DeFi lending is poised to capture more institutional interest as tokenized RWAs are increasingly accepted as collateral for stablecoin loans, according to Binance Research.
The demand for compliant stablecoins is on the rise. To address this need, global crypto exchange MEXC recently launched zero-fee promotions for popular futures trading pairs. The move is designed to lower the barrier of entry to futures trading and empower traders to capitalize on rebounding market conditions. MEXC’s zero-fee campaign is one of the many ways the exchange has recognized user demand and addressed it with simple and innovative solutions. USDC Pairs Lead Q2 Trading Volume Growth According to the CoinGecko Q2 2025 Crypto Industry Report, Q2 set a new record in the stablecoin market cap at $243.1B (now at $288B), and saw a 24% increase in total crypto market cap. More specifically, the $USDC stablecoin grew by a whopping $1.4B in Q2 2025, signaling the market’s increasing demand for compliant stablecoins. As the name would suggest, compliant stablecoins refer to stablecoins that meet financial regulations. These regulations could be in the form of being under regulatory oversight, fully backed by cash or bonds, and regularly audited. Compared to Bitcoin and altcoins like Ethereum and Solana, stablecoin prices tend to be less volatile. These make them better-suited to trading, payments, and savings rather than speculating or investing. $USDT and $USDC are two of the largest stablecoins in terms of market capitalization. Between the two, the Tether-developed $USDT is more widely used and has a higher market cap ($168B+), while $USDC is better-known for its regulatory compliance and transparency. A Pair for Traders of Every Kind As the market shifted from finding the best meme coins in Q1 to investing in more mainstream crypto, MEXC introduced zero trading fees on select trading pairs. Each one has been carefully selected to not only meet stablecoin demand, but also to address various risk appetites and investment strategies. On the more mainstream side, there’s $ETH/$USDT. However, MEXC added $SUI/$USDC and $TON/$USDC, to cater to traders looking for up-and-coming pairs. Meanwhile, $HYPE/$USDC fills the need for more innovative projects, and the $POPCAT/$USDC trading pair is tailored for those willing to buy high-risk, high-reward crypto. It appears MEXC chose their zero-fee pairings wisely, considering each pair’s market share: $TON/$USDC: 42% $ETH/$USDT: 33% $HYPE/$USDC: 21% $ONDO/$USDC: 5% $POPCAT/$USDC: 5% In total, MEXC offers zero fees on 100 tokens on its exchange. Through the exchange’s futures trading market, you can bet on the future price of a cryptocurrency without actually owning that asset. Futures trading also allows you to use leverage, where you borrow funds to control a larger position with the actual amount of money you have. MEXC offers up to 500x leverage. This means if you have $10 and choose 500x leverage, you’ll be able to open a position size of $5K. ????Aside from stablecoins, you can also trade Ethereum futures on MEXC. Learn more about that in our roundup of the best Ethereum futures platforms. Fueling the Next Chapter of the Crypto Market Since 2018, MEXC has fulfilled its promise of being ‘Your Easiest Way to Crypto.’ With over 40M users in 170+ countries, it has given traders of every experience level a way to invest in digital assets simply, securely, and efficiently. Aside from its futures market, the exchange also has spot trading and P2P trading, among its offerings. It also has the MEXC MasterCard, which you can top up with your crypto balance and use anywhere in the world. With its latest zero-fee campaign on top futures pairs, MEXC has once again hit the mark and fueled the next chapter of the ever-growing cryptocurrency market.

