Why is IMX crypto coin rallying?

On Thursday, IMX was rallying on the back of its partnership with video gaming retailer GameStop. For long, GameStop has been teasing its users with its NFT plans. IMX has had a couple of good days ever since it was listed on the Binance exchange.

GameStop will use the Immutable X’s Layer-2 solution to power its upcoming NFT marketplace. The video gaming retailer’s marketplace will bring in the unique play-to-earn model in its NFT, which will help it establish a fund that will provide US$100 million for the next round of NFT-fuelled video games.

IMX CEO Robbie Ferguson stressed that the partnership will further fuel the NFTs by bringing utility value and increasing its reach. He further added it will be a big leap for the blockchain-based gaming industry.
