VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CoinGecko has released its Spot CEX Report 2026, offering a comprehensive analysis of 12 leading centralized exchanges across multiple dimensions, including spot trading volume, market share trends, token listings, and reserve holdings. The report highlights that MEXC, the world leader in 0‑fee digital asset trading, increased its spot market share from 5% to 9% over the past two years—nearly doubling its position. Concurrently, MEXC ranked first among all major exchanges with 1,333 new token listings over the past year, demonstrating formidable competitive advantages in both asset coverage and trading activity.
Market Share Doubles as Trading Volume Remains Among Top Leaders
According to CoinGecko data, MEXC's market share surged from 5% at the beginning of 2024 to 9% in 2026, firmly cementing the platform's status among the world's leading exchanges. Furthermore, MEXC recorded $95.9 billion in spot trading volume in February 2026, officially securing its position as the second-largest exchange globally in this category.
Leading the Industry in Asset Discovery and New Token Listings
Outpacing major competitors, MEXC ranks first in new token listings among the 12 centralized exchanges covered in the report. Since January 2025, the exchange has listed 1,333 new spot tokens, sustaining an onboarding rate of approximately 100 new assets per month.
To contextualize this scale, CoinGecko tracked 7,847 newly launched tokens across the broader market during this period. By listing approximately 17% of all newly created tokens, MEXC's listing velocity aggressively outperforms the industry baseline, where most major competitors capture less than 5%. This performance demonstrates the operational superiority of MEXC's listing infrastructure. The platform remains structurally engineered to offer the broadest asset coverage, ensuring users can capitalize on early-stage projects ahead of the wider market.
0 Fees Combined With Broad Asset Selection Drive Continued User Growth
Among the 12 centralized exchanges analyzed, MEXC maintains the industry's lowest baseline trading costs, enforcing a 0.00% maker fee and a 0.10% taker fee. By contrast, competing major platforms mandate baseline fees of 0.10% or higher, with some exacting up to 0.50%.
MEXC's 0-fee strategy has become a core driver of its sustained trading volume growth, helping millions of users worldwide save significantly on trading costs. Combined with 2,350 listed assets, this fee advantage has made MEXC a preferred platform for traders seeking both cost efficiency and broad asset diversity.
274.6% Reserve Expansion and 101M USDT Guardian Fund Anchor Platform Security
The CoinGecko report also highlights substantial changes in exchange reserves. Between January 2024 and February 2026, MEXC's reserve value grew by 274.6%, reflecting accelerated institutional and retail capital inflows. Supporting this scale is the MEXC Guardian Fund, deployed in June 2025. Capitalized with over 100 million USDT, the fund establishes a structural defense against cybersecurity threats and technical disruptions.
Executing the Next Era of Global Leadership As MEXC reaches its eight-year milestone, the metrics confirmed by CoinGecko validate the exchange's market dominance. Rather than resting on legacy achievements, MEXC is actively deploying its resources to upgrade its core trading engine, maintain its zero-fee advantage, and expand its global market share in the upcoming growth cycle.

MEXC Doubles Market Share to 9% in Two Years, CoinGecko Reports
MEXC Doubles Market Share to 9% in Two Years, CoinGecko Reports
- HKEX launches the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index and the HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index
- These mark the latest development in HKEX's index strategy, expanding its proprietary and co‑branded benchmark offerings
- HKEX enters licensing agreements with 5 issuers to develop ETFs in Hong Kong tracking the two new benchmarks
HONG KONG, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) is pleased to announce today (Monday) the expansion of its index portfolio with the introduction of two technology‑focused benchmarks: the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index and the HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index.
As the first co‑branded index between HKEX and Korea Exchange (KRX), the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index provides cross‑market exposure to Hong Kong‑listed semiconductor companies eligible for Southbound Stock Connect and to leading South Korean semiconductor names, represented by constituents of the KRX Semiconductor Top 15 Index.
The HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index tracks the performance of all constituents of the HKEX Tech 100 Index and the 100 largest Nasdaq‑listed technology companies by market capitalisation, including the Magnificent Seven.
With weightings of approximately 60 per cent for Stock Connect-eligible Hong Kong-listed companies and 40 per cent in overseas-listed companies, the indices are designed to support the development of exchange traded funds (ETFs) and to be eligible for inclusion under Southbound ETF Connect — enabling investors in the Chinese Mainland to access more diversified cross-market exposure.
HKEX is also pleased to announce it has entered into licensing agreements with Bosera Asset Management (International), Da Cheng International Asset Management, E Fund Management (Hong Kong), GF International Investment Management, and Huatai-PCG Asset Management, for the introduction of ETFs based on the two newly-launched indices in Hong Kong, subject to regulatory approval.
HKEX Chief Executive Officer, Bonnie Y Chan, said: "We are delighted to announce the launch of these exciting additions to HKEX's index suite, part of our strategic commitment to building an exchange‑led index ecosystem that supports product innovation and market development. By expanding our proprietary and co‑branded benchmark offering, along with its strong focus on technology opportunities, we aim to create a liquidity flywheel—broadening the universe for index‑linked products, deepening market participation and enhancing vibrancy across both the primary and secondary markets."
"We also warmly welcome the licensing agreements with Bosera International, Da Cheng International, E Fund HK, GF International, and Huatai-PCG to launch ETFs based on these new indices, underscoring our deep collaboration with the industry and our focus on developing indices that are fit for purpose, meeting the needs of our regional and international investors," Ms Chan added.
As Hong Kong welcomes even more technology companies across different industries to list on its vibrant markets, investor demand for related products is becoming increasingly diverse. These new benchmarks are designed to reflect that evolution, offering targeted and diversified exposure to global and regional technology themes, whilst supporting the development of products tailored to different investment strategies and risk appetites.
Index methodology and additional information about the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index and the HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index are available on the HKEX website.
