The world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, MEXC, has released token listing and trading data for January and February, highlighting strong market demand for new tokens, particularly memecoins, despite overall market volatility and downturn. The findings also reflect growing investor appetite for community-driven assets.
The exchange listed 34 new tokens in January and 24 in February, a significant reduction from the 46 tokens launched in December 2024. Despite this, new tokens continued to attract interest, with seven of the top 10 new tokens by trading volume being launched in February, even as overall market trends appeared more subdued in January.
After an average peak increase of 388% for new tokens in January, the figure climbed to 660% in February, as new listings continued to generate enthusiasm among traders. TST led the surge with a staggering 4,792% increase, followed by ELONSOL at 1,128%. The top 10 new tokens by trading volume recorded an average peak increase of 756%, highlighting the high level of trader interest and market activity.
Celebrity and politically themed memecoins demonstrated significant price surges, with four of the top five best-performing tokens - TST, ELONSOL, MELANIA, and CAR - linked to public figures. The top three memecoins (TST, ELONSOL, and MELANIA) achieved an average peak increase of 2,338%, compared to 640% for the top three non-meme tokens (BSX, J, and RIZ).
Moreover, the TRUMP token was a dominant force, accounting for over 45% of the total trading volume for new tokens. It drew significant market liquidity and investor interest, further strengthening its position as a top-performing asset.
Commenting on the findings, a spokesperson at MEXC said: “Our latest data underscores the continued demand for trendy tokens and social trends, with meme coins driving trading activity. The sheer volume of listings and the record-breaking price surges achieved by these meme coins highlight MEXC's role as a go-to exchange for discovering and trading early digital assets.”
