Crypto exchange MEXC is offering first-time users a chance to earn free USDT through a new $200,000 P2P airdrop, as part of a promotion aimed at bringing new users onto its peer-to-peer trading platform.
The event began on Jan. 4, 2026, at 11:00 UTC and will remain open until Jan. 31 at 16:59 UTC. Participation is limited strictly to users who have never previously made any kind of deposit on MEXC and who complete their first-ever deposit through the exchange’s P2P marketplace during the campaign period.
To be eligible, users must first opt in by clicking the “Register Now” button on the official event page. Registration alone is not enough. After signing up, participants are required to make their first P2P deposit on MEXC and reach a net deposit amount of more than $100 within the event window.
Users who complete both steps within seven days of registration unlock a fixed 10 USDT airdrop. Rewards are drawn from a shared pool worth $200,000 and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning not all participants are guaranteed to receive an airdrop if the pool is exhausted.
Once the event ends, rewards will be credited directly to eligible users’ Spot wallets. MEXC states that distribution will take place within 14 calendar days following the conclusion of the campaign, with most payouts expected to be processed within five business days.
The promotion puts the spotlight on MEXC’s P2P trading platform, which allows users to buy cryptocurrencies using local currencies, customized pricing, and a variety of payment methods. Through the P2P marketplace, users can purchase assets such as USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, Dogecoin, and Solana, all with zero P2P trading fees.
MEXC also highlights security as a core feature of its P2P offering, citing round-the-clock monitoring and an internal anti-fraud system designed to protect both buyers and sellers during transactions.
Not all users who participate will qualify for rewards. Participants who withdraw funds within 24 hours of meeting the deposit requirements will be disqualified. The same applies to users who have previously received rewards from other MEXC P2P promotions, as well as those who fail to complete their first-ever deposit through the P2P channel.
The exchange noted that only main accounts are eligible for the campaign. Sub-accounts cannot participate independently, and any activity associated with sub-accounts will be consolidated under the main account for eligibility checks and final calculations.
All participants are subject to MEXC’s internal risk review before rewards are distributed. Any form of abnormal or abusive behavior, including creating multiple accounts, using false or third-party identity information, manipulating trading data, or engaging in other prohibited activities, may result in immediate disqualification and forfeiture of rewards.
MEXC also reminded users that digital asset markets are highly volatile and that participation in promotional campaigns does not eliminate the risks associated with crypto trading. The exchange reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the event at any time and retains final authority over the interpretation and execution of the promotion’s rules.
