MEXC announced the official launch of its US stock trading product, RealStocks. Eligible users can directly buy and sell shares of US-listed companies on the platform, with transactions settled in USDT. Users may also receive dividends or other distributions under applicable conditions.
Trading real US stocks with USDT
MEXC positions this product as a combination of a crypto platform and traditional brokerage services. Unlike synthetic assets or tokenized mapping products, RealStocks connects to real stock holdings. The platform claims that users will gain real market exposure, with liquidity consistent with the traditional US stock market.
Trading hours will follow those of the Nasdaq market. MEXC stated that the platform will not charge transaction fees initially, but users may still incur regulatory, exchange, or clearing-related costs.