Ethereum price has seen a lot of decline after hitting an all-time high above $4,900. This move saw the bears push the price back, resisting the campaign to hit $5,000. So far, the bears have remained in control, and it seems that this will be the case for a while, with technicals pointing toward a possible 10% crash that would send the price toward $4,000 again. Why Ethereum Price Is At Risk In an update to a previous analysis, Klejdi Cuni has forecasted a further decline for the Ethereum price, with bearish indicators being more prominent. The previous prediction, shared over the weekend, pointed out that the Ethereum price had been breaking down from a bearish triangle pattern. This had suggested a further move toward the $4,300 territory. Related Reading: Is XRP A Meme Coin? Analyst Reveals How Whales Are Playing The Game True to the forecast, the Ethereum price did indeed fall back, breaking below $4,300 briefly before bouncing again. This comes after the price broke down below the support at $4,490, putting the bears in charge of the Ethereum price once again. With the first part of the forecast fulfilled, then ETH could play out the full prediction from here. The crypto analyst had previously revealed that he expected the Ethereum price to suffer further drops; first to $4,335, then to $4,215, before finally landing at $4,081. This prediction was reiterated in the updated analysis, showing where the price could be headed next. Next on the list for the cryptocurrency is to test the resistance zone around $4,500. This has previously been a level at which the price was beaten back down, suggesting that a similar trend could play out. If the price does get rejected here, then it could signal a continuation of the bearish trend. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Active Addresses Crash Over 50% In 3 Months, What About SHIB Price? The analysis also ties in the performance of the Bitcoin price, which has continued to drive the entire market. So far, the Ethereum price has performed better during the recent market crash. However, if the Bitcoin price were to continue its decline, then the Ethereum price is likely to follow in the same direction. Add in the fact that the situation around the US dollar remains unclear, and the analyst sees a lot of risk during this time. There is also the possibility of the Ethereum price turning toward the positive once again. This has to do with the resistance at $4,650, serving as a make-or-break level. If the price is rejected from here, then it could mean more declines. However, if ETH bulls are able to reclaim it with strength, then it could serve as a bounce-off point for the next rally.

Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a 4% bounce from the lows to retest a crucial resistance level, which could determine whether a breakout or a breakdown is next. Meanwhile, an analyst suggested that BTC’s final leg up and cycle peak could come in the coming weeks. Related Reading: No Ethereum Rally Until Q4? Analyst Eyes Choppy September Before New Highs Bitcoin Key Attempts Key Level Reclaim Following its recent drop, Bitcoin is now attempting to break out of its local range high and reclaim the $111,000 zone as support. As September started, the flagship crypto retested the $107,000 range low before bouncing 4% to the local upper boundary. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that BTC has been trading in a descending channel on the 4-hour chart for the past two weeks. The cryptocurrency retested the pattern’s upper boundary, around $110,700, breaking above this area on Tuesday morning. To the market watcher, Bitcoin needs to close above $110,700 for a meaningful rebound, as a confirmed breakout above this level could set the stage for a retest of $113,500. On the contrary, failing to reclaim this resistance will likely reinforce bearish momentum and deepen the correction, the analyst warned, adding that “the SuperTrend indicator also aligns with this zone, maintaining a bearish posture at $110,700.” Meanwhile, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that Bitcoin is attempting to replicate the same playbook of the recent significant pumps. According to the chart, the flagship crypto has entered a corrective period following a new all-time high (ATH), displaying a falling wedge pattern before breaking out again. Based on this, the $108,000 level is a key area for the bulls as it serves as a crucial bounce point. Holding this level would “confirm BTC’s strength on the higher timeframe, showcasing a formidable price action with resistance flipping and retesting.” To Sjuul, Bitcoin is at a “critical juncture to keep playing the same tune,” and failing to maintain it would increase the risks of a bigger correction to the $98,000 level, where the Weekly EMA50 sits. BTC To Peak In Coming Weeks? Rekt Capital gave a higher timeframe perspective for the flagship crypto, highlighting that BTC has shown mixed signals after failing to close the week above the $109,000 level. This level previously served as the final weekly resistance before new ATHs, which suggests it could be the first technical signal of a bearish confirmation. Nonetheless, he asserted that while the weekly timeframe is “showing early signs of weakness, the Monthly chart tells a different story.” Notably, Bitcoin has held its Macro Range of $107,200-$116,000. Additionally, monthly candles have produced long downside wicks throughout the cycle, with deep retests often occurring before trend continuation. This suggests that the broader market structure remains intact despite weekly pressure. As this week progresses, the cryptocurrency could see heightened volatility, tapping the $104,000 on a wick. He stated that “If the Weekly timeframe confirms rejection from $107k and progresses bearish confirmation, that could be the trigger for such a Monthly wick.” In this case, “then the goal for price would be to then resynchronize with the Monthly Range before the Monthly Close is in” to maintain the macro structure and set the stage for one last leg up. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Spikes As Whales Add 260K ETH In 24 Hours The analyst also noted that the previous bull market lasted about 152 weeks, while this one is already 145 weeks into it. This could signal that there are only around seven weeks left if the current bull market were to repeat its previous performance. “If Bitcoin is going to peak in its Bull Market in mid-September/mid-October 2025 as per historical Halving cycles… That’s either two weeks away or 1.5 months away,” the analyst concluded.
