GeoTechnologies' Move-to-earn app rapidly gained popularity in Japan has surpassed 23 million downloads worldwide
Expanding the Japanese move-to-earn app to the world
'TRIMA', which has twenty-two million downloads in Japan, has established a solid position as the de-facto standard for move-to-earn apps. TRIMA users can earn points based on their movement and those data are analyzed by 29 universities in Japan. They are seeking how to improve the safety, efficiency, and productivity of citizens in Japan. TRIMA is the first to introduce the concept of move-to-earn apps to Japan. Based on this success, we launched 'GeoSmile' worldwide as a global version of 'TRIMA' in 2023.
Contributing to society through collaboration with academic institutions
'TRIMA' people flow data is used in research in various fields such as disaster prevention, crime prevention, urban development, and tourism, with the aim to establish a more livable environment in Japan that considers regional characteristics.
Growth in the US market
GeoSmile, which debuted in the US market about two years ago, has also continued to grow steadily and is expected to reach one million downloads soon. To celebrate this milestone, we will run a special campaign.
Yoichiro Yatsurugi, President and CEO of GeoTechnologies, Inc., says, 'TRIMA introduced the concept of 'move-to-earn' to Japan. Now, it is contributing to making Japan a more livable place through people flow analysis beyond the concept of simply earning points. This approach was also launched in the United States about two years ago, and we are reaching one million downloads. This is an important step in expanding the circle of social contribution in Japan to the United States, and we are very excited for further growth in the future'.
Yas Watanabe, Chief Executive of LAJET Business Consulting LLC, comments, 'I have been studying the success of GeoTechnologies' TRIMA in Japan. TRIMA has become a tool to improve users' daily lives beyond the concept of simply earning points. When the GeoSmile business in the United States continues to develop, I am confident that TRIMA's knowledge will be utilized to help improve lifestyles in the United States. The achievement of one million downloads in the United States is an important step'.

Asian shares rise, dollar defensive after mild inflation data
TOKYO: Stocks in Asia climbed and the US dollar was subdued on Wednesday, as data showed both resilience in major economies and the need for central banks to remain accommodative. Wall Street scaled new heights on Tuesday, driven by increasing certainty the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month. Japan's Nikkei broke through the 43,000 level for the first time and cryptocurrency ether rose to an almost four-year high. The highly anticipated US inflation readings indicated President Donald Trump's tariff regime had yet to filter down to consumer prices. In Japan, a report showed manufacturers grew more confident about business conditions after a trade agreement with the United States. "It's clear that almost any good news leads investors to pile money into markets, particularly tech stocks, despite their lofty price tags," Paco Chow, dealing manager at Moomoo Australia and New Zealand, wrote in a note to clients. "They're riding on 95 per cent odds of a Fed rate cut in five weeks and feeling comfort that inflation is only creeping higher, not running amok," Chow said. The MSCI All Country World Index of shares climbed for a second day to reach 948.54, a new all-time high. Japan's Nikkei stock index rose one point four per cent, also setting a new peak for a second-straight session. US Labour Department data showed the consumer price index rose 2.70 per cent in the 12 months through July, slightly below the 2.80 per cent rate that economists polled by Reuters had forecast. A Reuters Tankan poll that tracks the Bank of Japan's quarterly tankan business survey showed Japanese manufacturers' sentiment index improved for a second straight month. Another report showed Japan's wholesale inflation slowed in July, underscoring the central bank's view that upward price pressure from raw material costs will dissipate. On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hit record highs after President Trump signed an executive order pausing triple-digit levies on Chinese imports for another 90 days. Traders are pricing in a 94 per cent chance of a Fed cut in September, up from nearly 86 per cent a day ago and about 57 per cent a month earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Investors had been on tenterhooks about the inflation data because it followed a surprisingly weak jobs report on Aug 1 and had the potential to stoke concerns about stagflation. Trump has nominated White House adviser Stephen Miran to temporarily fill a vacant board seat at the US central bank, stirring up speculation about presidential interference in monetary policy. And the White House said it was "the plan" that the Bureau of Labour Statistics would continue to publish its closely watched monthly employment report after Trump's pick to head the agency E.J. Antoni proposed suspending its release. Speculation the labour report would be halted has "done the USD no favours and would have only incentivised foreign investors to review their hedging ratios on US investments," Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, said in a note. The dollar was little changed at 147.84 yen. The euro edged up 0.10 per cent to US$1.1684, after a 0.50 per cent jump in the previous session. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of major peers, slid for a second day. Ether touched US$4,634.70, the highest since December 2021, in early trading before sliding 0.90 per cent. US crude dipped 0.05 per cent to US$63.14 a barrel. Spot gold was little changed at US$3,348.10 per ounce. In early trade, pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures were up 0.20 per cent, German DAX futures rose 0.30 per cent and FTSE futures climbed 0.10 per cent. US stock futures, the S&P 500 e-minis, were little changed.

Singapore to sell Hermes bags and gold bars seized from launderers
SINGAPORE is set to sell an eye-watering variety of luxury items confiscated from money launderers who were convicted in the country's biggest laundering case. The local unit of consulting firm Deloitte has been appointed to manage the process of selling the non-cash assets, according to a statement on Tuesday by the police, who added they handed over more than 460 pieces of luxury goods and 58 pieces of gold bars to the firm this week. The items are among a broader haul of assets, including upscale real estate, cars and cash, seized in connection with the S$3 billion ($2.3 billion) scandal that broke two years ago. Deloitte will submit proposals for the sale of the assets in due course, the police said in response to a query from Bloomberg. These could include auctions and direct-selling, and will start when the government approves the proposals, it added. The gold bars, jade necklaces and over 10 luxury watches from brands like Richard Mille and Patek Philippe were displayed in a publicized handover. The event also featured dozens of luxury handbags including Hermes handbags and a limited-edition yellow pumpkin shaped Louis Vuitton bag created in collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Since the scandal, Singapore has moved to stem the fallout with authorities imposing financial penalties on several of the world's biggest banks for lapses related to the case. Private bankers have also been charged for their alleged involvement in the scandal. The government has proposed to strip money launderers of directorships and probed law firms embroiled in the case. Authorities previously kickstarted the process to sell the seized assets — which amounted to about S$2.79 billion at the end of 2024. While the bulk of it was in the form of cash and financial assets, numerous properties, vehicles and country club memberships have been sold. The proceeds are put in a de-facto bank account of the Singapore government. –BLOOMBERG
