MEXC has announced a $300 million Ecosystem Development Fund to mark its seventh anniversary, signalling a significant shift in its strategic direction.The announcement made during the Token2049 event in Dubai highlights MEXC’s ambition to evolve from a user-focused trading platform into a foundational force in blockchain infrastructure. The newly launched fund, managed by MEXC Ventures- the exchange’s investment arm- aims to accelerate blockchain innovation and ecosystem growth over the next five years. This initiative is designed to support early-stage technologies, public blockchains, wallets, stablecoins, and other decentralized tools shaping the future of Web3.According to Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC, the fund represents a commitment to offer more than just exchange services, positioning MEXC as a comprehensive ecosystem platform that addresses a wide range of needs for crypto industry participants.A key feature of the Ecosystem Development Fund is establishing an investment and cooperation linkage model among businesses within the MEXC ecosystem. It will establish criteria for selecting high-potential projects to receive support. The fund is designed to help these projects attract investment, increase visibility, and integrate into industry services, enhancing user experience. MEXC promotes innovation and adoption through greater collaboration among businesses, projects, and users across various markets and regions.The platform’s previous ecosystem efforts include a $16 million strategic investment in Ethena, a prominent stablecoin innovator, and the purchase of $20 million worth of Ethena’s synthetic dollar, USDe. Joint campaigns with Ethena have recently driven strong user engagement, showcasing MEXC’s commitment to supporting promising projects within its ecosystem.Notably, MEXC’s listing of MilkyWay (MILK), a new restaking protocol on the Celestia and Initia networks, focused on enhancing security and efficiency for modular blockchains through liquid staking. The listing is accompanied by a significant reward campaign for new and existing users, involving a large pool of MILK tokens and USDT.
