MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released its report, “The Next-Generation Investor: Behavioral Migration from Traditional Finance to Crypto Exchanges.”

The report reveals that traditional asset trading is gradually shifting toward crypto exchanges. Among surveyed users with a traditional finance background, 74.2% have moved some or all of their traditional asset trading activities to crypto exchanges. Meanwhile, 83.3% of all respondents plan to further increase their traditional asset trading volume on crypto exchanges. Crypto exchanges are evolving beyond digital asset trading platforms to become important gateways for multi-asset trading.

The survey collected 6,185 responses across 13 languages, including 2,874 respondents with traditional finance backgrounds. The report examines the investment behaviors of both crypto-native users and users with traditional finance backgrounds, exploring how trading activities are migrating between traditional financial platforms and crypto exchanges.

Traditional Finance User Migration Emerges as a Key Trend

Beyond the 74.2% of users who have already migrated, another 16.5% of users with a traditional finance background are considering migration, while only 9.2% indicated that they will continue using traditional platforms. This trend is not limited to any specific investment channel: the migration rate among users who have previously invested through commodity ETFs reached 77.8%, while the rate among users who have invested through brokerages or retail banks stood at 73.8%.

Migration is not limited to traditional finance users. Among users whose first investment experience came from the crypto market, 61.9% have already traded traditional assets on crypto exchanges, while 53.4% said crypto exchanges have become their primary venue for trading precious metals, rather than traditional brokerages.

Trading Hours and Fees Are the Two Main Drivers Behind User Migration

The two aspects that respondents were most dissatisfied with when using traditional brokerages were limited trading hours (58.8%) and high fees (54.7%), followed by complex account opening processes and slower execution speeds.

Their reasons for switching to crypto exchanges directly align with these pain points. The top two reasons were likewise 24/7 market access (64.7%) and more competitive fees (53.8%). Other factors included greater asset flexibility, a smoother account opening process, and faster execution speeds. Users are not being attracted by new asset categories alone, but by the significant differences in trading hours, fees, and execution efficiency.

Among all respondents, 83.3% plan to further increase their traditional asset trading volume on crypto exchanges, indicating that migration has not yet peaked.

Nearly 70% of Users Have Missed Trading Opportunities Due to Market Closures

When major macroeconomic events occur over weekends or holidays, traditional markets are often closed, leaving investors unable to respond in a timely manner. The report shows that 69.2% of respondents have experienced this situation.

An increasing number of users are choosing to position themselves ahead of market openings. 73.3% stated that they have used crypto exchange futures to establish positions before traditional markets open, while 58.0% consider this ability to position ahead of time as the greatest advantage of crypto exchanges. Whether users have experienced such situations directly impacts how they evaluate this capability. Among users who frequently miss opportunities due to market closures, 71.3% regard the ability to position ahead of market openings as the greatest advantage; among those who have never encountered such situations, the figure is 37.0%.

MEXC CEO Vugar Usi stated: As more users trade Bitcoin, gold, and U.S. stocks on the same day, a financial infrastructure better aligned with today’s user needs is taking shape. MEXC is committed to building an all-day, 0-fee, single-account, low-friction multi-asset trading platform, bringing users unlimited trading opportunities.

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has upgraded its RealStocks trading experience with three new features. The upgrade is designed to improve access to the U.S. stock market, simplify fund and portfolio management, and support users pursuing long-term investment strategies through the MEXC platform.

RealStocks is an innovative cross-market trading product launched by MEXC in collaboration with regulated brokerage partners, allowing eligible users to directly purchase and hold real shares of more than 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs. With the new RealStocks Real-World Assets (RWA) feature, users can access a trading experience that more closely mirrors the real U.S. equity market and enjoy applicable shareholder rights where available.

The latest upgrade introduces two additional features to simplify the trading and investment process. When a RealStocks account has insufficient funds, users can now transfer available assets directly from their Spot account during the order process, eliminating the need to pre-fund the RealStocks account. The upgrade also introduces Recurring Investments for stocks, allowing users to set a fixed amount and investment frequency, such as weekly or monthly, to automatically purchase selected stocks. This feature helps reduce the need for manual order placement and supports a more consistent approach to long-term investing.

The RealStocks upgrade further enhances the trading experience for users on MEXC. As a one-stop trading platform, MEXC provides multiple ways to access U.S. equities, including RealStocks, Tokenized Stocks, Stock Futures, and Pre-IPO Launchpad opportunities. MEXC continues to uphold its commitment to “0 Fees” and “Infinite Opportunities” by lowering trading barriers and expanding access to global markets. In July, MEXC offered 0-fee trading across 995 trading pairs, helping users save a total of $112 million in trading fees. In addition, MEXC 0808: Stock Season, the annual brand event, is currently underway, offering 0-fee trading across RealStocks, Tokenized Stocks, and Stock Futures, with a $500,000 prize pool.

Looking ahead, MEXC will continue to enhance its products and services, providing users with broader access to global markets while lowering the barriers to market participation.
