Earlier this month, Sony Group, with a market value of more than $100 billion, announced the acquisition of Amber Japan to enter the field of crypto trading platforms. The Japanese crypto market has formed a relatively isolated ecosystem due to huge language barriers. However, due to its unique art and culture, it has become a fertile ground for GameFi, NFT, AI-generated art and other related projects and products. On July 27, THENA and SheFi held an offline event "GM Meetup Tokyo" in Shibuya, the most prosperous business district in Tokyo, Japan. Co-organizers also include Curvegrid and GreenPill Japan; at the same time, special thanks to partners Orbs and Rise for their strong support.
