Quick Take
- WAGMI Games token climbed 115% in July after mobile game traction and anime-driven lore rollout
- WEMIX up 148% as ROM: Golden Age hits 1.8 million pre-registrations ahead of August release
- Both ecosystems focus on cross-media content, DeFi features, and direct community engagement
Two gaming tokens are gaining traction again. WAGMIGAMES and WEMIX have both more than doubled over the past month, driven by new game releases, steady community activity, and wider market recovery. July marked a shift in momentum after a long stretch of low engagement across the sector.
WAGMI Games has pushed out a mobile game, a Webtoon series, and a one-minute anime trailer. WEMIX is powering up for a major MMORPG launch called ROM: Golden Age. Both tokens are up triple digits in the last 30 days.
WAGMI Moves Through Community Content
WAGMI Defense, a free-to-play mobile strategy game, has been the centerpiece of WAGMI’s growth. Available on iOS and Android, the game features short real-time battles between players using custom decks. Players place sci-fi characters on the battlefield to destroy enemy towers and collect resources called NiFe.
The card system has multiple rarity levels, upgradable characters, and tradeable NFTs. The format is familiar to anyone who’s played Clash Royale, but WAGMI has built out a larger world around it. Its NiFe Wars comic is live on Webtoon with over 100,000 views. An anime-style trailer has passed one million views. There are plans to pitch the IP for a full animated series.
Founder Scott Herman posted that the team has been operating without VC funding and that no founders have taken salaries. He credited the growth to a tight-knit five-person founding group that handles everything from development to marketing. He also said the team checks community DMs daily and built early traction from direct engagement.
WAGMI’s token is now trading around $0.0000056 with a $10.98 million market cap and just over $600,000 in daily volume. The fully diluted valuation sits at $13.38 million. The company has also rolled out merchandise and collectibles alongside the mobile game.
WEMIX Gains Traction with ROM
The WEMIX platform from Korean developer Wemade saw its biggest surge of the year following pre-launch activity for ROM: Golden Age. The game has passed 1.8 million pre-registrations ahead of its global release in August.
ROM is an MMORPG with mobile-first controls and traditional siege-based gameplay. It adds DeFi-style mechanics using the WEMIX token ecosystem. Players can stake tokens, join lottery events, and participate in token swaps through WEMIX PLAY.
Recent events have included a Buddy Boost Lottery with 14,000 Play Tokens and 3,000 CROM up for grabs. A pre-distribution of CRYSTAL Tokens sold out during the first daily window. Players who staked early earned access at discounted rates. Swaps between CROM and USDC.e are handled directly in the WEMIX app.
The token’s 30-day rise has brought it back near $1, with a $446 million market cap and $26 million in daily trading volume. The WEMIX token sits within the top 150 crypto assets, giving it more liquidity and broader exposure than most gaming-focused coins.
Regulatory Momentum Could Push the Next Wave
The sharp gains from WAGMI and WEMIX are landing at a moment of broader crypto resurgence. Recent US legislation, including the Clarity Act and GENIUS Act, has provided more legal certainty for developers and asset issuers. Institutional flows into Bitcoin and Ethereum are also beginning to trickle downstream into application-layer projects, including gaming.
As attention returns to playable economies and tokenized game systems, the groundwork laid by studios like WAGMI Games and platforms like WEMIX may have arrived at the right time. These tokens didn’t surge in isolation. They moved alongside a market that is starting to open back up.
