Impact analysis
The confirmed operational effects are confined to MEXC. From 04:00 UTC on Oct 26, 2026, users cannot deposit, withdraw or spot-trade VELODROME on the exchange, and cannot deposit or withdraw AERO, although AERO spot trading remains available during the merge. Holders of either token in MEXC accounts are within the stated support scope, and MEXC says it will assist with technical issues that may arise. The ratios are fixed in the announcement at 1:0.044 for VELODROME into AERO and 1:1 for the AERO swap. Two timing rules carry direct consequences: tokens deposited after the deposit closure will not be swapped, and old-contract AERO and VELODROME deposits will not be supported after the swap completes. The source does not describe effects on users holding these tokens outside MEXC or on other venues. This content is not investment or trading advice.
What the announcement does not say
The source does not state when the swap will be completed, when AERO deposits and withdrawals will reopen, or how users should handle balances during the closure. It also does not explain what happens to tokens deposited after the closure beyond saying they will not be swapped, and it gives no detail on the project-side merge beyond pointing to the project team's announcement. This content is not investment or trading advice.
Risk notes
- Tokens deposited after the Oct 26, 2026, 04:00 UTC deposit closure will not be swapped, per the announcement.
- After the swap completes, MEXC will not support deposits of old AERO or VELODROME tokens; the source advises confirming token type before depositing.
- The announcement does not state when the swap completes or when AERO deposits and withdrawals resume, so users cannot plan around a confirmed reopening time from this source alone.
