WEMIX token plunge 60% following the delisting decision by South Koreaโs five major fiat-enabled exchanges, citing unresolved trust and security issues.
The WEMIX token, issued by South Koreaโs Web3 gaming company Wemade, collapsed over 60% after local exchanges decided to delist it, marking the second such event. The decision, triggered by trust and security concerns, sent shockwaves through both the tokenโs market price and Wemadeโs stock. This article outlines the timeline, reasons, and aftermath of the latest WEMIX token plunge.
WEMIX Token Plunge Follows Delisting from Korean Exchanges
The WEMIX token plunge began when DAXA, an association representing Koreaโs top five fiat-enabled exchangesโUpbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopaxโannounced they would remove WEMIX from trading on June 2, 2025, with withdrawals ending July 2.
Within 15 minutes of the announcement, the tokenโs price crashed from $0.7225 to $0.2757 before stabilizing near $0.36, still down more than 50% from the prior day.
According to Yonhap News, this is the second time WEMIX has been delisted in South Korea. Back in December 2022, it was suspended after the reported circulating supply exceeded its public disclosure, making it the first native token in the country to face two delistings.
Security Lapses and Regulatory Concerns Reignite Investor Skepticism
The latest delisting follows a February 2025 security breach where hackers stole $6.2 million worth of WEMIX through the Play Bridge protocol. The foundation delayed disclosure by four days, citing a desire to avoid market panic. During that period, the token lost 40% of its value.
According to a statement from Bithumb, DAXA found the Wemix Foundationโs response to be inadequate, especially in terms of transparency and risk management. These unresolved issues contributed to the final decision to remove the token from trading platforms once again.
Wemadeโs Apology and Market Fallout
Following the news, the Wemix team issued a public apology, expressing disappointment but reaffirming its commitment to the ecosystemโs growth. The foundation confirmed it will proceed with a 10 billion KRW ($7.1 million) token buyback to stabilize price sentiment.
Meanwhile, parent company Wemade’s stock took a major hit, falling 17.45% to 23,650 won ($16.77) on the same day. Year-to-date, the stock is down 32.1%, showing broader investor skepticism following the WEMIX token plunge.
