The milestone listing propels WEMIX's native coin into Western markets including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia
SINGAPORE, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WEMIX, the Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem developed by gaming giant WEMADE, today announced that its native coin (WEMIX) has been officially listed on Kraken, one of the world's longest-standing, most liquid and secure cryptocurrency exchanges. Trading is scheduled to commence on 7 July 2026, allowing Kraken's global user base to deposit, withdraw, and trade WEMIX against the USD.
Listing on Kraken represents a pivotal shift in liquidity and market exposure for WEMIX. While WEMIX has historically maintained an entrenched position within South Korea, South America, and regional Asian markets, this integration into Kraken vastly expands its global reach. It opens access for Western institutional and retail investors across regions including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia, which will serve as a base for international users interacting with WEMIX's extensive digital economy.
Shane Kim, CEO of WEMIX and Vice President of WEMADE, said: “Aligning with partners who share our commitment to compliance and security is paramount. Given Kraken's reputation, we are honored to collaborate with them as we scale our market reach, establish a strategic foothold in the U.S. — the world's largest financial market — alongside other key Western regions, and evolve into a truly global blockchain ecosystem.”
As WEMIX sets its sights on scaling its Real-World Asset (RWA) initiatives, securing this major listing by tapping into the immense capital pool of the biggest financial market in the world also significantly elevates WEMIX's global visibility, enables deeper liquidity, and positions the ecosystem to attract a vast new wave of participants.
WEMIX's listing on Kraken comes amid its parent company's aggressive expansion across fintech, cross-border payments, and the RWA market. Along with upcoming AAA game launches designed to solidify its market leadership and deepen the WEMIX Web3 gaming ecosystem, WEMADE recently launched StableNet, Korea's first dedicated Layer-1 blockchain for KRW-backed stablecoins, and established the Global Alliance for KRW Stablecoin (GAKS). Key alliance members include Web3 behemoths such as Chainlink, Chainalysis, and CertiK.
“Bolstered by massive infrastructure leaps like StableNet and the GAKS alliance, WEMADE is building the future of Web3 gaming and its convergence with fintech. Now, cementing our footprint in the Western financial ecosystem further proves that WEMIX, our Web3 arm, is built for the global stage,” Kim added.
Beyond its milestone listing on Kraken, WEMIX remains committed to securing further high-profile exchange integrations, systematically driving global liquidity, and expanding access for its growing international community.
