MEXC has officially launched its Prediction Market platform, introducing zero trading and settlement fees to the rapidly expanding sector of event-based contracts.
Announced on Monday, March 16, 2026, the new service leverages MEXC’s existing high-performance infrastructure to offer millisecond-level latency, which the company claims is 30 times faster than comparable products.
Prediction Markets are now LIVE on MEXC! Bet on what happens next: sports, politics, crypto & more.

The platform allows users to trade on the outcomes of geopolitical risks, macroeconomic shifts, and crypto-specific events, transforming real-time information into actionable trading signals without the cost erosion typical of traditional or decentralised prediction venues.
Crypto prediction markets trend
The launch comes as the prediction market sector experiences explosive growth, with leading platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket processing over $18 billion in trades in February 2026 alone, a ninefold increase since August 2025.
Traders are increasingly using these markets as both information references and risk-hedging tools to navigate market uncertainty. MEXC Chief Operating Officer Vugar Usi noted that the “next frontier of trading isn’t just assets, it’s outcomes,” highlighting a shift where global events become real-time probability signals.
MEXC prediction markets roadmap
Integrated directly into the MEXC app and web interface, the Prediction Market platform functions through a CEX-grade security framework to ensure asset safety while eliminating on-chain operational risks.
Users can transfer funds seamlessly from their spot accounts to the prediction terminal, where they can place limit or market orders on specific event results. By removing fees for both the public beta and the initial batch of markets, MEXC aims to capture market share from specialised venues by providing a unified account for judgment, trading, and risk management.
MEXC’s aggressive entry into prediction markets follows its successful “Zero-Fee” strategy implemented throughout 2025. This initiative reportedly saved over 3.4 million traders roughly 1.1 billion USDT in fees across thousands of spot and futures pairs. The exchange has been a pioneer in this “true zero-fee” model, recently expanding the strategy to include real-world asset (RWA) futures such as tokenised gold and silver.
The trend of integrating event contracts into broader exchange ecosystems is accelerating in 2026. This follows Coinbase’s January 2026 launch of regulated prediction markets via Kalshi and Crypto.com’s introduction of similar CFTC-regulated products.
