MEXC brings AI-powered copy trading to traders using ChatGPT and DeepSeek. (Shutterstock)The initiative, called AI-Masters Copy Trading, brings together several well-known AI models that will trade crypto perpetual futures markets in real time. Through the feature, users can automatically mirror the trades executed by these AI systems with a single click, removing the need to manually analyze markets or place orders themselves.
According to MEXC, the AI-Masters Copy Trading event began on December 30, 2025, and will run for 14 days until January 13, 2026. During the competition, participating AI models will trade six major perpetual futures pairs on the platform: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Binance Coin, Dogecoin and XRP.
MEXC said the participating models include ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, Qwen, Claude and Grok, along with two additional AI traders whose identities have not been disclosed. Each AI operates using its own trading logic and execution style, allowing users to observe and copy a range of different approaches under live market conditions.
The exchange said the AI models are designed to carry out the full trading process autonomously. This includes analyzing market movements, opening and closing positions, managing risk parameters and executing trades directly on the platform. Users who choose to copy an AI trader simply allocate funds and allow the system to replicate the AI’s trades in real time.
Unlike traditional copy trading features that rely on experienced human traders, MEXC’s new product places artificial intelligence at the center of strategy execution. The exchange said this approach is intended to give users access to automated trading strategies without requiring technical knowledge or prior experience with algorithmic trading tools.
MEXC has also added flexibility to the feature by allowing both forward and reverse copy trading. This means users can either follow an AI model’s positions directly or choose to take the opposite side of its trades, depending on their own trading preferences and risk appetite.
To encourage participation, MEXC has allocated a total reward pool of 18,000 USDT for users who take part in the AI-Masters Copy Trading event. Users who copy any participating AI model for at least one day during the event period will be eligible to share in the rewards, regardless of whether their copied trades are profitable.
In addition to the general participation rewards, MEXC said it will distribute an extra 2,000 USDT to users whose allocated copy trading amounts place them among the top 20 followers of the best-performing AI model. These incentives are designed to drive engagement while allowing users to experience AI-driven trading strategies firsthand.
The exchange positioned the launch as part of its broader effort to make advanced trading tools more accessible to a wider audience. By integrating AI-generated strategies directly into its copy trading interface, MEXC aims to lower the barriers that often prevent retail traders from engaging with automated or strategy-based trading products.
Throughout the 14-day event, users will be able to track the performance of each AI model in real time. MEXC said performance metrics such as profit and loss, trading activity and position changes will be updated continuously, giving users transparency into how each AI trader is performing under live market conditions.
At the end of the competition, MEXC is expected to publish final performance results for all participating AI models. The exchange has not confirmed whether the AI-Masters Copy Trading format will remain available after the event concludes but described the initiative as a demonstration of how artificial intelligence can be applied within live crypto trading environments.
As exchanges continue to expand their use of automation and copy trading, MEXC’s latest launch adds a new layer to its derivatives offering, giving users an alternative way to participate in crypto markets through AI-led strategies hosted directly on the platform.
