The Bitcoin and altcoin fund builds on Gumi’s growing crypto business centered around XRP, with the company nearly doubling its crypto holdings over the past year.
Japanese game developer Gumi said it will begin operating a 3 billion yen (about $18.3 million) crypto asset fund on Saturday with SBI Financial Services and backing from Daiwa Securities Group and other investors.
The fund is operated by SBI Crypto Fund, a joint venture owned 51% by SBI Financial Services and 49% by Gumi subsidiary gC Labs.
According to Gumi’s Tuesday >announcement, the fund will invest primarily in Bitcoin and major altcoins, using staking, portfolio rebalancing and hedging strategies.
The company said the fund’s mission is to bridge Japan’s corporate sector and the crypto market while building an operational track record ahead of a possible future lifting of Japan’s ban on crypto exchange-traded funds.
The launch builds on Gumi’s expanding crypto business, which includes managing its own crypto holdings centered on XRP, portfolio management services through Hinode Technologies and crypto investment funds.
The company’s latest >annual report shows crypto has become a significant part of its balance sheet. As of April 30, 2026, Gumi held 14.13 billion yen in crypto assets, nearly doubling from 7.58 billion yen a year earlier.

小靓分析：
🦊 小靓解读
日本游戏巨头Gumi联合SBI推出约1830万美元加密基金，主投BTC和主流山寨币，并采用质押、再平衡和套保策略。这是日本企业资本加速入场加密市场的又一信号，尤其Gumi自身XRP持仓已翻倍，显示其对该赛道信心十足。
📊 市场影响
短期对BTC和XRP等币种形成情绪面利好，特别是日本合规资本流入可能提振亚太交易时段活跃度。但基金规模相对较小（约1830万美元），对整体市场流动性影响有限，更多是信号意义。
💡 操作建议
可关注日本合规交易所（如OKX日本、Bitbank）相关币种流动性变化，但不必盲目追涨。建议保持现有仓位，等待更多日本企业跟进信号后再做调整。
