Event </strong>site direct hit</h2><div> </div><h3><strong style="font-weight:bolder">2.1 Main Stage Speech: Connecting Fragmented Financial Systems with Unlimited Opportunities</strong></h3><div> </div><div>As the core spokesperson of MEXC, Vugar Usi Zade delivered a keynote speech titled &#34;Bridging the Fragmented Financial System to Infinite Opportunities&#34; on the main stage. He pointed out that cryptocurrency is no longer an isolated asset class, and investors are turning their attention to diversified assets such as gold, silver, oil, and stocks.MEXC has become a bridge connecting traditional finance and the crypto world through its &#34;zero commission&#34; trading model and extensive coverage of over 3,000 digital assets.</div><div> </div><div>During an interview with Haberler.com during the conference, Usi Zade emphasized Turkey&#39;s strategic position. He stated that Turkey has the largest cryptocurrency market in the Middle East and North Africa, and Chainalysis data shows that its annual on-chain trading volume is close to $200 billion, four times that of the UAE. &#34;Turkey, with its unique geographical location, is standing at the crossroads between Europe and the East. If the right regulatory policies are implemented, it is fully capable of becoming an important financial center that attracts global investors.&#34;</div><div style="text-align:center"><img style="max-width:100%;height:auto" src="https://multilingual.mocortech.com/cms-content-file/2026-09-09/F20260909172608766QEGR66RAkEeLdL" /></div><div> </div><h3><strong style="font-weight:bolder">2.2 Yacht Seaside Side Events: High-end Private, Deep Connection</strong></h3><div> </div><div>On the evening of the first day of the conference, MEXC held an exclusive yacht side event on the Istanbul seaside.
