MEXC Earnings Season Data: Nearly Half of Tokenized Stock Trading Volume Occurs Outside Regular U.S. Hours

Mutsamudu, Comoros, September 29, 2026 — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today released stock trading data from the July-August 2026 earnings season, highlighting a continued shift in U.S. stock market participation beyond regular trading hours. During the period, 49.20% of tokenized stock trading volume took place during pre-market, after-hours, and overnight sessions, exceeding the 40.26% recorded during regular trading hours. Meanwhile, the number of users trading RealStocks increased 608% compared with May and June.

In July and August, 89.46% of MEXC tokenized stock trading volume still took place on U.S. trading days, while trading activity increasingly extended beyond regular trading hours. Pre-market and overnight sessions accounted for 19.75% and 20.73% of total trading volume, respectively, making them the two most active windows outside regular market hours.

Participation in the stock market also continued to expand. The number of RealStocks users increased 608% compared with May and June, while the number of first-time traders rose 561%. By the end of August, the number of users holding positions had also increased 105.2% from the end of June.

As trading hours expand and participation grows, U.S. stock activity on MEXC is also showing stronger cross-product engagement. During July and August, semiconductors and memory stocks ranked first by trading volume across both MEXC RealStocks and tokenized stocks. In Stock Futures, the memory sector also accounted for more than 50% of trading volume. Within RealStocks, trading volume in stock indices and ETFs increased 333.7% compared with May and June, significantly outpacing the 94.5% growth in individual stocks. Indices and ETFs also grew from approximately 12.6% to 24.3% of total RealStocks trading volume.

NVIDIA further demonstrates this cross-product activity. During July and August, the number of RealStocks users trading NVIDIA increased 777.8%, while the number of users trading the tokenized stocks NVDAON and NVDAX increased 138.4% and 228.8%, respectively. Following NVIDIA’s earnings release after the U.S. market closed on August 26, daily trading volume in NVIDIA tokenized stocks and NVIDIA Stock Futures increased 59% and 443%, respectively, compared with the previous day. The three highest-volume days for NVIDIA tokenized stocks in August also fell between August 26 and 28, around the earnings release. This shows how users can access the same market theme through different products.

On the cost side, MEXC continues to offer 0-fee trading for eligible Stock and Stock Index Futures. During July and August, the amount of trading fees saved by users through 0-fee trading increased 428% compared with May and June. With longer trading hours, a broader range of trading tools, and lower trading costs, barriers to participating in global equity markets continue to decline.

Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC, said: “Markets are becoming increasingly 24/7, while traditional trading boundaries remain. Nearly half of tokenized stock trading volume now takes place outside regular trading hours, reflecting growing demand for more flexible market access. MEXC aims to further break down the barriers of time, tools, and cost, giving users greater freedom to participate in global markets.”
