MEXC Leads Q1 Market Share Gains with Highest Growth in Both Spot and Derivatives
VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — While the global crypto market experienced a sharp downturn in Q1 2025, MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, bucked the trend with significant gains in both spot and derivatives market share, according to the latest reports from TokenInsight and CoinGecko.
Market Share Growth Despite Industry Decline
According to TokenInsight’s Q1 2025 Exchange Report, MEXC was one of the few major centralized exchanges (CEXs) to grow its presence while the total market saw a 12.53% decline in trading volume, dropping to $23 trillion.
MEXC increased its market share from 12.47% to 13.06% quarter-over-quarter. On the spot market, the exchange saw the largest increase in market share among all major CEXs, growing by 1.7% — a standout performance in a quarter marked by declining investor activity.
Leading the Charge in Derivatives
MEXC’s most notable performance was in the derivatives segment, where it posted a 4.3% increase, jumping from 8.2% to 12.5% market share, according to TokenInsight. This marks the largest gain among all top 10 derivatives exchanges, as other major players struggled with declining volumes and heightened market uncertainty.
Outperforming in a Shrinking Spot Market
While CoinGecko’s report showed spot trading volumes across centralized exchanges fell by 16.3% to $5.4 trillion in Q1 2025, MEXC gained ground, outperforming most peers and reinforcing its position as one of the fastest-growing CEXs globally.
This performance came at a time when high-risk assets lost investor favor and speculative trading declined sharply. MEXC’s consistent growth highlights its reputation for reliability, market responsiveness, and user-focused innovation.
Exchange Stability Amid Market Turmoil
Following major security incidents in Q1, traders increasingly migrated toward secure, stable platforms. MEXC capitalized on this trend, with both trading volume and user adoption increasing as confidence in competitor platforms waned.
Looking Ahead: Innovation & Resilience
With geopolitical tensions and regulatory changes continuing to influence global markets, MEXC remains committed to expanding its DeFi product suite, embracing regulatory clarity, and delivering early access to emerging trends and tokens. Its unique approach to agile listings and risk-managed derivatives makes it a standout performer in a maturing exchange landscape.
