Tokyo-listed gaming company Gumi announced plans to explore blockchain-based prediction market services via its subsidiary, Gc Labs. The platform aims to allow users to forecast events in politics, economics, entertainment, and social issues.

Gumi intends to integrate gaming and entertainment features to broaden appeal while navigating Japan’s complex legal landscape, where cryptocurrency-based wagering faces strict restrictions. No launch timeline has been disclosed.
