Animoca-backed Gamee confirms major exploit of token contracts
Quick Take Gamee confirmed that its GMEE token contracts on Polygon suffered an exploit that resulted in the theft of 600 million tokens. The Gamee token fell 64% over the past 24 hours, with the exploiter converting the stolen tokens into ETH and MATIC.
In an X post , Gamee reported that its Polygon GMEE deployer address appeared compromised via unauthorized GitLab access earlier today, leading to a large theft of tokens, which were subsequently converted to ETH and MATIC. The impacted tokens were valued at $15 million at the time of the incident.
“Over the next few hours, the exploiter exchanged the compromised tokens via various DEXs, impacting the GMEE token price across various exchanges,” Gamee said — clarifying that all unauthorized access to the token contracts has been secured.
The price of the GMEE token has dropped 64% over the past 24 hours to below $0.01, according to CoinGecko data .
“The exploit affected proprietary team token reserves only, and no community-owned assets have been compromised,” Gamee continued. “Gamee does not custody or manage any community-owned assets.”
Gamee added it would identify impacted users and explore a plan to support its "loyal community through this challenging period.”

Rescuing US Treasuries in "Soros Style"! From currency controls to interest rates, can Bessent beat the market?
"Bassent, a 'Soros disciple,' once assisted Soros in shorting the British pound and the yen and is renowned for 'discovering cracks.' Now, he is using the same market intuition to shift from offense to defense, attempting to suppress U.S. Treasury yields. Since the start of this year, he has repeatedly intervened: collaborating with Japan to intervene in the yen, hinting at a reduction in long-term bond issuance, and announcing a doubling of long-term bond buyback scale—earning him the reputation of 'the most active finance minister in market intervention in decades.' However, critics argue that such intervention cannot solve the fundamental issue of fiscal deficits."
