Viber set out on a mission to honor diehard soccer fans around the world. This messaging platform, which happens to be more secure than Telegram, started by launching an in-chat leaderboard feature that lets users track their match predictions.
Users have the option to create a custom leaderboard for a private group or to connect to a community of World Cup fans through a global leaderboard. Those who participate in the global leaderboard are entered into a contest, where they have the chance to win sticker packs, Viber Out credit or other select prizes by making accurate match predictions and collecting points.

MARCH 16, 2018
Two of Japan’s biggest consumer-to-consumer (C2C) platforms are joining forces. Last month, Rakuten announced that its two flea market apps, Rakuma and Fril, would be merging under the Rakuma brand to increase the merchandise offering and pursue efficiencies in operations, providing the distinctive platform of choice for Japan’s C2C users.
After over a year in the Rakuten family, Fril is now joining forces with Rakuma to tackle the world of flea market apps head on. The marriage looks to benefit both Rakuma and Fril users, as well as the Rakuten group as a whole.
From the users’ perspective, the combined service will offer greater product variety and the loyalty advantages of being part of the Rakuten Ecosystem. All users will be able to earn and spend Rakuten Super Points with the new Rakuma, while campaigns and collaborations with other Rakuten services will also be possible.

TOKYO -- Shares in online flea market operator Mercari soared in the company's debut on Tuesday, shrugging off a broader decline in Japanese stocks and underscoring strong demand for one of the country's hottest unicorns.
The Tokyo-based company's stock opened at 5,000 yen, 67% higher than the offering price of 3,000 yen, before climbing further and closing the day at 5,300 yen.
At one point during trade, Mercari's market cap hit 811.9 billion yen ($7.44bn), eclipsing McDonald's Holdings Japan to become the highest-valued company in the small- and mid-cap Jasdaq and Mothers markets. It ended the day at 717.2 billion yen.

The Japanese e-commerce company says there's an opportunity with Pinterest to integrate its Rakuten user IDs that allow people to purchase content.
MAY 17, 2012 7:59 AM PDT
Pinterest surprised Silicon Valley with the announcement overnight of a $100 million funding round led by Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten.
According to AllThingsDigital, more than $50 million of that sum came from Rakuten.
https://www.cnet.com/news/...invest-so-much-in-pinterest-integration/
Pinterest’s revenue in 2017 was $472.9 million. It missed its revenue target of $500 million in 2017 but its revenues have steadily improved over the years, it had revenue of $298.9 million in 2016, $139 million in 2015, and $24 million in 2014.
The company has reportedly exceeded revenue expectations in the second half but missed estimates in the first half of 2017. It has not disclosed its revenue target for 2018 but is reportedly on track to meet or beat targets for the first half of the year.

Im ersten Quartal von 2018 hat nämlich Rakuten umgerechnet knapp eine Milliarde Fintech-Umsätze erreicht, was ich auf vier Milliarden im Jahr hochgerechnet habe.
Da steht für das erste Quartal 2018 eine Net-Income von knapp 200 Millionen US-Dollar, die sich für das ganze Jahre 2018 auf 800 Millionen hochrechnen lassen.
Bei einem dem Wachstum angemessenen KGV von 25 ergibt sich dann ein Wert von 20 Milliarden US-Dollar - weit mehr als das Doppelte des momentanen Marktwertes für die gesamte Rakuten.
Mittelfristig wird sich zeigen ob, dass zu einer wahren Etablierung im westlichen Markt führt. Die Weichen werden scheinbar gerade geebnet.
6. August ist es soweit... Q2 Zahlen. Bis dahin werden wir wahrscheinlich weiter zwischen 5,4 und 6 hüpfen.
