VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, the world leader in 0‑fee digital asset trading, has published its Q1 2026 TradFi Futures report. Geopolitical tensions and safe-haven demand pushed traders toward precious metals and energy contracts throughout the quarter. MEXC TradFi absorbed that demand with record volume, a rapidly expanded instrument lineup, and order book depth that ranked first in the industry.
MEXC TradFi finished Q1 ranked second for gold futures among major crypto platforms, and third in both silver and crude oil. The gap with the market leader narrowed through the quarter, and silver's month-over-month growth in March was the fastest of any comparable platform.
Those positions came down to order book depth. MEXC ranked first among 7 major platforms in gold depth at the top 5 levels, which meant less slippage and lower true cost on large trades even during the most volatile sessions.
Total volume in February surged 138% over January, and March extended the run with a further 45% gain. Monthly active traders grew 58% cumulatively over the period. The number of available instruments grew 62% quarter-over-quarter and now spans precious metals, energy, US stocks, global indices, forex, and ETFs.
XAUT and SILVER ranked first and second among all TradFi Futures and together accounted for over 90% of top-10 volume. PAXG placed fifth and further confirmed strong user preference for on-chain precious metal exposure.
Escalation in the Middle East through late February and into March triggered sharp volatility across oil and gold markets. Single-day volume hit its quarterly peak on March 3.
The same macro conditions validated MEXC's decision to launch USOIL (WTI) and UKOIL (Brent) perpetual futures on January 30, ahead of the inflection point. Both instruments climbed to third and fourth place within two months and together captured a 15.3% market share in Q1.
"Gold and oil volatility created a window of opportunity and lucrative entry points for those who are prepared," said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. "We positioned ourselves ahead of the curve with the right instruments, deep liquidity ready to execute large orders, and a frictionless fee model that empowers decisive action. As we move through the first half of 2026, our focus is clear to expand access, broaden our asset universe, and continue turning market shifts into opportunities for our users."
The full report, with detailed breakdowns of volume structure, market share, and liquidity benchmarks, is available here.

MEXC Secures World's #1 Gold Order Book Depth in Q1 2026
Driven by Deep R&D Investment and User-Centric Engineering, the Company Reinforces Its Global Leadership in Micromobility with A New Milestone Achieved
BEIJING, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Segway, a global leader in personal mobility and service robotics, today announced that cumulative global sales of its Ninebot E2 series electric kickscooters have surpassed one million units [1], solidifying its position in the entry-level electric kick scooter segment.
This achievement reflects a broader shift in urban mobility patterns. Electric scooters are increasingly becoming a preferred solution to short-distance commuting for an expanding audience. For three consecutive years (2023-2025), Segway has ranked as the Global No. 1 brand in electric kickscooter sales [2]. With over 15 million units shipped worldwide, the Company has cemented its leadership in the expanding micromobility market [3].
Designed for First-Time Riders, Built for Everyday Mobility
The Segway Ninebot E2 series was developed based on extensive user insights, with a particular focus on the needs of new riders entering the micromobility ecosystem. The product prioritizes accessibility and rider confidence, featuring a compact, portable design, a lightweight yet durable frame, and stable handling for improved control.
Building on these insights, Segway has introduced the next-generation Ninebot E3 Series, engineered to address a broader range of urban commuting scenarios. Key upgrades include a more powerful powertrain for improved hill-climbing performance and extended range; a lightweight aluminum-magnesium frame with a quick-folding mechanism for enhanced portability; and a self-developed dual-elastomer suspension designed to reduce road vibrations—effectively delivering a more comfortable, stable, and intuitive riding experience.
Integrated Innovation System Driving Continuous Product Evolution
Segway's product development is powered by an Integrated Product Development (IPD) framework that integrates research and development, design, manufacturing, and dynamic user feedback. The Company employs over 2,000 engineers and continues to invest heavily in product and technology innovation, with R&D funding reaching USD 174 million in 2025—a significant 51% year-on-year increase [4].
These proprietary technology platforms encompass the SegRide™ Riding Safety and Smart Assist Technologies, SegRange™ High-Efficiency Long-Range Technologies, and SegSmart™ Smart Interaction Technologies, which form the core of its electric scooter portfolio's technology. Further innovations, such as TurboTuned™ for e-bike battery efficiency and motor performance optimization and Self-Balancing Technology 2.0 for e-mopeds balance assistance, also reinforce the Company's multi-category technology leadership.
In 2025, Segway also obtained witness laboratory accreditation from TÜV Rheinland and Bureau Veritas, enabling selected certification tests to be completed in Segway's internal laboratory.
Strong Financial Performance Reflects Market Validation
Segway's user-focused strategy has yielded significant commercial returns, reporting revenue of USD 2.98 billion in 2025—a 49.9% year-over-year increase [5]. This growth underscores robust market demand and the success of its business strategy. In the same year, Segway sold more than 5.55 million vehicles globally across multiple product categories, including e-scooters, e-bikes and e-mopeds [6].
Expanding Global Presence and Long-Term Vision
Today, Segway's products empower riders across over 160 countries and regions. As the micromobility market continues to evolve, the Company's sustained leadership hinges on its dedication to user value and its vision of green, and smart mobility for all.
Guided by this vision, Segway aims to bring innovative personal transportation to one billion people worldwide, solidifying its long-term commitment to sustainable mobility.
