MEXC Launches Opportunity Compass as 53.7% of Crypto Users Move Into Stocks but Knowledge Gaps Remain

Five-season program brings together industry partners to help crypto-native users better understand global markets, asset classes and emerging financial opportunities

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today officially launched Opportunity Compass, a global markets education initiative aimed at advancing the market understanding as crypto and traditional finance become increasingly connected. Guided by the core message, "Know the Market, Know Your Opportunities," the initiative is designed to help crypto-native users build a more systematic understanding of traditional and crypto markets while bringing together perspectives from across the broader financial and digital asset ecosystem.

The initiative comes as crypto users increasingly look beyond digital assets. Recent research from MEXC and CoinGecko found that trading volumes for traditional financial assets on crypto exchanges reached $1.45 trillion in the first half of 2026, nearly 10 times the total recorded for all of 2025.

Key findings from MEXC's user survey include:

• 53.7% of respondents have already invested in stocks, showing that stock investing is becoming increasingly relevant to crypto-native users.
• Among users who have not used stock investment products, 43.1% cited insufficient investment knowledge as a key barrier.
• Among users who previously used stock products but stopped, 48.3% said limited investment knowledge was one of the reasons they discontinued participation.
• Among current stock investors, 44% said individual stock price movements influenced their participation, while 34% pointed to the AI boom as a key driver.

The findings suggest that access is expanding faster than understanding. As crypto-native users move across stocks, ETFs, commodities and digital assets, many are still developing the knowledge needed to understand market cycles, industry trends, asset behavior and investment risk. Greater access to financial opportunities therefore creates a growing need for more structured market education.

"Finding opportunities is important. What matters even more is having a systematic way to understand, evaluate and act on them," said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. "As financial markets become more connected and users gain exposure to a wider range of assets, they need more than access alone. Opportunity Compass is designed to help users understand what drives different markets, evaluate opportunities and risks, and ultimately build their own framework for navigating a more complex financial landscape."

Building Market Education with Industry Participants

Opportunity Compass is designed not only as an MEXC education program, but as a broader industry education initiative that brings together perspectives from across the evolving financial ecosystem. The group of participating partners includes xStocks by PAYWARD, Plume, Tether, Pyth, Optimism, CMT Digital and RootData, representing different parts of the digital asset and financial ecosystem.

With participation from industry partners alongside MEXC's educational content, Opportunity Compass aims to connect foundational market knowledge with broader industry perspectives, helping users better understand both established markets and the emerging models shaping the evolution of global finance.

Featuring five seasons and 30 episodes, Opportunity Compass takes users from understanding global markets and major asset classes to interpreting macroeconomic and industry trends, exploring emerging financial models and evaluating market opportunities. Rather than focusing on individual products or investment recommendations, the program aims to help users understand how markets work and what drives opportunities and risks.

From Seeing Opportunities to Understanding Markets

• Season 1: See the Global Opportunities. Understand the broader global financial market landscape and how different markets connect.
• Season 2: Understand Asset Value. Explore what gives stocks, gold, commodities, ETFs, Bitcoin and other assets value.
• Season 3: Decode Market Trends. Understand how interest rates, inflation, market cycles, earnings and industry trends such as AI and semiconductors shape markets.
• Season 4: Explore Emerging Opportunities. Explore tokenized assets, real-world assets, prediction markets and other emerging financial models at the intersection of crypto and traditional finance.
• Season 5: Become an Opportunity Explorer. Build an independent framework for understanding markets, evaluating opportunities and assessing risk.

Opportunity Compass will roll out progressively from September through December 2026, with new episodes released regularly across all five seasons through a dedicated Opportunity Compass education hub.

Extending MEXC's Infinite Opportunities philosophy into education, Opportunity Compass aims to help users not only discover more financial opportunities, but also develop the knowledge needed to understand and evaluate them more independently.

MEXC Launches Opportunity Compass as 53.7% of Crypto Users Move Into Stocks but Knowledge Gaps Remain

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd. ("GCL SI") will present EcoPower Mate for the first time in Indonesia at Oil & Gas Indonesia 2026, taking place Sept. 9–12 at the Jakarta International Expo.

Designed for temporary and remote industrial worksites, EcoPower Mate is a relocatable solar power platform that can be integrated with battery energy storage, energy management systems and diesel generators. At Booth 6521 in Hall 3, GCL SI will demonstrate how the system can serve exploration sites, temporary camps, construction areas and other operations with limited access to the power grid.

Power That Moves with the Operation

Remote oil, gas and mining projects often depend on diesel generators for reliable power. However, diesel generation also requires fuel transportation and storage, regular maintenance and the management of noise and local emissions. These challenges become more complex as project teams and power demand shift from one worksite to another.

Conventional solar installations are generally built as permanent infrastructure. EcoPower Mate takes a different approach: its photovoltaic array can be transported in a container-compatible format, deployed close to the load and relocated as operational requirements change.

The portfolio includes wheeled and rail-mounted configurations. The wheeled WG20-A model incorporates 96 photovoltaic modules, provides 46.56 kWp of installed capacity and features an automated deployment mechanism for sites requiring frequent relocation. The rail-mounted model is intended for larger installations and projects that remain at one location for longer periods.

System configurations can be tailored to a project's terrain, duration, relocation frequency, site-preparation requirements and other operating conditions.

Integrating Solar, Storage and Diesel Generation

EcoPower Mate is designed to complement—not necessarily replace—the diesel generators used at remote sites. It can integrate solar generation, battery storage and existing generators within a coordinated hybrid power system.

Under suitable daylight conditions, the solar array can supply site loads and charge the battery system. Stored energy can help meet demand when solar output declines, while diesel generators remain available during periods of higher demand or when additional backup power is needed.

An energy management system coordinates the available power sources to reduce unnecessary generator runtime while maintaining reliable site operations.

Each system can be configured around the site's load profile, existing generator capacity, solar resources, project duration and relocation requirements. This allows operators to introduce solar generation and battery storage while retaining their existing power infrastructure.

Potential oil and gas applications include shore bases, exploration and construction support areas, temporary offices, personnel camps, communications equipment, monitoring systems and lighting. Any deployment would be subject to the site's electrical specifications, safety requirements and hazardous-area classification.

In the mining sector, EcoPower Mate can supply exploration camps, drilling operations, temporary mine facilities, road construction, surveillance equipment and other loads that move as a project develops.

Building Partnerships to Address Local Operating Challenges

At Oil & Gas Indonesia 2026, GCL SI plans to meet with Indonesian operators to learn more about their power requirements and explore potential cooperation with mining companies, engineering, procurement and construction contractors, oilfield and mining service providers, equipment rental companies, distributors and local technical partners.

Discussions will focus on practical operating considerations, including generator usage, load profiles, fuel logistics, project duration, site conditions and relocation requirements. Based on each project's needs, GCL SI will work with customers and partners to develop suitable combinations of solar generation, battery storage and diesel backup.

GCL SI's capabilities span market development, equipment delivery, system integration, technical services and after-sales services. The company is seeking to work with Indonesian operators, contractors, distributors and service providers to adapt EcoPower Mate configurations to local project conditions and provide reliable project execution and long-term service in the country.

"Remote operations cannot compromise power reliability, but that does not mean every load must be supplied by a diesel generator at all times," said Li Ming, Vice President of GCL SI. "By bringing EcoPower Mate to Indonesia for an in-person demonstration, we hope to engage directly with local operators, better understand their specific power challenges and work with customers and partners to develop practical solutions."

Visitors are invited to meet the GCL SI team to discuss their site requirements and potential partnership opportunities.
