FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THEO Now Trading on MEXC as Seven-Day 60,000 USDT Airdrop+ Event Begins
THEO / USDT opens today at 13:00 UTC, giving Autheo's native utility coin its first centralized market alongside three decentralized markets on Base and Robinhood Chain.
SHERIDAN, Wyo. — October 1, 2026 — Autheo today confirmed that THEO, the native utility coin of the Autheo Internet Operating System, begins trading on MEXC at 13:00 UTC against USDT. It is THEO's first centralized market, on an exchange serving more than 40 million users across more than 170 countries and regions.
The listing completes the sequence Autheo announced on September 24. THEO now trades in four markets: Hydrex on Base, two Uniswap pools on Robinhood Chain, and the MEXC order book. Enflux, the quantitative trading and liquidity firm Autheo engaged across its venues, supports THEO liquidity on MEXC as it does on Base and Robinhood Chain.
"Last week we announced MEXC. Today it is open," said Todd Mortenson, Founder and Managing Director of Autheo. "But access is only the beginning. We are widening access to THEO as the infrastructure that gives it utility comes online. A listing lets more people reach the economic layer of Autheo. What we ship next is what gives them a reason to use it."
Last week demonstrated convergence. Today expands distribution. What follows is utility.
What Sits Behind the Listing
Autheo Mainnet has been live since May 14, 2026, and is secured by 151 active validator nodes as of September 30, 2026. Today THEO is used for network transaction fees and validator staking. Autheo is building the components intended to extend that utility into compute, storage, networking, and AI execution, including Autheo DevHub, the Autheo Mesh, and the Autheo Infrastructure Marketplace, which Autheo plans to release progressively over the coming months.
MEXC Airdrop+ Event
To coincide with the listing, MEXC is running a seven-day THEO Airdrop+ event from September 30 at 13:00 UTC through October 7 at 13:00 UTC, with 60,000 USDT in total rewards:
- 39,000 USDT — New-user deposit and trading rewards.
- 5,000 USDT — THEO Spot Trading Challenge.
- 10,000 USDT — Futures bonuses for qualifying new users.
- 6,000 USDT — Referral rewards.
Registration on MEXC's event page is required. MEXC's terms govern eligibility, thresholds, and distribution.

THEO Staking
Separately from MEXC, THEO holders can stake from a wallet through Autheo's THEO staking pool on Robinhood Chain, powered by Team Finance. Reward and unstaking terms are set by the pool contract and displayed in the interface. The pool is scheduled to close on October 10, 2026. It is not a service of MEXC or of Robinhood's brokerage application.
