MEXC launches RealStocks for zero-fee U.S. stock trades

MEXC announced on June 1, 2026 the launch of RealStocks, a product that lets eligible users buy real U.S.-listed shares on its platform using USDT. During the launch period MEXC is waiving its platform trading fee for U.S. spot stock trades. Where a security’s terms allow, holders will be entitled to dividends or distributions.

Trades are routed through Atomic Vaults, a U.S. FINRA-licensed broker-dealer identified by MEXC as its executing partner. Atomic Vaults provides brokerage infrastructure, supports fractional investing and stablecoin funding, and offers institutional-grade clearing and custody. MEXC said Atomic Vaults handles over $15 billion in monthly trading volume.

MEXC said the RealStocks feature was integrated into its existing trading interface and follows a beta used by more than 20,000 early participants. Stock trading on the platform is tied to Nasdaq market hours and users can fund purchases with USDT.

MEXC is waiving its platform service charge only during the launch. The company cautioned that other mandatory fees may still apply, including SEC transaction fees, FINRA trading activity fees, exchange and market center fees, regulatory fees and any applicable clearing fees. Access to the service is limited to jurisdictions where local law permits.

To support the rollout, MEXC launched three limited-time incentive campaigns. From May 28 to June 5 a SpaceX(PRE) airdrop promotion carries a total prize pool equivalent to 200,000 USDT, with a maximum per-user award of 5,000 USDT equivalent. From June 2 to June 16 the platform offers zero-fee U.S. stock spot trading and trading tasks that share a $1,000,000 stock prize pool. The company also offers a market data subsidy for qualifying deposits during the first month after the U.S. stock launch.

In a company statement, MEXC chief executive Vugar Usi described RealStocks as allowing users to own traditional financial assets inside the MEXC trading environment and noted the product follows the firm’s earlier tokenized stock and pre-IPO offerings.

MEXC’s public materials state the announcement is informational and not investment advice. The company reports it serves more than 40 million users across over 170 markets and lists access to more than 3,000 digital assets. Potential users should review MEXC’s terms, the list of eligible jurisdictions and consider regulatory fees and tax implications before trading.
