MEXC closed October with explosive momentum, revealing a reshaped token landscape defined by artificial intelligence, meme culture, and decentralized finance. According to the exchange’s latest report, new listings on the platform generated a +1,625% average cumulative gain, underscoring its growing dominance in early-stage market discovery.
Surge in New Listings and Market Narratives
October saw 200 new tokens debut on MEXC, with over half representing first-wave releases. Unlike traditional exchanges that trail narratives, MEXC positioned itself at the front of emerging sectors, launching AI-powered projects, community-driven meme tokens, and next-generation DeFi protocols before they trended elsewhere. This mix of innovation and volatility attracted both speculative traders and long-term believers seeking early exposure.
BSC Ecosystem Extends Its Lead
The Binance Smart Chain (BSC) continued to anchor much of this growth, accounting for eight of the ten best-performing tokens of the month. Analysts noted that BSC’s ecosystem has evolved into a self-sustaining loop, where meme-driven hype fuels liquidity that later cycles into DeFi products. This interplay has created a rare balance, speculative appeal with underlying infrastructure strength.
Meanwhile, BASE, TON, and SUI also gained traction. BASE strengthened its hybrid model between payments and AI, TON expanded its DeFi offerings through projects like EVAA, and SUI pivoted toward AI computation infrastructure, quietly building the foundation for scalable intelligent applications.
User Engagement Through Launchpad and Airdrops
To meet the growing appetite for early access, MEXC expanded its Airdrop+ and Launchpad programs. Nearly $2.5 million in rewards were distributed through 49 campaigns, while discounted token sales like SOL drew over 12,000 participants and 437,000 USDT in contributions. This dual model lowers entry barriers for retail users and aligns platform growth with project success, turning MEXC into a bridge between early innovation and mass participation.
Building the Next Crypto Cycle
MEXC’s October data signals more than just listing success, it reflects a shift in how users discover and engage with emerging assets. By combining access to trending narratives with long-term project support, the exchange has positioned itself as a catalyst for the next phase of crypto growth, where AI, DeFi, and meme tokens converge to define the industry’s next bull cycle.
