Immutable’s IMX Becomes First Major Gaming Token to Reach Full Circulating Supply

Immutable announced today that its native token, IMX, has reached full circulation after the completion of a multi-year unlock schedule, a milestone the company says makes IMX the first major gaming token to hit 100 percent circulating supply. With the last tranche released, Immutable confirmed there will be no more IMX tokens entering the market, a change that fixes the token’s total supply going forward and removes what the company called a lingering supply overhang.

That may sound like dry tokenomics, but for projects built on predictable incentives, it’s a meaningful moment. Token unlock schedules are often flagged by investors and builders as a source of uncertainty because future emissions can create downward pressure or force short-term selling. By finishing its unlock schedule, Immutable has removed a big unknown, positioning IMX as a more mature, transparent asset with a fixed, predictable supply.

That’s a practical win for builders: without future token inflation to worry about, teams can confidently model long-term incentive programs, plan treasury spending, and design grants or rewards without factoring in further dilution. For holders, it reduces one class of unknowns; for the company, it’s a statement about long-term sustainability and alignment with the broader community the platform serves.

Removing Future Supply Overhang

The milestone also shifts the narrative from token mechanics back to adoption and product. If the token’s supply can no longer change, the only way IMX grows in economic relevance is through increased usage: more games onboarding to Immutable X, deeper marketplaces, and developer tools that lock players into the ecosystem. That’s the test Immutable now faces: turning a clarified supply profile into real world demand.

When a project finishes its unlock schedule, the response usually splits: some in the community worry that ongoing issuance would have been harmful, while others saw it as necessary runway for growth. With issuance off the table, attention will likely turn to metrics that matter for a gaming stack: active wallets, trading volume on NFT marketplaces, game launches and partnerships. Immutable’s framing ties the unlock’s end to investor confidence and ecosystem integrity, but the follow-through will hinge on whether builders and players step up to use the platform more intensively.

Longer term, the completed unlock may also influence how other gaming projects think about their own token schedules. The industry has been learning, sometimes the hard way, that predictability in economics can be as important as feature innovation. A token with a transparent, completed supply plan removes an easy talking point for critics and gives proponents a cleaner story to sell to developers and institutional partners.

This announcement effectively ends the era of token emissions and starts a new chapter for Immutable, one about delivery, not promises. Now that the supply picture is clear, the real work is turning that certainty into real growth: more players, deeper developer engagement and a livelier on-chain gaming economy. We’ll see how that plays out over the coming months.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
