STMX has experienced dramatic price fluctuations in the past few hours. The coin spiked abruptly to $0.015 before dropping to $0.0081 and lost almost half of its value within minutes.

The spike and fall have raised suspicions of market manipulation for the token, with most of the trading volume coming from Upbit, South Korea's largest exchange. According to CoinMarketCap, Upbit accounted for 72% of the total STMX spot trading volume, which reached $495 million at its peak.
