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 Are there any requirements for the base APR?
The base APR has no position or trading requirements. Simply transfer a supported asset to your Futures account to participate. Some products have a minimum principal requirement, and interest only begin once your balance meets it. No interest accrue while your balance is below the threshold. Please refer to the product page for the latest minimum principal and APR.
2.2 Is there a principal cap for the base APR?
Yes. Only balance up to the cap earns the base APR. Any amount above the cap does not accrue interest. Please refer to the product page for the latest cap and rules.
2.3 Why can I see a product but not participate in it?
Futures Earn products have separate visibility and eligibility requirements. Meeting the visibility requirements allows you to view the product. If it is shown as not yet active, you do not currently meet the eligibility requirements and cannot participate.
3. Principal and Position Value Calculations
3.1 What is principal?
Principal refers to the wallet balance in your Futures account and is used to calculate your interest. Some products have a minimum principal requirement, and interest only begin once your balance reaches the minimum. Please refer to the product page for the latest requirements.
3.2 What is the difference between interest-bearing principal and position value?
Futures Earn calculates interest based on the asset balance in your Futures account. Position value is only used to determine your bonus APR tier and does not affect the interest-bearing principal.
3.3 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.
3.4 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.

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 a minimum principal requirement applies, interest only begin once your balance meets it. Without an open position, you will not receive any position-based bonus interest.
7. Why Was My Futures Earn Automatically Disabled?
