MEXC, the fastest‑growing global cryptocurrency exchange redefining a user‑first approach to digital assets through true zero‑fee trading, today published its February 2026 platform performance highlights, pointing to strong momentum in AI and infrastructure tokens and the introduction of a new downside protection mechanism for Launchpad participants.
In February, MEXC’s top 10 newly listed tokens by spot trading volume averaged a peak gain of 1,367%. AI and infrastructure projects were well represented: POWERAI (+1,778%), PSAI (+1,695%), TONIXAI (+1,616%), and ESP(+1,025%) led the volume rankings, with privacy computing tokens ZAMA and AZTEC and DeFi protocol ECHELON(+930%) rounding out a list that skewed heavily toward technical and infrastructure assets.
Beyond the volume leaders, the highest-gain list reflected genuine market breadth: MEME (PUNCH, +4,980%), CreatorFi (CRTR, +940%), DeFi (ECHELON, +930% and UP, +900%), DePIN + Robotics (ROBO, +869%), and privacy computing (AZTEC, +700%). Users with exposure across these categories found February’s newly listed tokens among the most active on the market.
Across both lists, ETH-based projects were most represented, led by infrastructure and privacy assets. BSC accounted for multiple AI-related listings, while BASE, Aptos, and SOL each contributed standout performers.
February also marked the debut of MEXC’s Loss Protection mechanism on Launchpad — a refund guarantee triggered automatically if a newly listed token falls below its listing price shifting the downside risk from user to exchange. The month drew over 21,000 Launchpad participants with subscriptions exceeding 3.13 million USDT.
Alongside Launchpad, MEXC’s broader rewards ecosystem continued to scale — Airdrop+ events reached more than 11,700 participants with a combined prize pool exceeding 1 million USDT, while a Spin & Win event for HYPE distributed an additional 200,000 USDT in prizes.
With AI-related assets and real-world infrastructure projects driving notable market activity, MEXC’s focus in the months ahead remains on expanding its listing coverage and reinforcing the structural protections that define its user-first model.
