Ripple is actively cultivating the Japanese Web3 market by collaborating with the Web3 Salon project supported by JETRO, promoting the development of XRPL in areas such as DeFi, real asset tokenization, and digital payments. Senior executives at SBI Holdings have publicly expressed their affirmation of XRP's long-term value, aiding its continued expansion in the Asian market.
Collaboration and Funding in the Japanese Market
Ripple has established a strategic partnership with the Web3 Salon supported by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), providing up to $200,000 in funding through the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund to support local startups in creating innovative DeFi and digital payment solutions using XRPL.
SBI Holdings’ Views and Support
SBI Holdings has long been an important partner of Ripple in Asia, and CEO Tomoya Asakura referred to XRP as a “generational wealth transfer tool,” demonstrating the market’s high confidence in XRP’s role in cross-border payments and financial innovation.
Regulatory and market environment is favorable
With Ripple winning part of the lawsuit in U.S. courts and Japan’s regulations becoming clearer, the compliant application of XRP in Asia is accelerating, especially the deployment in RWA and payment scenarios will drive ecosystem activity and value enhancement.
Price Outlook and Future Potential
Although the XRP price is currently consolidating, if Ripple continues to promote infrastructure and gains support from financial institutions, along with improvements in global market regulation and the potential for ETFs, it is expected to challenge historical highs within 2025, driving a new wave of growth.
