Gaming studio deals add real-world traction


The number of partnerships between Immutable and gaming companies, both inside and outside the Web3 sector, is growing. In a recent X post, Immutable co-founder Robbie Ferguson announced plans to onboard 10 times more Web2 games to crypto due to unprecedented network speed. 
One of the largest partners of Immutable is Ubisoft. Recently, the company announced the integration of Slime Miner, a Web3 game with over 18 million players, into its network.

Immutable Network continues to grow


Immutable zkEVM, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, together with marketplace tools, enables developers to use IMX for transaction fees, staking, and marketplace activities. As a result, demand for IMX tends to rise whenever new games or developers adopt the platform.

Bullish community sentiment supports IMX token demand


According to CoinMarketCap votes, 85% of traders are bullish on IMX. Price movements and network activity are fueling optimism; however, IMX is still trading about 92% below its all-time high of $9.50, reached on November 26, 2021.

Despite this, IMX remains among the top 100 largest cryptocurrencies and ranks in the top 3 gaming tokens, with a market capitalization exceeding $140 million.
