The number of new assets on the platform increased by 34% compared to August.
Derivative platforms and RWA tokens are the market drivers
Tokens in the derivative platforms, AI, and stablecoin segments showed the highest profitability. The top 10 tokens in terms of spot trading volume grew by an average of 2620%, which is 47% more than in the second quarter.
Flagship tokens of derivatives platforms such as AVNT (up 5400%) and ASTER (up 712%) set the tone for the month, supported by the Base and BSC ecosystems.
The AI tokens AIA (532%) and COAI (613%) demonstrate the growing investor interest in decentralised AI solutions, while the stablecoin/RWA category — including STBL (12,125%), RIVER (1900%) and XPL (747%) — highlights the integration of online finance with tokenised real assets, the company said.
BSC became the leading ecosystem in September: four tokens (STBL, LIGHT, HANA, ASTER) showed an average growth of 4373%. Ethereum projects followed with an increase of 1519%, while the Base, Solana, and new Somnia and Plasma ecosystems also provided three- and four-digit returns, the report said:
«Notably, 60% of the tokens were in the top tier for both trading volume and price appreciation, demonstrating the strong correlation between liquidity depth and value acceleration — a key driver of profitability for MEXC users».
Launchpad and apps for users
The exchange said that three «premium listings» — WLFI, LINEA, and XPL — took place on the MEXC launchpad, attracting more than 27,000 participants and raising approximately $620,000. All three tokens were later ranked among the best performers in September.
The Spin & Win campaign attracted users with gamified mechanics with new visual themes, increased prize pools, and a multi-event structure, the company noted. More than $100,000 in prizes were awarded through the World Animal Day Wheel of Fortune alone, including up to 5,400 DOGEs per participant.
The Airdrop+ programme increased the total reward pool by 13% compared to August, with new users receiving an average of USD50. A new tiered lottery attracted around 5,000 participants with prizes of up to 5,000 USDT per round, and contract bonus mechanisms provided additional engagement, MEXC said.
Foundation for expansion in Q4
With record trading activity, diversification of top ecosystems, and ongoing product innovation, MEXC is strengthening its position as one of the fastest growing exchanges in the market, the company said:
«The combination of highly profitable listings, user-centric incentives and strategic alignment with ecosystems reflects the platform’s mission to provide global users with access to new opportunities before the next market cycle».
