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.

Prediction markets, DATs, the fee switch, and Project Crypto

Maybe the market knows more than you do.” — Jeff Yass Today, The Breakdown looks at developing stories and links from around the cryptoverse. After Jeff Yass brought his math and poker skills onto trading floors in the 1980s, global options markets stopped looking like a casino and started looking like a science. Yass thinks prediction markets could do the same for the world. First and foremost, he says, “It will stop wars.” Yass cites the second Iraq War, which President Bush said would cost the US $20 billion but is now thought to have cost at least $2 trillion, and maybe as much as $6 trillion. It’s unlikely prediction markets would have settled on such an astronomical number, but Yass believes they might have predicted something like $500 billion, in which case “people might have said, ‘Look, we don’t want this war.’” That would have saved many, many lives, as well: “If people know how expensive it’s going to be and how disastrous it’s going to be, they’ll try to come up with other solutions.” Prediction markets, he says, “can really slow down the lies that politicians are constantly telling us.” He also cites applications in insurance, technology and even dating. Asked by the 16-year-old podcast host what advice he’d give young people, Yass suggested they could avoid relationship mistakes by creating an anonymous prediction market for their friends to bet on. “I believe in markets,” he concluded. It sounds like a dumb idea: Unlike stocks with their open-ended valuations, prediction markets should converge toward the single fixed probability of a binary outcome. But the author of No Dumb Ideas crunched the numbers and…

U.S., Europe brands take on the Chinese consumer

U.S., Europe brands take on the Chinese consumer

The post U.S., Europe brands take on the Chinese consumer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pictured here is Louis Vuitton’s new cruise ship-shaped store in Shanghai, China, on June 28, 2025. Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty Images BEIJING — China’s economic slowdown isn’t discouraging U.S. and European brands from revamping their strategies to reach Chinese shoppers. Instead, the allure of the world’s second-largest consumer market is forcing companies to adapt in the face of growing competition from local brands. In the case of Kraft Heinz, getting more people in China to buy ketchup this year also meant hiring a local agency to help create catchy campaigns — decorating subway station columns to mimic ketchup bottles and promoting the condiment as a fresh twist on a popular dish: stir-fried eggs and tomatoes. It’s a hard market to tackle, even for Shanghai-based marketing firm Good Idea Growth Network (GGN). The agency has witnessed at least five different waves of consumer trends in its 14-year history, founder Stephy Liu, said in Mandarin, translated by CNBC. “The gameplay keeps on changing.” But GGN has succeeded even after rejecting an acquisition offer from British advertising giant WPP, Liu said, noting that about half of her clients are foreign brands. While Kraft Heinz isn’t done with its China ketchup campaign yet, the company reported second-quarter net sales in emerging markets climbed by 4.2% from a year ago, helping offset declines in North America. WPP explored a potential acquisition of GGN but did not end up going far in the process, according to a person familiar with the discussions. Kraft Heinz did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
