NTT Digital is actively exploring various blockchain-related projects and partnerships in order to establish itself as a key player. In a recent&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://nttdigital.io/pdf/20240522_nttdigital_press-release.pdf">announcement</a>, the company stated its launch of web3 Jam, an initiative aimed at facilitating seamless corporate collaboration using blockchain.
&nbsp;
As of May 22, 2024, NTT Digital reported receiving support from 14 companies for this project. The firm is committed to recruiting more partners to explore innovative co-creation opportunities that cross industry boundaries.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Also, last June, NTT Digital&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://nttdigital.io/pdf/20240529_nttdigital_press-release.pdf">joined</a> the Linux Foundation Europe's OpenWallet Foundation (OWF) as another step toward enhancing its blockchain capabilities. This open-source initiative focuses on developing secure, interoperable multi-purpose wallets.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Participating in the OWF reportedly allows NTT Digital to enhance international interoperability of digital wallets and expand its global service offerings.

NTT Digital is not the only Japanese company to join Injective as a validator. On June 11, Gumi, a leading mobile gaming company,&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://x.com/gumi_pr/status/1798961125851353452">also became</a> a validator for the Injective network.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Gumi is known for its popular mobile games, such as Brave Frontier and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, and it has actively participated in blockchain initiatives. The addition of Gumi to Injective's validator set is significant, as it helps strengthen Injective's presence in Japan, a market where over five million users own cryptocurrency.
&nbsp;
Injective is one of the largest proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains globally, primarily designed for finance but also focusing on enhancing security in blockchain gaming.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The protocol recently&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://blog.injective.com/en/injective-powers-the-first-ever-tokenized-index-for-blackrocks-buidl-fund/">launched</a> the first-ever tokenized index for BlackRock's BUIDL Fund. With this, users can now access BlackRock's institutional liquidity fund through on-chain financial instruments.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The BUIDL Fund, managed by BlackRock, offers institutional investors a yield on assets such as the U.S. Treasuries. The Fund manages more than $500 million in assets, making it the largest tokenized fund in the world so far.&nbsp;
