MEXC Launches a Hybrid Platform, Merges Centralized Exchanges’ Experience with the Freedom of DeFi

Decentralized exchanges (DEX) are becoming increasingly popular, but for most users, they are still inconvenient: you have to manually confirm each transaction, monitor fees, worry about errors and slow order execution. A new hybrid product from cryptocurrency exchange MEXC is aimed at solving these problems. DEX+, reported to be the industry’s first hybrid platform, combines the speed and liquidity of centralized exchanges (CEXs) with the transparency and decentralization of DEXs. 

The new product marks a major step towards making cryptocurrency trading more convenient and accessible for everyone, from beginners to experienced traders. Users can now trade tokens on decentralized exchanges directly through MEXC, without having to understand complex on-chain operations, connect external wallets, and manually confirm each transaction. DEX+ initially supports Solana, opening access to over 10,000 tokens on Raydium and Pumpfun. The platform will expand integration with other blockchains and DEXs in the future.

According to today’s press release, with DEX+, everything happens as quickly and conveniently as on a regular exchange, ensuring one-click trading without complicated confirmations and signatures. Users may also benefit from automatic liquidity management, getting the best prices without having to understand liquidity pools. All this is powered by enhanced security and a self-custody experience with no sacrifice for user experience.

MEXC COO Tracy Jin explained on the new product launch:

"The platform securely holds private keys within its infrastructure and has disabled private key export functionality to mitigate the risk of hacks and unauthorized access. This adds an important layer of security, particularly in a crypto ecosystem where breaches and hacks have become a growing concern.”

The launch of DEX+ coincides with a series of major changes in the crypto market. Tether recently saw record activity on the blockchain, with USDT transactions reaching a six-month high. This shows that users are looking for alternative solutions for trading and storing assets outside of centralized platforms.

Additionally, interest in hybrid trading models has grown in recent months amid regulatory pressure on centralized exchanges. MEXC offers a solution that gives users the freedom of DeFi, but still maintains the convenience of familiar exchange interfaces.

MEXC plans to expand DEX+ to other blockchains, as well as add new features, including automated trading strategies and support for NFT marketplaces.
