FAQ on Futures Earn
1. What Is Futures Earn?
Futures Earn is an Earn product designed for MEXC Futures users. Once enabled, eligible funds in your Futures account automatically earn daily interest without affecting your normal Futures trading, helping you efficiently grow your account value.
2. Futures Earn Interest Details and Eligibility
2.1 Is there any requirement to receive the 3.5% base APR?
No. The 3.5% base APR has no position or trading requirements. As long as you transfer supported assets into your Futures account, you can start earning interest immediately, with no entry threshold.
2.2 Is there a principal cap for the 3.5% base APR?
Currently, there is no principal cap for the 3.5% base APR. You can fully utilize your idle funds to earn interest. Please refer to the information displayed on the Futures Earn page for the most up-to-date rules.
3. Principal and Position Value Calculations
3.1 Why are the real-time principal and interest-bearing principal different?
The real-time principal reflects the wallet balance in your Futures account. The interest-bearing principal is calculated using the average value from multiple snapshots during the interest calculation period, ensuring fairness and accuracy in interest distribution.
3.2 Why does the estimated position value differ from the actual position value?
The estimated position value refers to the net position value of Futures pairs with the same underlying asset, excluding the USDCUSDT pair and Coin-M Futures. This value is updated in real time. For interest calculation purposes, the position value is determined based on the average of multiple snapshots taken during the interest calculation period.
Example: If a user holds: a 1 BTC long position in BTCUSDT (entry price: 100,000), and a 2 BTC short position in BTCUSDC (entry price: 110,000), then the position value is calculated as: abs (1 × 100,000 − 2 × 110,000) = 120,000 USDT
4. Impact of Futures Earn on Trading
4.1 Will enabling Futures Earn affect my Futures trading?
No. Futures Earn calculates interest based on your Futures account wallet balance and does not restrict any trading actions, including opening positions, closing positions, or placing orders. Your Futures trading and interest earnings operate independently.
4.2 Will closing or reducing positions affect my accrued interest?
Yes. Both the interest-bearing principal and position value will adjust according to changes in your positions, and your accrued interest will change accordingly. It is advised to plan your positions based on your trading strategy.
4.3 What happens if my position is liquidated?
Liquidated portions will no longer be included in the interest calculation. The remaining position will continue to be included, with interest calculated based on the remaining balance.
5. Supported Tokens and Interest Distribution
5.1 Which tokens does Futures Earn support?
Users can view the full list of supported tokens on the MEXC Futures Earn page. Supported tokens may be updated periodically based on market conditions.
5.2 How is interest calculated and distributed?
Interest is calculated daily and distributed to your Spot account the following day. You can review your accrued interest anytime.
5.3 Is the estimated APR fixed?
The estimated APR may be dynamically adjusted based on market conditions and platform rules. Actual interest is determined by the displayed values on the page. Users can check regularly for updates.
6. Position Value Calculation Rules
6.1 Which positions are included in Futures Earn position value calculations?
Only positions opened through standard Futures trading under the main account are included. Positions from Copy Trade, Grid Trading, Event Futures, and sub-accounts are not included in position value calculations.
6.2 If I have a Futures account balance but no positions, can I still earn interest?
Yes. Your Futures account balance can participate in Futures Earn and receive the base APR. However, if you do not hold any open positions, you will not receive any additional bonus APR based on position value.
7. Why Was My Futures Earn Automatically Disabled?
Futures Earn will be automatically disabled if your account triggers risk review measures (such as abnormal trading behavior or wash trading), or if your account falls under compliance restrictions. For user inquiries, contact MEXC Customer Service for further details.
8. What Is the Difference Between Futures Earn and Regular Earn Products?
