According to data from the crypto and blockchain education platform MEXC Learn, crypto users’ most curious question is, “What is Futures Trading?”
The adoption of the futures trading strategy, which is used to hedge risks and speculate on price movements in financial markets, has been both rapid and deep in the cryptocurrency sector. While the total crypto futures market volume in 2023 was $32 trillion, derivatives trading volumes surged by 86.5% to a record $6.18 trillion in March 2024 alone.

The record is due to the increase in transaction volumes and the new users entering futures trading. This view is supported by the fact that the top three most-read articles on the MEXC Learn portal, which offers over 300 educational pieces on crypto trading, are related to futures trading.
The highest-read content on the portal was “What is Futures Trading,” which had more than 120,000 views in the last six months. The other most searched titles were “Guide to Futures Trading Operation” and “Explanation of Terminology on the Futures Trading Page,” respectively.
According to data from MEXC Learn, which was revamped in July, users are showing significant interest in educational videos, finding them easier to consume compared to written content. While more complex financial instruments, such as derivatives, receive considerable attention in written materials, the “Beginner’s Guide” category, which allows beginners to grasp the basics of crypto, remains the most popular among users.
Russian and Turkish Education Contents Follow English
Another striking piece of data from the education portal is the distribution of users who speak different languages. MEXC Learn, which offers educational content in 8 languages — English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Vietnamese, Russian, and Ukrainian — suggests that 44.8% of users prefer to watch educational content in English. The other most preferred content languages are Russian (19.1%) and Turkish (13.2%).

It is noticeable that users who visit the MEXC Learn education portal, regardless of their language or experience in the crypto world, focus on some basic sections.
Users need a resource that provides clear explanations and theoretical foundations for blockchain and crypto basics, and Blockchain Encyclopedia stands out as one of the most popular categories. Additionally, the prominence of the Market Insights category reveals that users want to make more accurate investment decisions by following market dynamics and industry news in real time.
Users are seeking simpler explanations for complex concepts and more accessible presentations of advanced topics. As a result, MEXC Learn’s Video Tutorials section, which helps reduce the learning curve, has become one of the most requested training categories by users.

MEXC emphasizes that users attach great importance to a comprehensive search function that supports multilingual input and quickly displays information. The education platform’s statistics show that the Featured Content section, curated by professional editorial teams, and the Hot Topics tag, which facilitates effective content aggregation, are also becoming increasingly important.
Turning Learning Into Earnings
Following the implementation of the “Play-to-Earn” model in blockchain-based games, users have shown increased interest in models where they are not merely passive participants but active contributors and winners interacting with the digital economy.
The “Learn to Earn” initiative on the MEXC Learn portal aims to redefine crypto education in a similar fashion. Users participating in Learn to Earn events can earn rewards simply by reading relevant content and directly participating in a quiz conveniently placed below the article.
To extend the user rewards model, MEXC has completed a campaign offering 200 USDT futures bonuses to users of each of the eight supported languages, bringing the total futures bonus to 1,600 USDT.
The growing interest in crypto trading, particularly in futures, reflects a broader trend of users seeking knowledge and opportunities in this dynamic sector. As users continue to explore the complexities of the crypto market, platforms that offer clear, multilingual content and innovative “earn” models will become indispensable.
