According to Evan (@StockMKTNewz), the U.S. FTC has officially withdrawn its complaint to block Microsoft's $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard after losing an appeal, signaling the deal's likely completion (source: Twitter). For traders, this resolution boosts confidence in tech mega-deals and could drive further institutional inflows into technology equities like $MSFT. Crypto market participants are watching closely, as major tech sector consolidations often precede increased blockchain adoption and potential partnerships, especially with gaming-focused tokens and Web3 projects. The deal’s closure may also influence sentiment around regulatory risk for large-cap growth stocks, with ripple effects on crypto-aligned equities.
