What the MEXC sign-up bonus pays
What the MEXC bonus is and which steps count
MEXC pays the new-user reward as a futures bonus of up to $60. It sits in your futures account and works like extra trading money: it can pay margin, trading fees and funding fees on USDT-M futures.
Three things count toward it. Your account has to pass Primary KYC. Everything you deposit in the 7 days after your first deposit is added up, and the total has to reach 100 USDT. Then one USDT-M futures position, opened and closed, triggers the payout.
The bonus itself can't be withdrawn, but profit you make while trading with it is yours to take out. Its expiry date is shown next to it in the futures account. Leave it there until you've used it, because moving money out of the futures account early cancels whatever bonus is left.
The $60 is an "up to" figure. MEXC runs the referral reward in rounds, and the invite page shows the current amount when you open it.
Is 48GED still working?
Yes. This page was checked on 24 September 2026 against MEXC's official invite page, which showed the $60 offer that day. 48GED is the site owner's own code, taken from a MEXC account that is in active use.
The amounts, time limits and conditions above come from MEXC's own referral terms. Anything MEXC doesn't state itself isn't on this page.
MEXC invite code vs referral link: is there a difference?
No. Both attach the same referral to your new account. The link opens the registration form with 48GED already filled in, and typing 48GED into the Referral Code (Optional) box on mexc.com gives exactly the same result.
Timing is what matters. MEXC links the referral at the moment the account is created, and there's no option to add a code later. MEXC also gives each new user one new-user reward across all its events, so you receive the one from whichever event pays out first.
What MEXC is
MEXC is a crypto exchange founded in 2018. People mostly choose it for its very large list of coins: new and small tokens often appear on MEXC long before bigger exchanges list them. You can buy coins on the spot market, trade futures, copy other traders or run a trading bot.
Some countries can't open an account at all, among them the US, the UK and Canada. MEXC's user agreement has the full list.
What the person who shared the code gets
The account behind 48GED earns a share of the trading fees you pay, advertised by MEXC at up to 40%. MEXC pays that out of its own fee income, so your fees are the same as with any other sign-up.
MEXC referral code questions
What is the MEXC referral code?
It's 48GED. Paste it into the Referral Code (Optional) field on the MEXC sign-up form, or use the link on this page, which fills it in automatically.
Can I add the MEXC referral code after signing up?
No. MEXC links the referral when the account is created. If you already have an account, the new-user reward isn't available to you.
Is the MEXC code legit?
48GED is a personal code from a real MEXC account, and it's applied through MEXC's own sign-up form. MEXC pays the bonus under its own referral terms.
How much do I need to deposit?
100 USDT, added up over the 7 days after your first deposit. You also need to make one futures trade.
Is the bonus real money?
It's a futures bonus. You can trade with it and pay fees with it, and the profits you make with it can be withdrawn. The bonus itself can't.
