Crypto exchange MEXC on Thursday published its June TradFi data, saying stock and index futures trading volume rose about 261% month over month while tradable underlying assets climbed above 210, up roughly 48% from May.
The sharpest driver was SpaceX. MEXC said SPCX became its highest-volume single-stock futures contract of the month, with volume rising more than 145 times versus May. The surge came as multiple crypto venues launched SpaceX-linked products ahead of the company’s listing.
Outside SpaceX, seven of the top ten futures contracts were AI infrastructure names spanning GPUs, memory, and data-center networking. SK Hynix futures volume rose about 1,948% month over month and Arm climbed about 350%. SPX500 index futures grew roughly 103%.
The numbers follow a strong May print and sit inside a broader product push. MEXC launched RealStocks on June 1, offering eligible users access to real U.S.-listed shares through a licensed broker partner, settled in USDT within the same interface. The company said the beta had more than 20,000 users.
MEXC is positioning a single USDT-funded account as a bridge between pre-IPO access, futures, tokenized stocks, and real equity ownership.
