Overview
- MEXC officially launched RealStocks on Monday, June 1, 2026, allowing eligible users to buy and hold real NYSE and NASDAQ shares inside the MEXC trading interface with trades settled in the stablecoin USDT.
- The company says shares are held through a licensed broker partner and that buyers receive dividends and shareholder rights, but MEXC has not named the broker or described the custody chain.
- Trades run on Nasdaq market hours and MEXC is waiving its platform trading fee for the launch period while users remain liable for SEC, FINRA, exchange, clearing, and other regulatory charges.
- MEXC ran a beta that attracted more than 20,000 users and is using promotional campaigns, including a SpaceX(PRE) airdrop and a $1,000,000 stock prize pool, to drive adoption from its global user base.
- The launch marks a shift from tokenized or synthetic stock products toward broker-routed real-share access on crypto platforms and revives regulatory and operational questions flagged by past warnings about unlicensed activity and disclosure gaps.
