MEXC Reports 142% Volume Surge for MU Futures Following Record Micron Earnings Beat

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, releases its observations on equity-related futures trading activity around Micron's (MU) earnings report. Micron posted quarterly revenue of approximately $41.4 billion, significantly exceeding market expectations. Following the earnings release, capital concentrated into AI memory and storage, with notable increases in trading activity across related instruments.

Micron was the most-traded stock and equity index futures instrument on MEXC, with trading volume up approximately 142% from the previous day. SanDisk, SK hynix, and DRAM ETF also recorded volume increases of approximately 83%, 28%, and 35%, respectively. Together, these four AI memory and storage instruments accounted for 44% of the day's Top 10 equity-related futures volume, underscoring the market's heightened focus on the sector.

Beyond memory and storage, AI compute and semiconductor names such as NVIDIA and SOXL, as well as index futures including SPX500, NAS100, and US30, also maintained elevated trading activity. The momentum sparked by Micron's earnings was not confined to AI memory and storage, but extended across compute, semiconductors, and broader U.S. equity indices.

Ahead of the earnings release, thematic trading patterns were already visible on the MEXC platform. From June 22 to 24, AI memory and storage individual stocks (+28%), DRAM ETF (+92%), and SOXL (+51%) all recorded meaningful volume increases, while broad-based U.S. equity index futures declined approximately 55% over the same period. This indicates that capital was not indiscriminately going long on U.S. equities, but had already concentrated on the supply-constrained memory and storage segment ahead of the earnings announcement.

For high-profile macro or earnings events, MEXC futures trading enables users to extend trading opportunities across the full cycle of anticipation, realization, and follow-through — positioning ahead of earnings and responding or hedging immediately after results are released. MEXC offers more than a single-instrument entry point: within a unified account and USDT-margined system, users can flexibly adjust positions across single-stock futures, related supply-chain names, sector and thematic ETFs, and index futures as market themes evolve, without transferring capital between platforms. Combined with a 0-fee structure, the friction cost of switching across instruments is further reduced. Notably, the AI memory and storage sector itself spans three markets — Micron is U.S.-listed, SK hynix and Samsung are Korea-listed, and Kioxia is Japan-listed. MEXC currently covers futures across all three markets, enabling users to build positions across national markets along the same industry logic.

Beyond earnings-driven secondary market trading, MEXC also extends asset discovery to the pre-IPO stage of technology companies. SpaceX (PRE), the first instrument on the platform's Pre-IPO Launchpad, attracted cumulative subscription volume exceeding US$173 million across two rounds. Since SpaceX completed its IPO on June 12, secondary market prices reached as high as 217 USDT, approximately 67% above the subscription price. This demonstrates that from Pre-IPO subscription through secondary market trading, the entire process offers continuous and sufficient liquidity. Through MEXC, users can participate across different stages of a single core asset on one platform.

As market trading demand becomes increasingly cross-asset and cross-regional, MEXC bridges Pre-IPO, secondary market, and futures trading, connecting globally sought-after instruments to offer users a one-stop U.S. equity trading platform. Going forward, MEXC will continue to identify high-quality assets, enabling global users to capture unlimited opportunities with minimal friction and maximum capital efficiency.

STARTRADER takes Dubai's bias for action and makes it the standard it holds itself to.

DUBAI, UAE, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dubai has always been a city that trades. Centuries ago, merchants lined the Creek with pearls, gold, and spices, exchanging goods for nothing more than reputation and trust. The commodity changed hands, but not the principle. Today, traders execute positions in milliseconds, and a single app provides access to 1000+ global financial instruments.

To STARTRADER-it is to take Dubai's trading instinct and bring it into one of the world's most sophisticated financial environments. STARTRADER demonstrates this through regulation across five jurisdictions, fully automated account opening, and a 280% year-on-year increase in new account openings during Q1 2026.

Founded in 2019, STARTRADER has grown steadily into a global multi-asset broker. The company is licensed by five regulators (CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA, and FSC), supported by a global team of approximately 1,000 employees, and recognised with 30+ industry awards.

For traders, those achievements translate into a better experience. Automated onboarding removes friction from opening an account, while regulation, technology, and industry recognition provide the confidence traders look for when choosing a broker. It reflects the company's positioning: Built on Trust. Driven by Growth.

As Dubai strengthens its role as a global financial centre, competition among brokers is no longer defined by market access alone. Trust, execution, and consistency increasingly determine where traders choose to open an account and build long-term relationships.

"A new verb is easy to say and hard to earn. Five regulators, fully automated onboarding, and 280% more clients in one quarter—that is what STARTRADER-it means. In Dubai, ambition is measured by what you deliver. That is the standard we hold ourselves to."
Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER

STARTRADER's next phase builds on this foundation, bringing the same standard of execution, trust, and innovation to every new market and every new client.
