Premature TokenFi (TOKEN) listing

The controversy erupted when BitGet exchange, against the wishes of the FLOKI team, listed the TokenFi project prematurely, resulting in the trading of a counterfeit version of the TOKEN.

The FLOKI team claims they had explicitly requested all exchange partners to delay the listing of TokenFi until a DAO vote was conducted, a request that BitGet allegedly disregarded.

Accusations and counterclaims surface

FLOKI’s response to BitGet’s actions was swift, as they took to social media to highlight their dissatisfaction. They accused BitGet of facilitating the trading of fake tokens, resulting in a staggering $50 million trading volume within a 48-hour period.

Additionally, FLOKI claimed that BitGet confessed to requiring a billion TokenFi tokens to meet user withdrawal demands and cover their financial shortcomings.

Following the recent developments, BitGet today announced it was delisting and buying back the version of TokenFi (TOKEN) it had listed. However, BitGet proposed purchasing these tokens at a significant discount from the market price, drawing criticism from the FLOKI team.

Investor confidence dwindles as FLOKI price plummets

The fallout from the dispute has had a tangible impact on FLOKI’s value, with the price plummeting as investor confidence wavers.

The contentious nature of the listing has raised doubts about the credibility of the TokenFi project and has instigated a reevaluation of the FLOKI team’s ability to manage such issues effectively.
