MEXC Stock Futures Trading Volume Rises 130% in August as Trading Activity Broadens Across U.S. and Korean emory and Semiconductor Sectors
Memory and Semiconductor Trading Broadens Across U.S. and Korean Markets
Stock Futures trading activity broadened from a single dominant memory stock to multiple U.S. and Korean memory stocks in August. Five of the top 10 Stock Futures by trading volume tracked memory and storage companies. SKHYNIX (SK hynix) ranked second overall and first among Stock Futures tracking individual stocks, with trading volume up approximately 401% month-on-month. MU (Micron) ranked third, up approximately 267%.
Combined trading volume for Stock Futures tracking Korean companies and markets (SKHYNIX, SKHY, SAMSUNG, and KORU) rose approximately 348%. Their share of total Stock Futures trading volume increased from 14% in July to 27% in August. SNDK (SanDisk) continued to record volume growth, although its share fell from 25% to 11%.
Trading activity also expanded into semiconductor ETFs. SOXL Stock Futures, tracking a semiconductor ETF offering 3x daily long exposure, ranked first as trading volume surged approximately 1,192%. Its share of total Stock Futures trading volume rose from less than 4% in July to 20% in August. SOXS Stock Futures, tracking an ETF offering 3x inverse daily leveraged exposure to the U.S. Semiconductor Index, also recorded 436% volume growth. Meanwhile, trading volume for SPX500 Stock Futures, tracking the S&P 500 Index, declined approximately 32%, reflecting a shift in trading activity from broad-market indices toward sector-specific exposure.
Beyond memory and semiconductors, trading volumes for SPCX (SpaceX) and TSLA (Tesla) Stock Futures rose approximately 45% and 784%, respectively. They ranked fifth and tenth, reflecting continued activity in commercial space and electric vehicles.
Note: Rankings are based on individual Stock Futures listings. SKHYNIX and SKHY are ranked separately.
Tokenized Stocks and ETFs Record 30% Spot Volume Growth
Spot trading volume for MEXC's Tokenized Stocks and ETFs rose approximately 30% month-on-month in August. Their share of total TradFi Spot trading volume increased from 63% in July to 73% in August. Approximately 99% of existing listings recorded higher trading volumes, while the top 10 accounted for just 12% of the segment's volume, indicating broad-based growth rather than activity concentrated in a single asset.
CRCL (Circle) ranked first, with trading volume up 69% month-on-month. COIN (Coinbase) and HOOD (Robinhood) also placed in the top 10. Combined trading volume across these three crypto-related listings rose 47%.
NBIS (Nebius), an AI cloud infrastructure company, ranked third, with trading volume up 188%, the highest growth rate among the top 10. NVDA (NVIDIA) ranked fifth, with trading volume up 54%. AI-related trading activity spanned both semiconductors and cloud computing.
MEXC enables users to trade products linked to U.S., Korean, and Hong Kong equities with USDT through a single account, simplifying access across markets. Stock Futures support long and short positions around the clock, including outside underlying market hours.
Stock Futures trading during August's 10 weekend days accounted for approximately 11% of monthly volume, reflecting demand for access when underlying markets were closed. The MEXC 0808: Stock Season 0-fee event attracted more than 86,000 users and saved participants over $1 million in trading fees.
"The sustained growth in stock-related trading across multiple asset classes and markets underscores the accelerating global demand for accessible, diversified market exposure," said Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC. "We remain committed to expanding our equity-linked offerings and simplifying access for users worldwide, consolidating trading into a single account and delivering on our core proposition, trading Wall Street, without walls."
