Stocks Trading FAQ
1. What are US stocks?
US stocks refer to shares of companies listed and traded on US stock exchanges. The United States is home to the world's largest and most liquid equity market, bringing together leading companies across technology, finance, consumer goods, healthcare, and many other sectors. Many globally recognized companies choose to go public in the US, including major technology firms and leading new-energy companies.
Investing in US stocks allows users to participate in the growth of some of the world's leading companies and share in their business performance. With high market transparency, a well-established regulatory framework, and mature trading mechanisms, the US stock market remains an important option for global asset allocation. For investors seeking to diversify risk and participate in global economic growth, it offers a wide range of opportunities.
2. What is the difference between Stocks and Tokenized Stocks?
Stocks on MEXC provides direct access to the US equities market through collaboration with licensed brokers. When users purchase stocks through MEXC, they are buying real shares of publicly listed US companies and are entitled to the associated shareholder rights, including dividends and other ownership benefits. The stock assets belong to the user, who may hold them over the long term and benefit from the company's growth.
While some market participants offer synthetic products that only track price fluctuations, MEXC bridges the gap to real-world ownership. For users who want to genuinely participate in the growth of US-listed companies and obtain shareholder rights, trading US stocks through compliant brokerages is a more suitable choice.
3. What currencies are supported by Stocks trading?
At present, Stocks on MEXC are quoted in USD, and users can transfer funds using USDT. The platform offers a frictionless conversion experience between USDT and USD, allowing users to move funds without worrying about conversion loss during transfers.
4. What are the trading hours for Stocks?
Stocks trading follows the schedule of the US securities market.
During Daylight Saving Time (DST), regular trading hours are from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. Due to time zone differences, this corresponds to 1:30 PM to 8:00 PM (UTC). (Please note that specific times will shift by one hour during Standard Time).
During Daylight Saving Time (DST), overnight trading hours are from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM ET (next day). This corresponds to 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM (UTC). (Please note that specific times will shift by one hour during Standard Time).
MEXC also provides limited-time Level 1 real-time quotes and extended-hours market data to help users stay on top of market developments. Real-time quotes allow users to track price movements more closely and make more timely trading decisions. Eligible users may also receive real-time market data subsidies to reduce access costs.
5. What are the trading fees for Stocks?
During the launch period, MEXC is offering a limited-time zero-fee promotion for US stock trading, allowing users to trade US stocks without paying transaction fees during the campaign period. This significantly lowers the cost of getting started and makes it easier for more users to try US stock investing with a lower barrier to entry.
The zero-fee promotion also gives users an opportunity to become familiar with the trading process and explore investment strategies without taking on additional trading costs.
6. What Are the Sources of Return for Stocks?
Returns from holding US stocks primarily come from two sources. The first is capital appreciation when the stock price rises. If the price of a stock increases after purchase, the user may choose to sell for a profit or continue holding in anticipation of further upside. The second is shareholder entitlement. As holders of real shares, users may receive dividends or other benefits when a listed company distributes profits.
Together, these two return streams form the basis of US stock investing. Unlike products that are purely designed for price speculation, MEXC partners with licensed brokerages to enable users to become actual shareholders in listed companies and share in the multiple benefits brought by long-term corporate growth.
7. Is Stocks trading safe?
MEXC partners with licensed brokerages to provide users with real stock assets, with the shares owned directly by the users themselves.
Compared with products that only provide synthetic price exposure, real stock ownership offers greater transparency and stronger asset clarity. Users are purchasing actual shares in listed companies and hold clearly defined rights.
8. What should I keep in mind when investing in Stocks?
Like any other investment, US stock investing involves risk. Stock prices can rise, but they can also fall. Share prices are influenced by many factors, including company performance, industry trends, macroeconomic conditions, and market sentiment. Before investing in US stocks, users should take time to understand the fundamentals of the companies they are considering, including their financial condition and long-term prospects.
Reasonable asset allocation is an important part of risk management. Users should allocate capital across different asset classes based on their own risk tolerance. Cross-market diversification can help reduce concentration risk in a single market, but it cannot eliminate investment risk entirely. Users are encouraged to maintain a rational investment mindset, avoid blindly chasing market rallies or panic selling, and consult professional accounting or financial advisors before making investment decisions.
9. What launch promotions are available for Stocks?
During the Stocks launch period, MEXC offers several promotional activities:
1）A limited-time zero-fee campaign, allowing users to trade US stocks without paying transaction fees during the event period.
2）A new user rewards campaign, where users who complete their first US stock trade or meet holding requirements may receive US stock cash card rewards.
3）A lucky draw event, where users who complete designated tasks may have a chance to receive stock rewards.
Users are encouraged to follow MEXC's official announcements for the latest campaign details, participation requirements, and event rules, so they can make full use of these offers and start their US stock investing journey at a lower cost.
