Gumi Invests ¥2.5 Billion in XRP, Shows Strategic Shift in Crypto Portfolio

Japanese gaming company Gumi has made another significant move in the crypto market, announcing a ¥2.5 billion investment ($17 million) in XRP. This follows their previous ¥1 billion Bitcoin investment earlier this year, indicating a strategic shift towards blockchain utility rather than just asset preservation. While many companies are turning to Bitcoin as a long-term reserve, Gumi is using XRP for real-world applications like fast cross-border payments. 2025 marks a year of continued innovation and growth in the Japanese crypto ecosystem.
