Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC kicked off its first annual brand event, MEXC 0808: Stock Season, on August 5, 2026, from Mutsamudu, Comoros. The event centers on the themes of '0 Fees and Infinite Opportunities' and includes a prize pool of $500,000.
Early bird registration and campaign launch
Early bird registration is open ahead of the main campaign launch scheduled for August 8, 2026. The company has not yet disclosed specific activities or trading pairs that will be featured during the event, but the prize pool is expected to be distributed through promotions tied to zero-fee trading.
MEXC's zero-fee trading model
MEXC has positioned itself as a pioneer in zero-fee digital asset trading. The exchange has long offered fee-free spot trading for certain pairs, and the 0808: Stock Season event appears to double down on that model. The company says the initiative is designed to attract both new and existing users by removing cost barriers.
Why Mutsamudu?
The announcement was made from Mutsamudu, the capital of the island nation of Comoros. The choice of location may reflect MEXC's global ambitions, though the company did not elaborate on why it selected that particular city for the launch.
The event runs through an unspecified period, with the main campaign starting August 8. Further details on trading competitions or rewards are expected closer to that date.
