DMM.com establishes a new company, DM2C Studio Co., Ltd., in preparation for making full-scale entry into the web3 business

Purpose

In addition to operating "DMM.com", a comprehensive service site with 39.14 million members(*1), DMM currently operates more than 60 businesses.

We will utilize our accumulated knowledge in the development and operation of web services and in the entertainment field, including games, animation, and manga, to build a token economy based on its proprietary tokens.

In recent years, laws and regulations for businesses using crypto assets have been established worldwide.
Japan has been a world leader in clarifying the legal status of crypto assets and operating a crypto asset exchange business license.
Japan's regulations were so strict that it was even called the "closed country in web3".

Recently, however, Japanese regulations are being reevaluated from the viewpoint of user protection.
In addition, the promotion of web3 and the improvement of the environment around “cryptos” are being promoted as a national strategy.(*2)

In light of these circumstances, DM2C Studio will comply with the strict Japanese laws and regulations, and will aim to enhance the sustainability of our business both domestically and globally, and to build a platform that allows users to use our services without any anxiety.

We plan to deploy a diverse range of products in our web3 economy as follows:

• Develop and operates GameFi projects and GameFi platform
• Various Fan Token projects
• Various SocialFi projects
• Building a web3 platform centered on our proprietary wallet and membership base
• Co-creation projects with web3 entrepreneurs, communities and creators
• web3 projects leveraging the assets of DMM Group

As a first step, we have begun development of GameFi and aim to release the blockchain game "Kanpani☆Girls RE:BLOOM" around summer 2023.
We will also develop and operate a safe and secure web3 platform in cooperation with DMM Bitcoin Co., Ltd., which is our affiliated company.
More details about the project will be made available through pre-releases and white paper disclosures.
For your information, each project is still in the conceptual stage, and the planning and release dates are not finalized.
