XRP Price Prediction: Ripple Expands in Japan, Eyes Potential Breakout Above $4

XRP is deeply cultivating the Japanese Web3 market.

Ripple is deepening its expansion in Asia, and has recently announced a strategic partnership with the Web3 Salon project, supported by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and promoted by the Asia Web3 Alliance. This partnership will become an important milestone for the promotion of DeFi, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), and digital payment implementation of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in Japan.

According to Ripple’s official statement, the project will provide funding of up to $200,000 through the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund, which will be used to assist Japanese startups in building innovative applications on the XRPL. This is part of Ripple’s $1 billion global XRPL fund, covering comprehensive support in finance, technology, and business development.

SBI Holdings Executive Evaluation

Ripple has long been a major strategic partner of SBI Holdings in Asia, and recently they once again expressed a strong recognition of XRP. SBI Global Asset Management CEO Tomoya Asakura publicly stated: “XRP is a wealth transfer tool for this generation.” This statement was quickly shared by the XRP community and regarded as a key signal.

SBI is an important backing for XRP in promoting cross-border payments in Asia, having already launched XRP-based remittance solutions in Japan and several Asian markets. Today, senior executives describe XRP’s potential as a generational turning point, which not only strengthens market confidence but also indicates that this currency may enter a new phase of value reassessment.

Regulatory and Market Structure Changes

With Ripple achieving partial victory in the SEC case in the U.S. courts, the market sentiment for XRP is gradually warming up. Additionally, Japan’s regulatory environment in the digital asset space is becoming clearer, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem is active, leading to more practical application scenarios for XRP. Furthermore, Ripple emphasizes that the funding targets will focus on DeFi, RWA, and payment applications based on XRPL, which will not only expand the practical utility of XRP but may also inject new growth momentum into the token’s price.

XRP Price Outlook and Summary

Although the current XRP price is still in a consolidation range, if Ripple’s infrastructure and application deployment plans in Japan continue to progress and gain support from more financial institutions like SBI, XRP is expected to challenge past highs again. If the market continues to respond to its real application value, combined with the promotion of the Asian market, potential benefits from ETFs, and gradual easing of global regulations, the possibility of XRP breaking through 4 dollars within the next year is not mere speculation.
