By the end of August, users holding positions had increased by 105.2% since the end of June.

MEXC's data also indicated a strong cross-product engagement, particularly in the semiconductor and memory sectors, which ranked first in trading volume across both MEXC RealStocks and tokenized stocks. In Stock Futures, the memory sector accounted for over 50% of trading volume.

Trading volume in stock indices and ETFs rose by 333.7% compared to May and June, significantly outpacing the 94.5% growth in individual stocks.
