On March 19, 2025, the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC announced the launch of DEX+, a hybrid product bridging the gap between CEX and DEX for seamless on-chain and off-chain trading. To mark the occasion, the platform offers a bonus of 20 USDT to new users who conduct trades of at least 100 USDT on DEX+, according to the MEXC website.
DEX+ users can trade on decentralized exchanges directly through the MEXC website and app. At launch, the hybrid platform supports the Solana ecosystem, providing access to tokens on Raydium and Pump.fun. On March 26, developers will add support for BNB Chain, with other blockchains and DEX to follow.
The main advantage of DEX+ lies in simplifying on-chain interactions such as signing transactions and exchanging cryptocurrencies. MEXC clients can directly transfer funds to a DEX+ account and execute buy and sell orders without on-chain operations. This approach makes decentralized trading more accessible to newcomers.
“DEX+ bridges the gap between the efficiency of a centralized exchange and the freedom of a decentralized one. The lack of a user-friendly interface and high transaction fees remain significant barriers to the mass adoption of DEX trading. MEXC aims to address these issues with DEX+, offering a CEX-like trading experience while maintaining on-chain access to assets. Users can smoothly switch between CEX and DEX+,” comments MEXC COO Tracy Jin.
MEXC provides custodial management of DEX+ users’ wallets. The exchange offers proof of reserves for user assets at a 1:1 ratio.
Additionally, MEXC collaborates with the Web3 company GoPlus, which verifies the security of trading pairs on the platform. According to exchange representatives, this enhances user confidence and allows them to trade with greater peace of mind.
