⭐About DMM Group

We, DM2C studio, are a subsidiary of DMM.com, LLC, one of the largest general entertainment companies in Japan.

As of January 2023, DMM.com, the parent company, has 60 businesses in 20 domains, including entertainment, games, finance, sports, infrastructure, education, and amusement, and has built a creator ecosystem involving numerous celebrities and creators.

We will leverage these business assets, as well as DMM's existing membership base of 41 million members and brand power, to expand the web3 user base by seamlessly sending customers to web3 services and lead the mass adoption of web3 in Japan.

Furthermore, while leveraging our strengths in Japan, we will also actively build strategic partnerships with overseas companies and investors to expand our global operations, gain more users, and establish and expand a stronger and more stable ecosystem.

Why We Commit to web3

As the brand commercial "DMM doing everything" suggests, DMM is "doing everything" to the extent that it has developed as many as 60 businesses because this is our survival strategy as a company.

Only a handful of businesses that are launched are successful. To continue to survive as a company, our business must change with society and the times. By planting seeds for the future, keeping the buds alive, and repeatedly challenging ourselves to achieve the great fruit of "success," some of the seeds of diverse possibilities have borne great fruit and supported our growth.

To continue to grow, DMM believes that as a survival strategy, it must adapt to changes in society and the times through web3.

Challenging the Token Economy

To date, the DMM Group has continued to grow while making major changes to its businesses in response to the emergence of technologies that have drastically changed society, such as the advent of the Internet and the spread of mobile devices and smartphones. This is not simply a matter of creating new businesses that incorporate trending technologies, but rather of grasping the essence of the changes that these technologies will bring to society, at times investing early on in content that will be in high demand in the new society, and at other times targeting top niche positions in markets where competition is expected to decrease. We have been implementing management strategies from a comprehensive perspective.

The aspect of web3 technology that will have the greatest intrinsic impact on society is the "democratization of currency”. In the modern era, the issuance of new money has been monopolized by the state and central banks, and private companies and individuals have lived with money as a pre-given commodity. Of course, private banks could create credit and issue their own currencies such as local currencies and corporate points, but most of them ultimately relied on fiat currency or other assets as collateral for their credit. Therefore, few private organizations have the know-how to issue their own currencies that do not depend on external credit, such as Bitcoin, and to operate them stably.

However, the advent of web3 technology has undeniably democratized the issuance of money, and as of November 2023, over crypto assets ¹ are traded on exchanges and other venues. Relatively speaking, the importance of each individual currency is declining, and in the future, businesses that rely solely on existing legal tender and payment instruments will be at very high risk.

To overcome this major business turning point, DMM will take on the challenge of issuing its own crypto assets and establishing its proprietary ecosystem.
