The demand for compliant stablecoins is on the rise. To address this need, global crypto exchange MEXC recently launched zero-fee promotions for popular futures trading pairs.
The move is designed to lower the barrier of entry to futures trading and empower traders to capitalize on rebounding market conditions.
MEXC’s zero-fee campaign is one of the many ways the exchange has recognized user demand and addressed it with simple and innovative solutions.
USDC Pairs Lead Q2 Trading Volume Growth
According to the CoinGecko Q2 2025 Crypto Industry Report, Q2 set a new record in the stablecoin market cap at $243.1B (now at $288B), and saw a 24% increase in total crypto market cap.
More specifically, the $USDC stablecoin grew by a whopping $1.4B in Q2 2025, signaling the market’s increasing demand for compliant stablecoins.
As the name would suggest, compliant stablecoins refer to stablecoins that meet financial regulations. These regulations could be in the form of being under regulatory oversight, fully backed by cash or bonds, and regularly audited.
Compared to Bitcoin and altcoins like Ethereum and Solana, stablecoin prices tend to be less volatile. These make them better-suited to trading, payments, and savings rather than speculating or investing.
$USDT and $USDC are two of the largest stablecoins in terms of market capitalization. Between the two, the Tether-developed $USDT is more widely used and has a higher market cap ($168B+), while $USDC is better-known for its regulatory compliance and transparency.
A Pair for Traders of Every Kind
As the market shifted from finding the best meme coins in Q1 to investing in more mainstream crypto, MEXC introduced zero trading fees on select trading pairs. Each one has been carefully selected to not only meet stablecoin demand, but also to address various risk appetites and investment strategies.
On the more mainstream side, there’s $ETH/$USDT. However, MEXC added $SUI/$USDC and $TON/$USDC, to cater to traders looking for up-and-coming pairs.
Meanwhile, $HYPE/$USDC fills the need for more innovative projects, and the $POPCAT/$USDC trading pair is tailored for those willing to buy high-risk, high-reward crypto.
It appears MEXC chose their zero-fee pairings wisely, considering each pair’s market share:
- $TON/$USDC: 42%
- $ETH/$USDT: 33%
- $HYPE/$USDC: 21%
- $ONDO/$USDC: 5%
- $POPCAT/$USDC: 5%
In total, MEXC offers zero fees on 100 tokens on its exchange.
Through the exchange’s futures trading market, you can bet on the future price of a cryptocurrency without actually owning that asset.
Futures trading also allows you to use leverage, where you borrow funds to control a larger position with the actual amount of money you have.
MEXC offers up to 500x leverage. This means if you have $10 and choose 500x leverage, you’ll be able to open a position size of $5K.
Aside from stablecoins, you can also trade Ethereum futures on MEXC. Learn more about that in our roundup of the best Ethereum futures platforms.
