The ETF comprises Korea's most representative large-cap companies, including globally renowned industry leaders such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG Chem, and SK Hynix.
Through MEXC's EWY futures contract, investors can conveniently participate in Korean stock market price movements without directly purchasing Korean stocks or U.S. ETF shares, enjoying a more flexible trading experience.
MEXC EWY Contract supports both Cross and Isolated margin modes, meeting the needs of investors with different risk preferences:
