MEXC announced an upgrade to its Futures Earn offering, aimed at improving the experience for retail traders who wish to earn interest on eligible futures account balances while continuing to trade.
Key Improvements
The upgrade introduces three main enhancements:
- Visualized Reward Rules: Diagrams now illustrate the logic behind reward calculations.
- Scenario‑Based Guidance: In‑context prompts guide users through activation, deposit, and interest‑earning stages.
- Earnings Calculator: A tool lets users adjust parameters to estimate potential earnings before using the product.
Interest Structure
Futures Earn allows eligible balances to generate interest automatically. The product supports USDT‑ and USDE‑margined futures pairs without a minimum trading volume or fixed end date. USDT‑margined pairs provide a base APR of 5% plus up to 15% in additional rewards, reaching a maximum of 20% APR. USDE‑margined pairs offer a base APR of 4.75%.
Balances of at least 100 USDT accrue interest hourly, with rewards settled daily, while remaining available for trading.
Retail Focus
MEXC positions the upgrade as a way to extend capital‑efficiency tools, traditionally available to institutional participants, to retail traders. The exchange highlights its broader suite of retail‑focused services, including zero‑fee trading, deep liquidity, and VVIP benefits.
Company Background
Founded in 2018, MEXC operates a global multi‑asset platform serving users in over 170 markets, offering crypto, stocks, tokenized assets, derivatives, and TradFi‑linked products through a single account.
