Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich announced on the X platform that the Metaplanet board of directors has resolved to establish two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Metaplanet Ventures and its US subsidiary, Metaplanet Asset Management Inc. Metaplanet Ventures plans to invest 4 billion yen over the next few years to support companies building Bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan, covering areas such as lending, payments, custody, stablecoins, derivatives, and compliance. Metaplanet Asset Management will be established in Miami, serving as a digital lending and Bitcoin capital market platform connecting Asian and European capital markets. As Metaplanet Ventures' first investment, Metaplanet has signed a basic agreement with JPYC, Japan's first registered yen-denominated stablecoin project, to invest up to 400 million yen.
