Tokyo-listed Eole plans to raise its HYPE investment to $611,113 by end-August as it builds its “Neo Crypto Bank” strategy, while Quantum Solutions is selling ether to fund AI infrastructure.
Tokyo-listed Eole said it bought 1,078 HYPE on July 28 for $66,002, paying an average of $57.15 per token, and described the trade as the first publicly disclosed HYPE purchase by a listed Japanese company based on its review of corporate filings. The company plans to expand the position through multiple purchases by the end of August, bringing its total investment to $611,113. Eole said it will hold HYPE, the native token of Hyperliquid, alongside bitcoin as a strategic asset under its “Neo Crypto Bank” initiative, launched in October 2025 to build financial infrastructure for an economy in which AI agents can make payments and enter contracts. The company said the investment is intended to strengthen its onchain finance and Web3 businesses rather than serve only as a speculative bet, and that it may seek revenue from digital-asset lending, hedging through traditional financial markets, and links to its own services. The move contrasts with Quantum Solutions, whose GPT Pals Studio subsidiary sold 1,000 ETH on July 30 for about $1.9 million to support AI infrastructure including data centers, highlighting increasingly divergent corporate crypto strategies in Japan.
