Use https://www.mexc.com/acquisition/custom-sign-up?shareCode=mexc-1QsQV (code mexc-1QsQV) and verify identity for fiat or P2P access.
Ways to Get USDT
P2P purchase with escrow, a fiat/card gateway, or a direct deposit of USDT from another wallet.
- P2P with escrow — follow release instructions only inside the app
- Fiat on-ramp where supported
- On-chain deposit from another exchange or wallet
Network Caution
When depositing or withdrawing USDT, match the network (TRC20, ERC20, or other) exactly on both ends. A wrong network can mean permanently lost funds.
Using USDT on MEXC
Trade spot pairs directly, or move funds into MEXC Futures and Kickstarter-style token launches once you understand the added risk.
Fees
P2P price already includes the seller's spread. Trading fees apply separately whenever you convert USDT into another asset.
What Makes MEXC Different Day to Day
MEXC's bigger differentiator is fast new-listing access — most people never look past the signup flow to notice it.
Layer that on top of the MX fee discount, and the cost picture on MEXC looks different from a generic exchange checklist.
MEXC Futures and Kickstarter-style token launches round out the product, but none of it replaces reading the live fee schedule before you size a trade.
- Watch for: buying a brand-new low-liquidity listing at an inflated first-hour price, then finding the order book too thin to exit cleanly
- Also watch for: assuming a token that listed first on MEXC will soon be everywhere else too, and over-sizing a position on that bet
- Security basics still apply: 2FA, withdrawal whitelist plus an anti-phishing code, with extra verification sometimes triggered for newly-listed withdrawal assets
