# MEXC coverage

First to list, first to move

MEXC lists tokens faster than any major exchange. A new token can go live on MEXC 24 to 48 hours before it appears on Binance or Bybit. This speed creates a unique dynamic: early price discovery happens on MEXC, and the resulting volatility generates some of the widest spreads in the market.


- Type: centralized exchange
- Markets monitored: spot, futures
- Pairs covered: 1700+
- Spread types: spot/futures, spot/spot, futures/futures

### Why it matters for spread detection

MEXC's early listings mean tokens trade at wildly different prices across venues during the first hours. A token listed on MEXC spot at $0.045 might launch on Bybit futures at $0.052 two days later. Umbra detects these cross-venue spreads the moment a new pair goes live on a second exchange.

### What makes it different

Zero maker fees on spot mean you can place limit orders on MEXC without any execution cost, making it the cheapest leg in most arbitrage structures.

### Features

- Fastest token listing among major CEX
- Zero maker fees on spot
- 1700+ spot trading pairs
- High-volatility altcoin futures
