New Product Official Launch


MEXC Exchange today announced the official listing of EWY Stock Index USDT-Margined Perpetual Contract, providing investors with an efficient and convenient channel to access the Korean stock market. The product officially opens for trading on March 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8), supporting up to 20x leverage, empowering investors to precisely capture trading opportunities in the Korean market.

EWY ETF: Gateway to the Korean Market

EWY (iShares MSCI South Korea ETF) is an exchange-traded fund listed in the United States that specifically tracks the performance of the Korean stock market. The ETF comprises Korea's most representative large-cap companies, including globally renowned industry leaders such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG Chem, and SK Hynix.

Through MEXC's EWY futures contract, investors can conveniently participate in Korean stock market price movements without directly purchasing Korean stocks or U.S. ETF shares, enjoying a more flexible trading experience.


Product Features and Advantages


Flexible Margin Modes


MEXC EWY Contract supports both Cross and Isolated margin modes, meeting the needs of investors with different risk preferences:

  • Cross Margin Mode: All available funds in the account serve as margin, making it suitable for experienced traders
  • Isolated Margin Mode: Allocates fixed margin to individual positions, effectively controlling single-trade risk

High Leverage Trading

The product offers up to 20x leverage, allowing investors to control larger trading positions with less capital, improving capital efficiency. However, it's important to note that high leverage amplifies both gains and losses, and investors should carefully select leverage ratios based on their circumstances.

USDT-Margined Settlement

Using USDT as both margin and settlement currency avoids additional foreign exchange risk, making trading profits and losses more transparent and intuitive.

Trading Functions and Tools

MEXC Futures Platform provides comprehensive trading features for EWY contracts:

  • Multiple Order Types: Supports limit orders, market orders, and trigger orders to meet different trading strategy needs
  • Professional Charting Tools: Integrated TradingView charts providing multi-timeframe candlesticks and technical analysis indicators
  • Real-time Market Data: Provides order book, latest trades, funding rate, and other key market information
  • Copy Trading Feature: Novice investors can follow experienced traders
  • Grid Trading Strategy: Automated trading tools to capture profits from market volatility

According to the MEXC Official Announcement, investors should fully understand the relevant risks when using futures trading services:

  1. Leverage Risk: High-leverage trading may result in losses exceeding initial investment
  2. Market Risk: Stock index prices are affected by multiple factors including macroeconomics, policies, and market sentiment
  3. Technical Risk: Automated trading functions may fail due to network delays or system malfunctions
  4. Funding Rate: Perpetual contracts require periodic payment or receipt of funding rates

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


1. What is EWY?

EWY is the ticker symbol for iShares MSCI South Korea ETF, an exchange-traded fund listed in the United States that tracks Korean stock market performance. Its main holdings include major Korean listed companies such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG Chem, and SK Hynix.

2. When will the EWY contract be listed?

The EWY Stock Index USDT-Margined Perpetual Contract officially launches for trading on March 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM (UTC+8) on the MEXC platform.

3. What is the maximum leverage available?

MEXC's EWY contract supports up to 20x leverage. Investors can choose leverage ratios between 1x and 20x based on their risk tolerance.

4. What's the difference between Cross Margin and Isolated Margin modes?

  • Cross Margin Mode: Uses all available balance in the account as margin, with all positions sharing account funds. If one position faces liquidation, profits from other positions can help avoid it.
  • Isolated Margin Mode: Allocates separate fixed margin to each position, with different positions independent of each other. Liquidation of one position doesn't affect others, providing more controlled risk.

5. What is the funding rate?

The funding rate is a mechanism unique to perpetual contracts used to anchor contract prices to spot prices. When the contract price is higher than spot, longs pay funding rate to shorts; vice versa. Funding rates are settled every 8 hours.

6. What do I need to trade EWY contracts?

You need:

  • A verified account on MEXC
  • Sufficient USDT in your futures account as margin
  • Understanding of basic futures trading rules and risks

7. What is the minimum trading quantity?

For specific minimum trading quantities and contract specifications, please refer to the EWY Contract Trading Rules page or contact MEXC customer service for detailed information.

8. What should novice traders pay attention to?

Recommendations for novice investors:

  • Start with small amounts and use lower leverage (e.g., 2-5x)
  • Fully understand futures trading mechanisms and risks
  • Consider using the Copy Trading feature to follow experienced traders
  • Set stop-loss and take-profit orders to control risk
  • Don't invest more than you can afford to lose

9. Can I trade 24/7?

Yes, EWY Perpetual Contract supports 24/7 trading, but pay attention to funding rate settlement times and market liquidity changes.
