Grayscale, which boasts up to $7 billion in assets under management, has written a comment piece to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

ImmutableX price rallies 16% while Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple consolidate

ImmutableX (IMX) price saw a massive surge in buying pressure after a huge uptick in interest from traders. This outlook comes as Bitcoin price continues to trade sideways, hugging the $30,000 psychological level. Considering the way altcoins are pumping and dumping, this uptick could also be short-lived, with the possibility that these gains are undone quickly.

ImmutableX (IMX) price rallied 16% in less than three hours on Friday, increasing from $0.722 to $0.842. This uptick can be attributed to the massive 248% upswing in Open Interest. The number of contracts saw an increase to $21 million.
