Japanese game developer CyberStep, Inc. announced today its strategic entry into the cryptocurrency market through a new division, Cryptech Capital, committing up to ¥1 billion (approx. $6.2 million USD) in investments. The move underscores CyberStep’s growing ambition to transition into the Web3 ecosystem and build a self-sustaining token economy.
Cryptech Capital will serve as the company's dedicated crypto investment division, initially focusing on mainstream digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). According to CyberStep, this investment strategy aims to establish a new revenue stream while laying the groundwork for broader Web3 initiatives.
The firm’s announcement did not detail specific assets purchased or the investment timeline but emphasized its commitment to developing a circular crypto-based economy within its digital platforms and future products.
CyberStep’s expansion into crypto comes amid increasing adoption of decentralized technologies by gaming and tech companies. By integrating blockchain-based assets, CyberStep aims to enhance user engagement and monetization across its ecosystem through token utility, digital ownership, and interoperable economies.
The launch of Cryptech Capital is also seen as an effort to future-proof the company’s revenue model as traditional gaming revenues become increasingly competitive and dependent on digital innovation.
As of July 1, the broader crypto market — including Bitcoin and Ethereum — has shown no significant reaction to the announcement. Trading volumes and price trends remain unaffected, with analysts noting that the size of the investment is modest relative to overall market capitalization.
Additionally, no official quotes or public statements have been issued by CyberStep executives, Cryptech Capital representatives, prominent crypto influencers, or relevant regulators. The company's disclosure was limited to a press release, with no primary source updates available through standard monitoring channels.
