MEXC announced its August 2026 operational highlights on September 7, reporting that users' cumulative fee savings reached $154 million. The exchange also said its zero-fee trading pairs expanded to 1,317 during the month.
The figures come from the exchange's monthly update, which tracks key metrics for its trading platform. The $154 million in savings is a cumulative number, meaning it includes all fee savings from the program's start through August. The exchange did not specify how much of that total came from August alone.
Fee savings climb
The zero-fee program allows users to trade certain pairs without paying transaction fees. Over time, these savings add up. The $154 million cumulative figure suggests the program has been widely used. The exchange did not provide a breakdown of savings by pair or by user.
For traders, zero-fee pairs mean lower costs on each trade, which can make a difference for those who execute frequently. The exchange has been promoting this feature as a way to cut trading expenses.
Zero-fee pairs expand
The number of zero-fee trading pairs reached 1,317 in August. That's an increase from the previous month, though the exchange did not give the exact prior count. The expansion means more trading options are available without fees, which could appeal to cost-conscious traders.
The exchange has been steadily adding pairs to its zero-fee list. The August count marks the latest step in that effort, though the announcement did not include a timeline for further additions.
Announcement details
The September 7 announcement focused on operational highlights. It did not include other metrics like trading volume or user numbers. The exchange typically releases these updates monthly, but it did not say when the September figures would be published.
The next update is expected to cover September's performance, but no date has been set.
