As the crypto landscape matures, exchanges are evolving beyond their role as digital marketplaces. They're becoming ecosystem architects by fueling innovation, funding developers, and bridging the divide between traditional finance and decentralized tech.

Leading this transformation is MEXC, which is now doubling down on its commitment to Web3 with a $30 million initiative to nurture global blockchain talent.

In an exclusive conversation, Tracy Jin, Chief Operating Officer of MEXC, shared how the fastgrowing global exchange is positioning itself in a rapidly shifting industry—through ecosystem investments, regulatory foresight, and strategic insight into the real-world asset (RWA) and mass adoption of crypto.

How MEXC supports Web3 Builders

At the heart of MEXC’s strategy is IgniteX, a $30 million fund launched to accelerate the growth of emerging Web3 talent. “We believe the future of Web3 depends on the people building it,” said Jin. The program provides scholarships, blockchain education, hackathons, technical mentorship, and accelerators for startups—particularly in decentralized infrastructure, fintech, and blockchain-AI convergence.

“We don’t care where you are, if you have a good idea and it solves a real-world problem that you’re solving, we want to be there,” she added. This approach reflects MEXC’s broader commitment to being more than an exchange: it wants to be an active catalyst in real-world innovation.

Working and Scaling with Regulation

With regulation tightening across major regions, Jin emphasized MEXC’s proactive stance: “We’re not waiting to react. We’re working closely with regulators to align our operations, compliance teams, and legal infrastructure.”

She believes regulatory clarity will drive a healthier market: filtering out bad actors, strengthening institutional trust, and accelerating the adoption of tokenized assets. Exchanges won’t just be trading venues. Rather, exchanges will be compliance partners which will function as education hubs, and infrastructure providers.

She also urged both institutional and retail participants to prioritize fundamentals: real backing, clear regulatory alignment, and visible, accountable teams. With bold funding moves, regulatory foresight, and sharp market insight, MEXC under Tracy Jin’s leadership is becoming more than an exchange. By putting Web3 builders first, MEXC Ventures is becoming a backbone of the future crypto economy and ecosystem.
