend, in which blockchain-based issuance of traditional securities has expanded from tokenized treasuries to individual equities. MEXC has stated it will continue working with Ondo to expand on-chain access to traditional securities.

Separately, MEXC has launched MEXC 0808: Stock Season, its annual brand event themed around "0 Fees" and "Infinite Opportunities." The event runs from August 8 to August 28 (UTC), with early bird registration now open. During the campaign, MEXC will waive trading fees on Stock Futures, Tokenized Stocks, and RealStocks. Further details are available on the event page.

MEXC describes itself as the world's fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, serving more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. The platform offers access to over 3,000 digital assets alongside tokenized instruments including stocks, ETFs, commodities, and precious metals.
