They formed SBI Ripple Asia in 2016 to improve cross-border payments and launched Japan’s first international remittance service using XRP in 2021. Their collaboration is extending into NFTs, with planned NFT issuance on the XRP Ledger at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Recently, SBI also launched RLUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, reinforcing its presence in the digital asset market. The ongoing partnership is positioning XRP as a crucial player in the evolving crypto landscape.
