MEXC has introduced USDC-margined perpetual contracts for BTC, ETH, SOL, and 47 additional pairs, effective March 26. Unlike USDT-margined contracts, USDC collateral eliminates Tether depegging risk — a growing concern among institutional traders. Initial taker fee is set at 0.035% with maker rebate of -0.005%.
Volume in the first 24 hours hit $890M across all USDC pairs, signaling strong demand.
