Major Japanese companies are continuing to buy Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins with their balance sheets, with the mobile gaming firm Gumi poised to spend 2.5 billion yen ($17 million) on XRP purchases.

Per an official Gumi release and a report from the Japanese media outlet CoinPost, the Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed firm’s board of directors has signed off on the move.

The firm said it aims to complete the purchase before the end of February next year. Gumi’s largest shareholder is SBI Holdings.

Gumi: XRP and BTC Are ‘Two Pillars’ of Our Financial Strategy

SBI is a long-term partner of the XRP issuer Ripple, and an ardent advocate of the altcoin. But Gumi has also proven to be extremely Bitcoin-keen.

The firm announced plans to buy over $6.5 million worth of Bitcoin back in February. And in March this year, Gumi held a $106,000 BTC lottery event for its newest shareholders.

Gumi officials said that the future XRP buy is not purely speculative. Instead, it called the move a “strategic initiative” that would allow it to move into the financial sector.

The company claimed its move would help it participate in the XRP ecosystem. This ecosystem, officials aid, is now playing a central role in international remittances and liquidity networks.

Developing cross-border remittances and liquidity are values “at the core of” SBI’s operations, Gumi noted.

XRP will thus take on “great significance” as a medium- to long-term growth asset, Gumi believes.

Gumi has also unveiled plans to launch a multi-billion yen crypto management fund in conjunction with SBI.

SBI: Aiming for Crypto ETF

SBI wants to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that incorporates BTC, XRP, and other tokens. The firm is currently waiting on approval from Tokyo, which continues to deliberate on crypto ETF appoval.

Gumi has also said that it will look to manage its Bitcoin holdings by using staking protocols.

The company has also explained that it sees BTC and XRP as two separate pillars of its growth strategy.

XRP, it said, is a “network asset that is rooted in real financial demand.” Bitcoin, meanwhile, is a “globally universal asset,” Gumi believes.

July 25th, 2025 – Košice, Slovakia

Remittix, the new DeFi platform bridging crypto and mainstream finance, has publicly disclosed the beta go-live date of its web3 wallet next generation.

The announcement has rekindled investor interest, pushing the Remittix presale to over $17 million raised, with over 563 million tokens sold thus far as of this week.

Targeted for Q3 2025, Remittix Wallet will initially be available to serve Ethereum and Solana when launched, with future support in the works for the Cardano (ADA) and XRP networks. But a mere wallet is not what Remittix is creating. 

Remittix is laying the groundwork for something even more significant: to bring crypto into the realm of everyday transactions, especially in places where money sending is slow, expensive, or simply not feasible.

What Remittix Really Does: Connecting Crypto to Fiat

Though nearly every platform touts decentralization, Remittix is building something that works. Remittix is focused on enabling users to send cryptocurrency to normal bank accounts simply — no middlemen, no unnecessary fees. 

This layer of fiat for crypto is at the heart of Remittix’s mission, especially for people in remittance-heavy regions of the globe like Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

The future wallet will be the portal to this capability, supporting cross-chain transfers, low gas fees, and, in the end, frictionless crypto-to-bank transfers in over 30 countries. While fiat integration will not be activated at beta launch, it is a foundation of the platform’s road map.

Wallet Beta: A Web3 Game-Changer

Remittix Wallet is currently under development to deliver speed, simplicity, and interoperability across chains. Built for both senders in the real world and users of DeFi, it includes:

• Cross-chain access to Solana and Ethereum
• Optimized Web3 UI for token swapping and wallet management
• Staking and yield farming capabilities
• Eligibility for $250,000 Remittix Giveaway
• 50% token reward for presale investors

As the platform’s central utility node, the wallet will eventually support a more extensive DeFi ecosystem, making cryptocurrency more usable for freelancers, businesses, and remittance users worldwide. 

After the beta launch announcement, Remittix has also been trending on X (Twitter), making waves in Telegram trading channels, and highlighted across low-gas-fee cryptocurrency boards. It’s quickly becoming known as one of the strongest altcoins with real utility in 2025.

Presale Still Live — And Selling Fast

Remittix presale is still ongoing on the official website. Everyone who adopts early receives a 50% token bonus and also stands a chance to win the ongoing $250,000 Giveaway, which has caused a massive influx in community growth in the past week.

With over $17 million in its accounts and the wallet beta on the horizon, Remittix is now in the crosshairs of analysts and retail investors alike as a next-generation DeFi project — and potentially, the next big crypto in the payments sector.

About Remittix

From staking across multiple chains to crypto-denominated payments in fiat, it is bringing world utility to underserved users all over the globe. With a focus on low gas fees, utility, and mobile-first infrastructure, Remittix aims to be the platform of preference for global remittance, earning, and spending in crypto.
