CoinPost is Japan's largest Crypto Assets media platform, hosting the Asia's largest blockchain conference Webx since 2023, serving as an important international conference for communication between government financial institutions and blockchain startups.

According to SBI's official press release, Twin Planet is an IP-centric entertainment agency that represents several well-known artists, including Nakko Yabuki from HKT48, and possesses rich experience in content creation and commercialization.

This collaboration will center around SBI's newly established Neomedia Holdings as the platform, with both parties planning to promote integrated development on multiple levels. Firstly, both sides will join forces to create a content marketing model that combines finance and entertainment, conveying financial knowledge through easily understandable forms such as film and television, and Japanese anime, enhancing the public's understanding and participation in investment and asset allocation. In addition, both parties will jointly hold auditions and talent selection activities to discover new IPs and a new generation of creators with global potential, and through SBI's investment support and Twin Planet's production capabilities, a systematic talent cultivation structure will be established.

On the other hand, they will also leverage Twin Planet's expertise in transforming characters into IP, collaborating with SBI Group's regional banks to convert the unique cultures, products, and tourism resources of Japan into IP, promoting local revitalization and economic recovery.

Finally, both parties plan to fully utilize SBI's overseas bases in Asia and the Middle East to assist Twin Planet's talent and IP in expanding into international markets, establishing a complete system to support Japanese content going global through market information exchange, local events, and corporate matchmaking.

Twin Planet representative Kenji Yashima stated that they hope to leverage this collaboration to combine SBI Group's global network resources with their own creative strengths to promote Japanese IP culture to shine in the global market.

Through the acquisition of CoinPost and collaboration with Twin Planet, SBI Holdings officially launched its inaugural strategy to integrate finance and media. Whether it is enhancing user education and asset allocation on the Web 3 platform, or combining Japanese IP entertainment content with financial technology to create new entertainment content value, SBI is laying an important foundation for the development of Japan's digital economy.
