MEXC launched the FUN/USDC spot trading pair with zero fees. The listing coincided with a short-term price uptick for FUNToken and is part of a multi‑pair rollout. The move targets increased dollar‑linked liquidity and broader trading access across the exchange’s spot market.
MEXC opened trading for FUN/USDC alongside three other USDC-denominated spot pairs on December 23, 2025. Within hours, FUNToken registered an initial price gain of about 5%, later settling to roughly a 3% advance over the following days, a move market observers interpreted as a vote of confidence and greater access to liquidity. A spot trading pair is a direct market between two assets enabling immediate exchange at prevailing prices.
MEXC framed the expansion as strategic rather than promotional. In its announcement the exchange said, ‘Our decision to institutionalize zero fees and extend them across the entire Spot market reflects a long term commitment to empowering users across market cycles,’ positioning the new pairs as infrastructure upgrades intended to reduce trading friction for dollar‑linked trades.
The exchange emphasizes a permanent zero-fee approach for spot pairs as a growth lever to deepen liquidity and attract trading volume. The policy removes maker and taker fees for covered spot trades, and MEXC also promotes additional cost incentives through its native MX token, which can lower fees further by up to 50% when used for discounts.
FUN/USDC launch and immediate market reaction
To amplify engagement, MEXC paired the listing push with promotional incentives that include a user-focused prize event and other community rewards. The exchange has pointed to prior results linking zero-fee campaigns to higher platform activity, citing a 170% surge in trading volume during Q1 2025 tied to similar initiatives. Industry commentators view these measures as targeted at lowering entry barriers for altcoin trading and improving order execution conditions—particularly for traders seeking dollar liquidity without fee drag.
For traders, the listing offers reduced transaction costs and potentially lower slippage when executing larger orders in FUN/USDC. For the FUNToken project, the pairing increases exchange visibility and direct access to USDC liquidity, aiding price discovery and risk management for investors converting between token and dollar‑pegged assets.
The FUN/USDC listing on MEXC marks a tactical step in the exchange’s broader cost‑reduction and liquidity strategy, with early price movement suggesting modest market interest.
