Beyond leading in new contract listings, MEXC also ranked among the top four exchanges globally in open interest market share and established itself as a key participant in global perpetual trading volume.
Leading the Industry in New Perpetual Contract Listings
According to CoinGecko's report, from January 2025 to April 2026, MEXC listed the most new perpetual contracts among major centralized exchanges, listing 879 contracts in total, approximately 55 per month on average.

MEXC's high-frequency listing strategy focuses on long-tail crypto assets, including meme tokens and AI-related tokens, reflecting MEXC's commitment to giving users early access to emerging opportunities.
Standing as a Major Participant in Global Perpetual Trading Volume
In terms of perpetual trading volume, despite a 34% decline in overall monthly average trading volume, falling from $7.11 trillion in 2025 to $4.69 trillion in the first four months of 2026, MEXC maintained a 16% market share, ranking No. 3 among the top 11 perpetual centralized exchanges as of April 2026.
Ranking No. 4 Globally in Open Interest Market Share
As of April 2026, MEXC held an 11.4% open interest (OI) market share among the top 11 centralized perpetual exchanges, ranking No. 4 globally. This reflects a significant number of users holding open positions on the platform.

Recognized by CoinGecko's industry report, MEXC reaffirms its position as a forward-looking trading platform dedicated to serving users across diverse trading strategies and preferences. This report speaks to something deeper than growth, reflecting MEXC's long-held belief that opportunities should be open to everyone. With rapid token listings, extensive asset selection, industry-leading liquidity, and a "0 Fee" model, MEXC has become the go-to trading platform for a growing number of users worldwide.
Recently, MEXC launched "RealStocks", bringing real dividends and 0-Fee U.S. equity trading to crypto users.

The First Time a Game in the Legendary Franchise Comes to Consoles
BELLEVUE, Wash., June 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Critically-acclaimed game development studio ArenaNet® tonight announced Guild Wars 3™, the third entry in the legendary and beloved Guild Wars® MMORPG franchise and their first new game since 2012. The game will release globally on PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5, marking the first time a Guild Wars game will appear on home consoles. The first beta test is scheduled for fall of 2027.
The official debut trailer features the first in-engine gameplay footage and can be viewed HERE. The first concept art and other assets are hosted at the Guild Wars 3 official press kit.
"Guild Wars 3 is a new era not just for ArenaNet and Guild Wars, but also for MMORPGs as a whole," said Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 3 Game Director and ArenaNet Studio Head. "The MMORPG genre has millions of players worldwide eager for new, modern experiences, and the opportunity to harness that excitement is immense. Our approach with Guild Wars 3 is to push MMORPGs forward, to create an online game world that feels believable, rewarding, responsive, and innovative while at the same time respecting players' time and providing a positive, supportive space to build community and enjoy new stories in our universe."
Taking place over a thousand years before the events of the original game, Guild Wars 3 is set in the Tyrian region of Orr, a vast wilderness frontier imbued with the world's magic. Nature entities with strong connections to the land called Vael spirits embody the vitality of this lush, verdant landscape. Various guilds are engaged in conflict over how to protect or exploit the bounty beyond civilization's borders. These multitudinous spirits will vary in size and influence within the ecosystems around them, with the most notable of these being the Seeker. As seen in the trailer, every player's Seeker will serve as a connection to the spirits of Orr and a mount that will carry them on their journeys through the game's open world.
Players will assume the role of a Vaelwarden, a member of a guild of adventurers committed to preserving and protecting both the spirits of the wild and the land of Orr itself. Through the deep character customization and skill-building gameplay the Guild Wars franchise is known for, players will seek adventure and confront danger across this sumptuous, vibrant online world, growing their relationships with the spirits of the wild, the inhabitants of Orr, and other Vaelwarden players.
A combat system designed from the outset to feel great on both a controller and keyboard rewards positioning by emphasizing the joy of movement and momentum. As players seamlessly transition between various movement modes, they can harness their speed and turn it into bigger damage and impact when fighting their foes.
More information about pricing, beta tests, release date, and gameplay features will be revealed later in 2026 and into 2027. Guild Wars 3 will be available directly from the developers at GuildWars3.com, and can be wishlisted on Steam and the PlayStation Store beginning today, with more information available at the game's official website.
