Bitcoin News Today: MEXC Lists 580 New Tokens, Sees 9,100% Gains, User Base Surpasses 40 Million

MEXC, a prominent global cryptocurrency exchange, has released its Q2 2025 performance report, highlighting significant growth in new token listings, user acquisition, ecosystem investments, and platform security. The quarter saw a resurgence in the broader crypto market, driven by renewed interest in meme coins, AI projects, and multi-chain ecosystems.

During the second quarter, MEXC listed 580 new tokens, several of which delivered substantial returns. Notable performers included the Ethereum-based ZK infrastructure token LA, which saw a peak gain of over 9,100%, and Solana-based meme coins MOONPIG and GORK. Infrastructure and AI projects such as FHE, INIT, and KERNEL also garnered significant interest and trading volume. The top 10 newly listed tokens achieved an average peak return of over 3,600%.

MEXC's registered user base surpassed 40 million globally, reflecting increased adoption in both developed and emerging markets. This milestone coincided with the launch of a $300 million Ecosystem Development Fund and a $30 million CSR initiative, IgniteX, aimed at fostering blockchain innovation through education, early-stage support, and technical grants.

Shawn Young, Chief Analyst at MEXC, commented, “The second quarter of 2025 demonstrated that investor appetite for high-growth narratives remains strong. We’ve seen momentum shift toward infrastructure, Bitcoin-native DeFi, and memecoins with active communities. Our focus remains on accessibility, innovation, and user protection.”

Security remained a top priority for MEXC. In June, the exchange launched the $100 Million Guardian Fund to provide immediate user compensation in the event of verified security incidents. MEXC reported a BTC reserve ratio of 127.59%, supported by over 4,080 BTC in custody. Additionally, its Futures Insurance Fund surpassed $559 million in cumulative payouts.

MEXC expanded its product offerings by launching a new hybrid CEX–DEX platform called DEX+ and introducing an upgraded Launchpad system, which featured seven token sales in its first month. Participation exceeded 118,000 users, with several projects posting gains of 8–9x post-listing. The Airdrop+ initiative also scaled rapidly, with 146 campaigns launched and over 230,000 participants recorded.

Strategic partnerships were crucial in Q2. A major collaboration with the TON blockchain included a $1 million campaign that generated $6.6 billion in trading volume and attracted over 110,000 participants. MEXC also hosted and participated in industry events across Dubai, Korea, and Monaco.

Looking ahead, MEXC plans to deepen its focus on infrastructure, ecosystem growth, and security standards, as well as expand support for new user onboarding initiatives in underbanked regions. The company aims to launch further products and community activations in Q3 and Q4.
