Crypto exchange MEXC has launched an Airdrop+ campaign tied to the listing of Genius (GENIUS), offering a total of 45,000 USDT in rewards across four activity categories, according to the exchange.
The event runs from Apr 14, 2026 at 14:00 UTC to Apr 28, 2026 at 14:00 UTC.
The 45,000 USDT pool is split across deposits, spot trading, futures trading, and referrals. The largest allocation, 24,000 USDT, is a deposit-and-share pool reserved for new users. A further 15,000 USDT in USDT Futures Bonus is also limited to new accounts.
The remaining 6,000 USDT is open to all users: 3,000 USDT for a spot trading challenge and 3,000 USDT for an invite-and-earn referral program.
39,000 USDT of the 45,000 USDT total is tied to new-user acquisition through deposit and futures incentives. The announcement does not detail the exact distribution formula within each pool.
What is Genius?
Genius is described by MEXC News and CoinLaunch as a non-custodial onchain trading terminal that supports spot, perpetuals, and yield products across multiple blockchains from a single interface. The project reportedly raised over $6 million in private rounds, with backers including Ava Labs.
MEXC’s notice includes standard risk warnings that blockchain startup projects carry operational, technology, and regulatory risk, and that the exchange does not compensate investment losses.
The campaign arrives during a broader April launch window for the Genius token, with MEXC using activity-based reward buckets to push account funding, trading volume, futures onboarding, and referrals simultaneously around the listing.
