Binance: Trading, deposits, and withdrawals are continuing smoothly. Since Binance Labs’ early-stage support for the project was noted and no systemic risk was observed, no restriction or monitoring label has been applied.
Bithumb (Korea): After the incident, Bithumb has placed HEMI under the “Investment Warning” status.
Review Timeline: There is an official decision window between October 5 and 9, 2026. The team is in the process of submitting the technical patch and security reports to the exchange.
Upbit: Upbit canceled its listing decision due to strict consumer protection laws in Korea.

4. New Staking and Reward Model (veHEMI)
Release Date: Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 18:00 KST (15:00 UTC).
Speaker: Maxwell Sanchez (Co-founder & Chief Architect at Hemi Labs).
Economic Model:
veHEMI (Vote-Escrowed HEMI): Users who lock their tokens on-chain gain a share of network revenues, emission rewards, and governance (voting) rights.
Price Impact: Unlike flexible staking on Binance, on-chain locking can reduce circulating supply, potentially lowering sell pressure.
