VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, the fastest–growing global cryptocurrency exchange redefining a user–first approach to digital assets through true zero–fee trading, today published its February 2026 platform performance highlights, pointing to strong momentum in AI and infrastructure tokens and the introduction of a new downside protection mechanism for Launchpad participants.
In February, MEXC's top 10 newly listed tokens by spot trading volume averaged a peak gain of 1,367%. AI and infrastructure projects were well represented: POWERAI (+1,778%), PSAI (+1,695%), TONIXAI (+1,616%), and ESP(+1,025%) led the volume rankings, with privacy computing tokens ZAMA and AZTEC and DeFi protocol ECHELON(+930%) rounding out a list that skewed heavily toward technical and infrastructure assets.
Beyond the volume leaders, the highest-gain list reflected genuine market breadth: MEME (PUNCH, +4,980%), CreatorFi (CRTR, +940%), DeFi (ECHELON, +930% and UP, +900%), DePIN + Robotics (ROBO, +869%), and privacy computing (AZTEC, +700%). Users with exposure across these categories found February's newly listed tokens among the most active on the market.
Across both lists, ETH-based projects were most represented, led by infrastructure and privacy assets. BSC accounted for multiple AI-related listings, while BASE, Aptos, and SOL each contributed standout performers.
February also marked the debut of MEXC's Loss Protection mechanism on Launchpad — a refund guarantee triggered automatically if a newly listed token falls below its listing price shifting the downside risk from user to exchange. The month drew over 21,000 Launchpad participants with subscriptions exceeding 3.13 million USDT.
Alongside Launchpad, MEXC's broader rewards ecosystem continued to scale — Airdrop+ events reached more than 11,700 participants with a combined prize pool exceeding 1 million USDT, while a Spin & Win event for HYPE distributed an additional 200,000 USDT in prizes.
With AI-related assets and real-world infrastructure projects driving notable market activity, MEXC's focus in the months ahead remains on expanding its listing coverage and reinforcing the structural protections that define its user-first model.

HONG KONG, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anchors Academy, one of Hong Kong's premier private Kindergarten and Primary schools, proudly announces a major expansion of its educational offering with the extension to Junior Secondary for Years 7 to 9* (subject to Education Bureau registration and approval). The school also formed a strategic partnership with the UK's historic St Bees School to co-establish St Bees (Anchors) Sixth Form College* in Hong Kong. These pivotal developments formally complete a K-12, 15-year seamless educational pathway for children aged 2 to 18, enabling students to progress from kindergarten through to Primary and Secondary graduation within one coherent educational ecosystem.
Future-focused Junior Secondary (Year 7 to 9) - a Commitment to Continuous, Innovative Education
The Junior Secondary curriculum will be an integral part of the Anchors educational experience, continuing our unique blend of the Hong Kong curriculum and an international framework of the UK National Curriculum (Key Stage 3) while employing innovative teaching methodologies. By incorporating STEAM and future-ready skills, the curriculum ensures students develop mastery of interdisciplinary learnings and well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
"The launch of our Junior Secondary division is one critical piece in realising our long-held vision to be a true through-train school," said Ms. Carmen Choi, Executive Director and School Manager of Anchors International Education Group and Anchors Academy. "It allows us to guide and nurture students within one consistent, innovative learning community from their earliest years all the way to university preparation. We are building on our proven primary school foundation to create a secondary education experience that is both academically rigorous and future-proof."
Anchors Academy is purpose-designing a dedicated learning environment within its Yuen Long campus. The development includes refurbishing facilities to create science laboratory, ICT suite, and flexible learning spaces that encourage collaboration and hands-on project work.
St Bees (Anchors) Sixth Form College Hong Kong: Hong Kong-Led, UK-Proven Curriculum for Senior Secondary (Year 10 to 13), where Academic Excellence meets Innovation
Anchors Academy has entered into a strategic partnership with the historic St Bees School UK (founded in 1583) to establish St Bees (Anchors) Sixth Form College*, located in West Kowloon, Hong Kong.
St Bees brings a distinguished heritage of academic excellence, with a proven track record of graduates from its UK and China campuses gaining admission to top-tier universities worldwide, including the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, King's College London, University of Manchester, University of Hong Kong, University of Toronto, University of New South Wales, and many others.
Building on the strong foundation laid at Anchors Academy, the Sixth Form College adopts a student-centred approach with flexible teaching methodologies. Students may choose between the international stream, leading to IGCSE and GCE A-levels/ iAL qualifications, or the local stream, preparing for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination. The onboarding of former Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University in the School Board will ensure the school stays aligned with the highest standard possible. Students will have sample lectures embedded in their curriculum to allow in-depth understanding of university courses from top universities. Some of these courses will be provided by Cambridge or Oxford professors to give the most intriguing and rewarding experience to our students.
All Year 9 Anchors Academy students will progress to St Bees (Anchors) Sixth Form College upon completion of their junior secondary.
Mr. Danny Wang, Vice Chairman of St Bees School, commented: "We are delighted to be partnering with Anchors Academy to bring a St Bees-inspired education to Hong Kong. Our shared commitment to academic rigour, character development, and innovative teaching makes this a natural alliance. We look forward to the development of school that will stand as a beacon of British-style international education in Asia."
Further details regarding St Bees (Anchors) Sixth Form College's curriculum and admission will be announced separately.
