Ripple highlights its bet on Japan in 2024

The upcoming event in Tokyo looks like a natural step in Ripple’s strategy on expansion in Japan, Korea and Asia as a whole.

This year, it scored an array of partnerships with businesses operating in Japan that are crucial for the region’s Web3 transformation. Namely, since April, it has been working with HashKey DX, a Tokyo-based specialized consulting company in blockchain technology.

Also, on June 11, 2024, Ripple launched a novel blockchain fund for Japan and South Korea. The initiative is supporting XRPL-based applications by local developers.

The XRP price dropped by 5.8% in the last 24 hours; the asset plunged to $0.56.
