MEXC referral code

With this MEXC referral code you get a 10% lifetime discount on spot and futures trading fees and access to up to $20 USDT in welcome rewards. Enter the code during registration.

The discount applies on top of MEXC’s already low base rates of 0% maker and 0.05% taker for spot, and 0% maker and 0.02% taker for futures. We pass on the highest percentage available, and the code can only be entered while registering. If you already have an account, adding one afterwards is not possible.

Important for European users: MEXC does not hold a MiCA licence and is ending its services for residents in Europe. Do not create a new MEXC account from Europe. This code is only relevant in countries where the platform still accepts customers. In Europe, use a licensed alternative such as Bitvavo, Bybit EU or OKX.

What bonus do I get with the MEXC referral code?

The code unlocks two things: a lifetime fee discount and the welcome rewards for new users.

The 10% discount applies to spot and futures alike, is active immediately after registration and stays with your account.

On top of that, MEXC runs welcome rewards for completing tasks:

• Sign up reward: up to $20 USDT for creating an account with a referral code.
• App download: $5 to $10 USDT for downloading the app and logging in.
• Deposit rewards: additional rewards for depositing a minimum amount of USDT within a set period.
• Futures trading rewards: tiered rewards for hitting futures volume milestones.
• Referral rewards: $5 USDT for each person you invite who completes KYC and meets the trading requirements.

One thing to be clear about: these bonuses are paid as futures trading vouchers rather than cash, and they expire if you do not claim them within 15 days. Amounts vary by region and change often, so check the MEXC Rewards Hub for the current offer.

Deposit and trading reward tiers

These tiers require you to keep the deposit in place for at least three consecutive days and to reach the matching cumulative futures volume, so they are aimed at people who were going to trade futures anyway.

How to register with the MEXC referral code

Skip the code during sign up and both the discount and the welcome rewards are permanently lost, because there is no way to add one to an existing account.

MEXC trading fees explained

MEXC has some of the lowest fees in the industry. Unlike most exchanges it charges 0% maker fees on both spot and futures, which makes it particularly cheap if you use limit orders.

With code mexc-10OFF your effective spot taker fee drops from 0.05% to 0.045%, and your futures taker fee from 0.02% to 0.018%.

You can go further by holding MX tokens, the native token of MEXC. Holding 500 or more MX in your spot account for 24 consecutive hours activates a 50% discount on all trading fees, or you can enable MX fee deduction for 20% without holding the full 500.

For comparison, Binance charges 0.10% for spot both ways, while Bitvavo and Bybit EU charge up to 0.25%.

MEXC compared with Bitvavo, Bybit EU and OKX

MEXC has the lowest fees by a distance and the widest coin selection, but no European authorisation. It is ending services in Europe, so the comparison is only useful to readers in countries where MEXC remains available. European readers should use a MiCA-licensed platform with fund segregation, transparency requirements and a formal complaints route.

What is MEXC?

MEXC Global is a cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2018, headquartered in the Seychelles and serving more than 10 million users across over 170 countries. It is known for listing new tokens faster than most exchanges and offers one of the largest selections of trading pairs in the industry, with more than 2,700 spot pairs and over 800 futures pairs.

The platform supports spot trading, futures with up to 200x leverage, copy trading, grid bots and earn products. It also runs DEX+, a decentralised trading feature giving access to tokens across multiple blockchains. Support is available in more than 18 languages.

Note that 200x leverage magnifies losses at exactly the same rate as gains, and is only appropriate for traders who understand liquidation risk.

Is MEXC safe?

MEXC has operated since 2018 without a major security incident involving loss of user funds. It uses standard measures including two-factor authentication, cold storage for the majority of funds and real-time risk monitoring.

The caveat is regulatory rather than technical. MEXC is registered in the Seychelles and holds no MiCA licence or other European authorisation. It is therefore ending services for residents in Europe. There is no MiCA protection, formal investor compensation scheme or European regulated dispute route attached to a MEXC account.

If you use MEXC, consider moving crypto you are holding long term to a personal wallet. Not your keys, not your coins applies to every centralised exchange.

The MEXC referral programme

As a referrer you earn up to 40% commission on the trading fees of the people you invite, and up to 50% in certain regions. The commission runs for 1,080 days, roughly three years, from the date they sign up.

For a referral to count, the person you invite has to complete KYC and accumulate a deposit of at least 100 USDT plus futures volume above 500 USDT within 7 days of signing up. Both sides then receive futures bonus rewards.

You will find your personal code in the Referral section of your account. Commissions are calculated daily and paid automatically. Holding MX tokens increases your referral earnings and unlocks fee discounts of up to 50% for you and the people you invite.
