1. SEC Ends Investigation into Immutable
Web3 gaming platform Immutable announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially notified the company that its investigation into the company and related parties has concluded. The investigation found no wrongdoing, and the SEC will not take any action. This ends the cycle of the Wells notice issued by the SEC last year (indicating an ongoing investigation and intent to file a lawsuit). When the Wells notice was received last year, Immutable protested and argued its innocence. The company stated that the SEC's investigation is the latest manifestation of its "de facto regulatory policy through enforcement," which has targeted leading companies across various categories in Web3. Immutable joins the ranks of companies like Coinbase, Consensys, Ripple, OpenSea, and Crypto.com, all of which faced an escalation of SEC enforcement actions in the last two months before the U.S. elections. At that time, Immutable stated that the SEC continued to arbitrarily claim that tokens are securities. Although the notice did not specify, Immutable believes the allegations were aimed at the company's listing and private sale of the IMX token in 2021. A Wells notice is a signal that the SEC is considering filing a lawsuit against a company. "We are pleased that the SEC has concluded its investigation. This is an important milestone for the crypto industry and gaming, and we are moving towards a future of regulatory clarity," said Immutable President Robbie Ferguson in a statement. "Immutable remains committed to realizing our vision of bringing digital ownership to the 3.1 billion players worldwide; we can now move towards this goal without obstacles." -Original

7. Fed's Probability of Rate Cut in June Rises to 62%
Click the link to join the live broadcast: https://meeting.tencent.com/p/9850662513 Good evening, I am Teacher Da Bin. Currently, the market expectations lean towards a dovish stance, betting on rate cuts. Although the Federal Reserve has signaled that it is not in a hurry to cut rates, the market's interpretation is more dovish. Investors generally believe that the Fed may have underestimated the extent of the U.S. economic slowdown and are betting that there could be three rate cuts this year, totaling 75 basis points. According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) FedWatch tool, the market now estimates the probability of a rate cut in June has risen to 62%, a significant increase from a month ago. Behind this expectation divergence is concern over the inflationary pressures and economic growth resistance that Trump's tariff policies may trigger. From the chart, Bitcoin's upward trend remains relatively strong, but recently we see a higher possibility of consolidation. BTC: Yesterday, the price approached a high of $87,453.67, and technical indicators show the market is in the overbought zone, increasing the risk of a pullback. If Bitcoin fails to break through this resistance level in the short term, a pullback is expected, with support around $86,000. If the price breaks below this support level, it may further test the support zone at $84,222.75. Potential for a breakout recovery: If Bitcoin can successfully break through the resistance level of $87,453.67, the market is expected to continue towards the vicinity of $88,000. However, be aware that the risk of a pullback after the breakout still exists. Join the community to stay updated with the latest information!
