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

MEXC launched RealStocks on June 1, 2026, after a beta that involved more than 20,000 early users. The feature lets eligible customers buy real U.S.-listed shares using USDT through a licensed broker partner. Trading is integrated into MEXC’s existing interface and follows Nasdaq market hours.

Shares purchased through the service are held via the licensed broker partner as conventional equity positions. Where applicable, holders may receive dividends and other distributions tied to those shares.

MEXC is offering zero platform trading fees for U.S. stock spot trades during the launch period. The company noted that users may still incur regulatory and market charges, including SEC transaction fees, FINRA trading activity fees, exchange and market center fees, and clearing fees.

Access to RealStocks is limited by jurisdiction. MEXC said the service is available only to users in certain regions and advised customers to check eligibility in the platform’s terms and conditions.

To accompany the rollout, MEXC opened three limited-time campaigns. From May 28 to June 5, completing a U.S. stock spot trade and participating in the SpaceX(PRE) Season 2 Launchpad subscription can qualify users for a SpaceX(PRE) airdrop reward pool worth 200,000 USDT equivalent, capped at 5,000 USDT equivalent per user. From June 2 to June 16, users who complete trading tasks can share a $1,000,000 stock prize pool while U.S. stock spot trading is offered at zero platform fees. A third campaign offers a real-time market data subsidy for qualifying deposits made in the first month after the U.S. stock launch.

In a statement, MEXC CEO Vugar Usi stated that RealStocks moves the platform from Pre-IPO and tokenized stock offerings toward direct share ownership through U.S. stock spot trading, allowing crypto users to hold traditional financial assets within MEXC.

MEXC described RealStocks as part of its cross-asset trading ecosystem and said the company serves more than 40 million users across over 170 markets, offering access to cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets including stocks, ETFs, commodities and precious metals.

The announcement included standard investor cautions: trading involves risk, the release is not investment advice, and users should consult qualified professionals. Customers are advised to confirm jurisdictional eligibility and review applicable fees and regulatory disclosures before trading.
