Cryptocurrency ExchangeMEXCindicates that the boundary between the traditional CFD (Contract for Difference) industry and the crypto market is gradually disappearing. With the rapid maturation of tokenized stocks, crypto futures, and the 24/7 trading model, the two markets are accelerating towards integration, while the clarification of the regulatory environment provides a legal and trust foundation for this process.

“The core users of MEXC no longer log in out of 'novelty',” MEXC Chief Operating Officer (COO) Vugar Usi Zadesaid, “They now view tokenized stocks, crypto spot, and stablecoins as part of the same asset portfolio. This is not an experiment, but a structural interconnection of assets.”

Tokenized Assets Becoming the Entry Point to Mainstream Finance

Since establishing a partnership withOndo Financein September 2025, MEXC has completed the issuance of 17 batches of tokenized U.S. stock products, covering blue-chip stocks, ETFs, and recently focused sectors such as energy and defense (including Lockheed Martin and ConocoPhillips).

The underlying stocks of these assets are held in regulated trust accounts and undergo quarterly audits.

According to Usi Zade, the trading volume of such tokenized products has increased by more than 30 times, reflecting the genuine demand from users for an “around-the-clock stock market”.

From Conflict to Integration: Structural Alignment of CFD and Crypto

In the past, CFD platforms dominated retail stock and gold trading in non-U.S. markets, while the penetration of crypto exchanges in the same area is accelerating. Usi Zade believes that the two are actually “moving from competition to complementarity.”

He pointed out: “The deep cultivation of the CFD model in local regulation and payment systems is its irreplaceable advantage. Meanwhile, crypto platforms have structural advantages in terms of time and efficiency—24/7, no system switching, free flow of funds. These two paths will ultimately converge.”

Regulatory Clarity Brings a New Round of Industry Upgrade

In January 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a joint statement regarding “tokenized securities and linked securities,” clearly stating that “tokenization does not change the underlying legal attributes.”

This means that exchanges must provide clear disclosures in product structure—what rights the tokens represent, who issues them, and what shareholder rights are not possessed.

“We therefore regard the legal structure as part of product design, rather than an afterthought,” Usi Zade emphasized.

“Clear language, transparent rights, and accurate risk disclosure are the basic standards for compliant trading platforms in the future.”

Future of Shared Infrastructure: Different Frontends, Same Backend

Usi Zade believes that although the “frontend forms” of retail brokerage and crypto exchanges may still differ in the short term, the “backend structures” are quickly converging.

With Nasdaq exploring tokenized stock on-chain trading, CFTC approving tokenized assets as collateral for derivatives, and ICE promoting the development of on-chain settlement platforms—the core settlement layer of global markets is becoming interconnected.

He concluded: “In the future, users may operate on different platforms, but the underlying asset records, clearing, and liquidity will operate on the same infrastructure.”

MEXC's Positioning: A Bridge Connecting Traditional and Future Finance

As a global crypto platform covering over 170 countries with more than 40 million users, MEXC is expanding its product line from a single crypto spot to include tokenized stocks, precious metal perpetual contracts, and a range of on-chain derivative tools.

Its vision is to establish a trading infrastructure that is “around-the-clock, cross-asset, and compliant,” providing global investors with a more flexible, transparent, and inclusive financial access method.

“Open, trustworthy, and human-centered” is our definition of future finance, and integration is not a challenge, but a necessity.
