Crypto exchange MEXC has launched zero commission promotions for popular futures trading pairs, which led to their growth in Q2 2025. This is according to a release provided by Incrypted.
According to the company, this strategy significantly lowered barriers to entry and enabled traders to maximise the market recovery conditions. In addition, it was fully in line with general trends.
Here, the organisation refers to CoinGecko’s report on the cryptosphere for the second quarter of 2025. According to it, the total capitalisation of the crypto market grew by 24%, the sector of stablecoins — to $243.1 billion. In particular, MEXC noted the growth of USDC by $1.4 billion, which, according to the company, reflects the high demand for regulated stablecoins.
Trading volume growth due to USDC pairs
Catching on to this trend, MEXC launched zero commission target shares for popular futures pairs with a margin in USDC. This strategy significantly reduced costs for traders and engaged users, allowing them to capitalise on the expanding stablecoin ecosystem.
As a result, the MEXC campaign generated significant growth in trading volumes across key pairs, some of which became clear favourites with the audience.
Dominance in key market sectors
As MEXC noted, in Q2, investor focus shifted from memcoins to more fundamental positions — the largest crypto assets, infrastructure upgrades and innovations in DeFi. MEXC caught this shift in time, launching a «0% commission» campaign for the most sought-after tokens:
- TON/USDC: 42% market share
- ETH/USDT: 33% market share
- HYPE/USDC: 21% market share
- ONDO/USDC and POPCAT/USDC: 5% market share growth each
Variety of trading opportunities for different types of traders
MEXC’s zero commission shares cover a wide range of trading pairs to cater for different strategies and risk levels of users, the company emphasised.
In particular:
- ETH/USDT responds to demand in liquid blue chips;
- SUI/USDC and TON/USDC open access to promising public blockchains;
- HYPE/USDC satisfies interest in innovative projects and new tokens;
- POPCAT/USDC attracts traders with high risk tolerance looking for an opportunity to make money on memcoins.
A strategic framework for continued growth
The zero commissions model has significantly reduced trading costs, triggering a positive cycle of volume growth and market share gains. Through a combination of eliminating commissions and strategically selecting trading pairs in relevant sectors, MEXC provided users with comprehensive benefits ranging from access to liquid and popular assets to diversification and cost savings.
The Q2 results laid the foundation for further expansion, strengthening MEXC’s position in the futures trading segment and providing coverage of an increasing number of digital asset categories, the release emphasised.
