MEXC Launches ETH and SOL 7-Day Stake-to-Earn with Up to 20% APR
MEXC has launched an "ETH & SOL Stake-to-Earn" staking event offering 20% APR for a seven-day lock-up. The promotion opened on December 24, 2025 (10:00 UTC) and is available to users who have completed Primary KYC verification. Two product tiers target different portfolio sizes: ETH staking requires 2–35 ETH, and SOL staking requires 40–770 SOL. Both tiers carry the same seven-day lock and 20% APR. MEXC positions the event as part of its broader effort to expand passive-earning options alongside its zero-fee trading initiatives. The exchange, founded in 2018 and serving over 40 million users across 170+ countries, says it will continue launching user-focused activities. For full details, users are directed to MEXC’s official event page. Primary keywords: MEXC staking, ETH staking, SOL staking; secondary/semantic keywords: 20% APR, 7-day lock-up, stake-to-earn, zero-fee trading.
Neutral
The announcement is primarily a product promotion from a centralized exchange and is unlikely to materially shift market fundamentals for ETH or SOL. Staking offers can attract short-term demand as traders or holders move assets onto the platform to capture high APRs, which may modestly support token prices in the short term. However, the promotion’s seven-day lock-up and capped amounts (2–35 ETH, 40–770 SOL) limit scale and liquidity impact. Similar exchange staking promotions (e.g., past limited-time APR campaigns) have produced brief inflows and minor price bumps but no sustained rallies. Risks include increased exchange custody of tokens and potential sell pressure after lock-up ends if participants take profits. For traders: expect possible short-term buy-side pressure during the subscription window and slight volatility around lock-up expiries, but no clear long-term bullish signal unless MEXC scales the program or broader staking demand increases significantly.
