MEXC Unveils RealStocks With 0-Fee U.S. Equity Trading And Real Dividends

Crypto exchange MEXC has officially launched 'RealStocks,' a product that lets eligible users trade shares in real U.S.-listed companies directly on its platform, with zero platform trading fees during the introductory period and entitlement to dividends where applicable.

The product, announced on June 1, 2026, builds on a beta phase that attracted more than 20,000 early users. Through MEXC’s licensed broker partner, Atomic Vaults — a U.S. FINRA-registered broker-dealer backed by Founders Fund and ARK Invest — users can access genuine U.S. equity market liquidity. Atomic Vaults processes over $15 billion in monthly trading volume across equities, ETFs, options, and select Asian markets, with support for fractional investing, stablecoin funding, and institutional-grade clearing.

RealStocks is integrated into MEXC’s existing interface, with transactions conducted in USDT, making the experience similar to trading cryptocurrencies. Trading hours follow Nasdaq market sessions. The company said the product bridges the gap between traditional brokerages, which often involve complex currency exchange and deposit steps, and crypto platforms offering synthetic assets that may suffer from poor liquidity or lack of dividend payouts.

To mark the launch, MEXC has rolled out three limited-time incentive campaigns:

• SpaceX(PRE) Airdrop Reward (May 28 – June 5): Users who complete a U.S. stock spot trade and subscribe to the SpaceX(PRE) Launchpad Season 2 can earn additional SpaceX(PRE) airdrops from a 200,000 USDT equivalent prize pool, capped at 5,000 USDT per user.
• $1,000,000 Stock Prize Pool (June 2 – June 16): Zero fees on U.S. stock spot trading, with trading tasks sharing a 1 million USD equivalent stock prize pool.
• Real-Time Market Data Subsidy for New Deposits: Available for the first month after launch, offering a subsidy for real-time market data to new qualifying depositors.

MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said in a statement: “From Pre-IPO access to tokenized stocks, and now to real share ownership through U.S. stock spot trading, MEXC has continuously pushed the boundaries of what crypto users can access in global markets.” He noted that the 2026 IPO wave from top technology companies gives crypto users the chance to become real shareholders for the first time.

MEXC noted that zero fees refer only to its platform service charge; users may still be subject to regulatory and clearing fees such as SEC transaction fees, FINRA trading activity fees, and other applicable charges. The service is limited to users in eligible jurisdictions.
