Gumi, backed by the ever-ambitious SBI Group, has chosen Ripple’s XRP as its shiny new crypto bauble. On Aug. 29, the company announced this acquisition with all the fanfare of a royal wedding, declaring its intention to accumulate more of the token over the coming months. One might wonder if they’ve also considered buying up Monopoly money while they’re at it. But no, this is serious business. Earlier this year, Gumi purchased 80,352 Bitcoin (BTC) for $6.7 million, which they’ve been staking on platforms like Babylon. Clearly, they’re building a portfolio as eclectic as a thrift store’s finest offerings. 🛒✨
