Victoria, Seychelles, June 12, 2026, Chainwire
MEXCa pioneer in zero-fee digital asset trading, has published its May 2026 Trading Highlights report. Crypto-native users have been aggressively moving into traditional asset exposure throughout the month. US Stock Futures Volume Soared 85% SPACEX(PRE) launch pad reached a record-breaking oversubscription of 15.5x, and new token spot trading volume per user grew by 36% as capital rotated from Meme assets to RWA and AI infrastructure.
Users concentrated their capital primarily in two sectors: RWA and AI infrastructure, shifting from April’s Meme-heavy volume mix. RWA attracted the most capital. Three projects from the sector made it into the spot volume top 10. SLX (+535%) builds institutional return infrastructure, PART (+341%) symbolizes real cash flows, and KAIO (+1,400%) handles the issuance of tokenized funds, so each fund offers a different route to the same trend.
AI agents now sign transactions and write code on-chain, and the market wants infrastructure that verifies the identity behind an action and the consent associated with it. BILL (+4,636%) verifies the identity of AI agents and humans with privacy protections, and GITLAWB (+880%) manages permissions for AI agents in code collaboration.
The top 10 new tokens by spot volume averaged a peak gain of 1.514%, and the top 10 gainers averaged 1.559%. Nine names appeared on both lists, so the most traded assets were also the ones that reached the highest multiples. QAIT led the month with +4,760%, followed by BILL.
The same concentration was transferred to TradFi Futureswhere volume grew 21% month-on-month, with US stocks and stock indices the clearest direction of growth.
US stock futures volume rose 85%, and stock index futures volume rose 134% after MEXC expanded its US stock offering from 100 contracts to 120. Gold retained the top spot in the volume table, silver volume rose 143% and the new money went into AI semiconductors and technology names, with MU (+1,002%), NVIDIA, TESLA, SPX500 and NAS100 all in the list. future top 10.
SPACEX(PRE) turned demand for US equities into a record. The Launchpad event attracted over 38,000 participants and over 56 million USDT in subscriptions, more than 5x the previous all-time high. Users want exposure to US stocks in every form that MEXC offers, from pre-IPO participation and price exposure to futures and real stock ownership through RealStocks.
“The lines between crypto and traditional finance are quickly disappearing, and May’s data clearly shows where user demand is heading,” said Vugar Usi, CEO of Mexico. “Crypto-native investors want access to US stocks, indices and pre-IPO opportunities in addition to their digital assets. A 15.5x oversubscription to SpaceX and an 85% increase in US stock futures volume point to the same trend: users are looking for broader access to wealth-building opportunities. Our job is to make these opportunities available on a single platform as demand continues to grow.”
On the promotional side, Launchpool has added a trading pool that pays out rewards via futures trading with no wagering requirement. The NEX pool offered a 10 billion NEX prize pool with a new user APR of 286%, and the KSKD pool achieved a new user APR of 715%. Airdrop+ hosted 12 events with over 371,000 participants and a prize pool of over 500,000 USDT.
