MEXC Data: BTC Breaks $80,000, Major-Asset Spot Trading Volume Surges 300%

ECONOMY 31.08.2026

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, reports a sharp rise in Spot trading activity on the platform as BTC topped $80,000 and ETH and SOL reached near six-month highs. From August 20 to 22, the average daily Spot trading volume of BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP increased by approximately 299% from the daily average recorded between August 1 and 17. Over the same period, the combined average daily trading volume of ETH, SOL, and XRP exceeded that of BTC. Compared with the BTC-dominated trading structure seen from August 1 to 17, activity on the platform spread noticeably across a broader range of major assets.

This shift in trading composition had already emerged on August 19. On that day, the combined trading share of ETH, SOL, and XRP rose from 30.5% a day earlier to 46.7%, an increase of 16.2 percentage points and the largest single-day gain in August. Their combined daily share subsequently remained above the 34.9% baseline recorded from August 1 to 17, indicating that trading interest in these three major assets had begun to rise before BTC broke above $80,000.

On August 25, when BTC topped $80,000, BTC Spot trading volume increased by approximately 164% from the August 1 to 17 daily average. ETH volume rose by 220%, while SOL and XRP each increased by approximately 500%. BTC remained an important market signal during this rally, but the increase in platform activity was not limited to BTC. Instead, multiple major assets became active at the same time.

The trend continued on August 27, when ETH and SOL climbed to nearly six-month highs. On MEXC, ETH Spot trading volume increased by 36.3% from the previous day, while SOL volume rose by 109.7%. Together, the two assets accounted for 46.4% of combined trading volume across the four assets, marking a new August high and making them the primary drivers of the day's increase in trading activity.

As market sentiment strengthens, trading demand can rotate quickly across major assets, making trading costs and execution efficiency increasingly important for users seeking to respond to market movements. MEXC currently offers 0-fee trading on selected SOL Spot trading pairs and all XRP Spot trading pairs. Combined with deep liquidity, this enables users to navigate market rotations at lower cost and with greater efficiency while capturing more opportunities.
