Full Review

MEXC has rapidly grown to become a major player in crypto trading, primarily due to its aggressive fee structure and early token listings. For ETC traders, it offers excellent value.

Fee Innovation MEXC's 0% maker fee policy is industry-leading. Combined with a low 0.2% taker fee, it's one of the most cost-effective platforms for ETC trading. This makes it particularly attractive for market makers and high-frequency traders.

KYC Policy Basic trading is available without KYC verification, appealing to privacy-conscious users. Higher withdrawal limits and additional features require identity verification.

ETC Markets Strong liquidity on ETC/USDT with consistent $2M+ daily volume. Also offers ETC/BTC and ETC/USDC pairs. Sufficient depth for most retail and moderate institutional trades.

Platform Features Full suite of trading tools including spot, margin, and futures. The interface is functional if not the most polished. Mobile apps are well-designed and full-featured.

Security Measures Standard security features including 2FA, withdrawal whitelist, and anti-phishing codes. Cold storage for majority of funds. No major security incidents reported.

Considerations Less regulatory oversight than US-based exchanges. Users should assess their own comfort level with the regulatory environment.
