Tokenized Equities Draw Heavy Volume
MEXC trading statistics published Tuesday showed exchange users shifting focus toward tokenized U.S. equities and pre-IPO offerings throughout September. Artificial intelligence stocks and exchange-traded funds captured 48% of total tokenized stock volume on the platform. Trading volume for these AI instruments expanded 88% compared to non-AI equity products.
Data compiled by the exchange revealed that semiconductor manufacturers, optical networking providers, and data center operators commanded 90% of that expansion. Circle, SpaceX, and Nebius led individual order books. Capital moved rapidly into these tokenized rails.
Pre-IPO Assets Attract Speculative Capital
Pre-IPO offerings and pre-IPO futures drew significant speculative capital as broader crypto markets entered a neutral consolidation phase. Trading volume across pre-IPO products climbed 60% during the month. Participants targeted equity exposure tied to OpenAI, Moonshot AI's Kimi, and Enflame.
MEXC Chief Executive Officer Vugar Usi noted in correspondence with researchers that demand expanded far beyond basic microchips into the broader infrastructure supply chain. Traders positioned themselves ahead of public listings.

Artemis sector analytics placed DeFi Lending and Yield at the top of global performance charts with a 54.3% return. Crypto Infrastructure gained 53.0% over the same duration.
