Japan’s Digital Year: Will Crypto Save the Economy? 💸

by

On a Monday that felt more like a Tuesday, Minister Satsuki Katayama, ever the visionary, proclaimed that Japan’s financial markets would embrace crypto assets and blockchain technology with the enthusiasm of a child discovering a new toy. “There is still room for growth,” she said, as if the economy were a garden that had merely forgotten to water its plants.

Even though it launched between the highly anticipated releases of Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, ARC Raiders has become surprisingly popular.

According to recent data from Alinea Analytics, ARC Raiders has now sold over 12 million copies across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and had over 3.2 million daily players on January 4th.

While many Pokemon from Paldea have already been added to Pokemon GO, Wattrel and Kilowattrel will make their first appearance in the mobile game with an upcoming event.
