[gumi and SBI Plan to Launch a Cryptocurrency Investment Fund Worth Approximately $18.32 Million on August 1] Foresight News reports that Japanese gaming company gumi has announced it will begin operating the 'SBI Crypto Fund I' on August 1. This cryptocurrency investment fund was jointly established by its subsidiary gC Labs and SBI Financial Services. The fund has a scale of approximately 3 billion yen (around $18.32 million) and is funded by multiple investors, including Daiwa Securities Group.
