MEXC Ventures Boosts Blockchain Innovation with $66M Ethena Investment, Backs Crypto Ecosystem Growth
October 1, 2025
MEXC Ventures positions itself as a proactive ecosystem builder rather than just an investor, leveraging its exchange operations and strategic investments to foster innovation and support the long-term development of promising blockchain projects.
The firm plans to continue seeking innovative projects with strong fundamentals, aiming to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies through ongoing support and resource provision.
USDe, a synthetic stablecoin designed to mirror the dollar's value without traditional reserves, has seen its market cap grow from $5.3 billion in July to $14.65 billion, gaining traction despite the dominance of USDT with a $174.7 billion market cap.
MEXC Ventures has invested over $66 million in the Ethena ecosystem, including a recent $30 million commitment to its governance token ENA, reflecting confidence in Ethena's stablecoin innovation and synthetic dollar protocol.
Over the past two years, MEXC Ventures has actively deployed more than $100 million across 40 projects, supporting them with operational, marketing, and trading assistance to foster ecosystem growth.
The firm's investment strategy focuses on high-potential projects with strong fundamentals and innovative technology, utilizing MEXC's exchange infrastructure to provide market access, liquidity, and technical support.
MEXC Ventures emphasizes a comprehensive approach that includes investing in L1/L2 ecosystems, strategic M&A, incubation, and supporting active builders to drive innovation in the crypto space.
Support from MEXC Ventures extends beyond funding, offering operational help, marketing, trading access, liquidity, and technical expertise to help portfolio projects thrive.
The firm is also committed to supporting blockchain ecosystems like TON and Aptos, actively partnering with builders and innovators to foster ecosystem growth.
Additionally, there are emerging trends such as tokenizing private equity, exemplified by Republic's plans to tokenize Animoca Brands' private equity on Solana, enabling broader investor access and secondary trading.
