Aiming for Corporate Integration and Business Use Cases

Among the various initiatives the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund will support are joint ventures with elite companies in Korea and Japan.

These joint projects will concentrate on including XRPL and investigating business use cases in different sectors. Emi Yoshikawa, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Ripple, stated:

“Korea and Japan have major potential to become crucial regional hubs for blockchain development.”

With 80% of Japanese banks working with Ripple for blockchain payments, the company’s technologies are already causing waves in the nation. Faster and more affordable transactions guaranteed by this cooperation emphasize Ripple’s central importance in the Japanese financial industry.

Meanwhile, according to CoinMarketCap, XRP’s price as of right now is roughly $0,4834, a 0.23% rise over the last 24 hours.

Furthermore, showing a positive trend over the past seven days is XRP, which has grown 2.12%. This upward price movement emphasizes the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund’s possible influence as well as the increasing confidence in Ripple’s activities.

A major turning point in Ripple’s attempts to promote blockchain innovation and acceptance in Asia comes with the opening of the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund.
