Crypto exchange MEXC announced a major milestone, with its second round of the SPACEX (PRE) Launchpad sale attracting over 36,000 participants and approximately 118 million USDT in subscriptions. This marks the first time a single MEXC Launchpad round has exceeded $100 million.
The surge reflects intense demand for pre-IPO access to SpaceX. On the platform, SpaceX futures became the most traded US equity contract in June, while the tokenized SpaceX stock led all tokenized equities in spot trading.
"Users now expect one account that covers everything they want to trade, whether that is a token that was listed yesterday or a company that has not gone public yet," said Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC.
June also saw broader growth in traditional finance (TradFi) products. Tokenized US stocks doubled their presence among the top ten most traded TradFi spot assets. Stock and index futures coverage grew by 48%, and the total TradFi futures shelf reached 237 pairs. Despite the equity boom, gold and silver still accounted for roughly 60% of TradFi futures volume.
The platform's new listings performed strongly, with the ten strongest averaging a peak gain of over 3,700%. Themes like AI agents and decentralized finance infrastructure drove significant volume and attention.
