MEXC Investors Pivot to RWA and US Equity Futures in May

A 15.5x oversubscription for the SPACEX(PRE) Launchpad and an 85% surge in US equity futures volume highlight a structural shift on the MEXC exchange. In May, capital flowed aggressively out of meme tokens and into real-world assets and AI infrastructure as traders sought traditional market exposure.

The report shows that users are moving toward institutional-grade yield and AI-driven utility. RWA projects dominated the spot volume rankings, with SLX rising 535%, SHARE climbing 341%, and KAIO surging 1,400%. The AI sector saw even higher volatility, led by BILL at 4,636% and GITLAWB at 880%, reflecting a demand for on-chain identity verification and permission management.

TradFi volume grew 21% overall, bolstered by the expansion of the platform's US equity offerings from 100 to 120 contracts. Stock index futures climbed 134%, while interest in AI-linked semiconductors pushed names like NVIDIA and MU into the top 10 futures list. CEO Vugar Usi noted that the record-breaking 56 million USDT subscription volume for the SpaceX event confirms that crypto-native investors are prioritizing broader wealth-building opportunities over speculative digital assets.
