Sakura Internet's stock frozen again for another day. Since making a press release saying they will work with NEM, they have gone from a $65 million marketcap to $340 million marketcap.

I believe there are 5 public listed companies now adopting NEM in Japan. And the value of all these 5 companies shot up like 5 times or more. Need to check the facts on the multiple, but that was what I was told. Well, at least the above is true. Further, I think when XEM gets listed in Zaif exchange, this will rocket up as well because XEM's demand is all pent up.
We don't hear too much because unlike the USA or other English speaking countries, Japan does not speak too much English and therefore this is not so much "publicised" outside of Japan. But if one were in Japan, one would see the ground swell.
More news coming as we sign up more companies adopting the NEM platform.

This year will be the beginning of the rise of NEM as a platform.
