The Solana ecosystem continues to dominate the current market cycle, and MEXC is thrilled to bring another top-tier project to our users first.
We are excited to announce the Global Debut of RateX (RTX) on MEXC Futures. This listing marks the first time traders can access liquid markets for the RTX token anywhere in the world.
Trading for the RTX/USDT perpetual contract officially opens on December 19, 2025, at 17:10 (UTC+8).
In this guide, we explore why RateX is being hailed as the “Pendle of Solana” and the details of this exclusive listing.
What is RateX (RTX)?
RateX is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for interest rate trading built on the Solana blockchain. It introduces a novel mechanism: Leveraged Yield Trading.
The Core Problem
In DeFi, yields fluctuate wildly. A lending protocol might offer 5% APY today and 20% tomorrow. Until now, users could only passively accept these rates.
The RateX Solution
RateX allows users to trade these yield fluctuations directly. By utilizing “synthetic interest rate swaps” (IRS), traders can:
- Long Yields: Bet that the interest rate of an asset (like JitoSOL) will go up.
- Short Yields: Hedge against falling rates to lock in a fixed return.
- Leverage: Unlike spot yield trading, RateX allows users to trade these views with high capital efficiency.
Why is RateX (RTX) a Big Deal?
The hype surrounding this global debut is driven by its formidable background and technical innovation.
- Binance Labs Backing: RateX was selected for the Binance Labs MVB 8 (Most Valuable Builder) accelerator program. Historically, projects in this cohort have performed exceptionally well due to the rigorous due diligence involved.
- Solana Hackathon Winner: RateX won the Grand Champion title at the Solana Renaissance Hackathon, validating its code quality and fit within the Solana ecosystem.
- First-Mover Advantage: While yield trading is popular on Ethereum (via Pendle), RateX is the first to bring a mature, leveraged version of this primitive to the high-speed Solana network.
