The U.S. SEC is investigating the Immutable project over the sale of IMX tokens.

Developers of the Immutable gaming blockchain network reported that the company received a notice of investigation from the SEC, in which the agency threatens to take legal action. As with other crypto platforms, the SEC equates the sale of IMX tokens in 2021 to transactions involving unregistered securities, which violate U.S. law.

These notices (known as Wells notices), one of which was received by the Immutable team, warn of potential enforcement actions as part of the investigation into the recipient company's activities.

Previously, similar notices were sent to exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, and CryptoCom, the NFT marketplace OpenSea, the broker Robinhood, administrators of the decentralized exchange Uniswap, and the developers of the MetaMask crypto wallet—Consensys.

The IMX token price reacted to the news with a drop of over 10%.

Santiment notes a surge in BTC discussions on social media, but it doesn't yet resemble classic FOMO, as there is a significant amount of skepticism regarding further BTC price growth. Additionally, many people are expecting and fearing a correction.

IMF Bans El Salvador from Buying and Mining Bitcoin Under Loan Program

▪️The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has imposed a ban on the voluntary accumulation of Bitcoin by El Salvador's public sector, including purchases and mining. This condition is part of a $1.4 billion extended loan program, according to a technical memorandum published on the IMF website on March 3.

▪️The ban applies to all hot and cold wallets controlled by state entities, including the Chivo crypto wallet, the National Bitcoin Office, the Rio Lempa Hydroelectric Commission (CEL), and other government-controlled legal entities.

▪️However, Bitcoin confiscated or seized by law enforcement agencies is exempt from the ban and may remain under government control.

▪️The document also states that El Salvador cannot issue debt obligations or tokenized instruments denominated in Bitcoin if they create liabilities for the public sector.

▪️Previously, as part of an agreement with the IMF, the country’s authorities amended the Bitcoin law: its use is now strictly voluntary, tax payments are accepted only in U.S. dollars, and government participation in Bitcoin-related projects is restricted.

▪️El Salvador’s public Bitcoin wallet holds 6,100 BTC (~$510 million). The government had been regularly purchasing Bitcoin, but new acquisitions may now be prohibited following the IMF’s requirements.

The total amount of USDT on the TronNetwork has surpassed $80B, more than double PayPal’s last reported customer balance of $39.2B.
