Crypto Exchanges Chip Away at Traditional Stock Market Barriers
MEXC, a leading global multi-asset trading platform, has launched the 'Trade Wall Street Without Walls' campaign to break traditional barriers to stock market participation. The initiative highlights how crypto-native trading is reducing access, fees, and limited trading hours.
A recent survey by MEXC and CoinGecko found that 74.2% of surveyed users with traditional finance experience had shifted some or all of their traditional asset trading activity to crypto exchanges. Users cited limited trading hours (58.8%) and high fees (54.7%) as top frustrations with traditional brokerages.
The 'Trade Wall Street Without Walls' campaign brings this shift to life through five traditional market 'walls': the Access Wall, Fee Wall, Time Wall, Capital Wall, and Direction Wall. These walls represent common constraints that have historically shaped retail participation in stock markets.
