New Listings · Top Gainers · Spot & Futures Trading Overview
Data Period: February 18–24, 2026
Release Schedule: Weekly, every Thursday
Data Sources: MEXC Platform, CoinGecko
Last week, the crypto market trended lower amid volatility. MEXC listed a total of 9 new tokens, while Spot and Futures trading volumes on the platform remained high, with multiple trading activities running simultaneously. Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $63,000, extending weak investor sentiment driven by President Trump's tariff policies and AI-related concerns. Data shows Bitcoin has dropped nearly 30% in the past month, on track for its fifth consecutive monthly decline—the longest losing streak since 2018.
Gold and silver experienced sharp swings recently. Spot Gold fell consecutively on Feb 16–17, then rose for 5 straight days from Feb 18–23 amid US trade policies and Middle East geopolitical tensions. Silver saw even greater volatility, surging nearly 17% in total, including an over 8% jump on Feb 20. The silver rally triggered a limit-up in the SDIC Silver LOF. As of Feb 24, gold briefly surpassed $5,237 per ounce, and silver hit a high of $88.9 per ounce. Overall, gold and silver volatility provided trading opportunities while increasing market risks.
In such extreme market conditions, please prioritize risk management to avoid unexpected losses beyond your investment plan. MEXC offers GOLD and SILVER Perpetual Futures with support for two-way trading and efficient capital utilization. We also provide a series of tutorials, including Setting Take-Profit and Stop-Loss for Futures Trading and Placing Different Types of Futures Orders, to help investors open positions efficiently and affordably.

1. Market and Platform Overview
Last week, the cryptocurrency market trended downward amid volatility, with the market sentiment index stuck in Extreme Fear territory. Bitcoin and other major cryptos faced broad-based selling pressure. As of Feb 24, BTC fell over 4.5% in 24 hours, briefly breaking below $63,000; Ethereum dropped nearly 5%, falling below $1,900. The total crypto market cap dipped to $2.25 trillion, erasing over $48 billion, or roughly 330 billion yuan. Over 127,000 users were liquidated within 24 hours.
Meanwhile, on Feb 21, President Trump announced raising tariffs on many countries from 10% to 15%, triggering market turbulence. Investor concerns over AI returns, economic growth, employment outlook, and impacts on the software sector further fueled market anxiety. On Feb 23, the three major US stock indices fell sharply: Dow down 1.66%, S&P 500 down 1.04%, Nasdaq down 1.13%. Risk aversion rose, US Treasury yields declined, front-month futures gained 3.29%, and the US dollar strengthened. Bitcoin broke below $65,000, closing at $64,388.5. Escalating tariff tensions and geopolitical risks weakened risk sentiment, driving capital out of high-volatility assets and becoming a major drag. Analysts note Bitcoin's key support at $60,000 is under test; a break below could open the door to the $50,000 range.
In addition, gold and silver saw roller-coaster volatility. Spot Gold fell on Feb 16–17, then rallied for five consecutive sessions (Feb 18–23) as investors shifted to safe-haven assets amid US trade policy uncertainty and Iran tensions. Silver was even more volatile, surging nearly 17% with 4 sessions moving over 4%. It jumped 8.19% on Feb 20 with an amplitude above 9%. As of Feb 24 (17:30 UTC+8), gold hit above $5,237/oz and silver $88.9/oz. The sharp silver rally pushed the SDIC Silver LOF to a limit-up on Feb 24.
MEXC offers up to 500x leverage on Gold Perpetual Futures, making it a key tool for traders with higher risk appetite seeking maximum capital efficiency. The platform also features a simplified onboarding process, 24/7 uninterrupted trading, 0-fee advantages, and deep market liquidity, ensuring investors can quickly respond to geopolitical and macroeconomic shifts and seize potential profit opportunities.
