🇯🇵 Japan • SBI • XRP — Facts vs Rumors (2025–2026)

There’s a lot of noise saying “Japan banks will start using XRP next year.”

Here’s what’s actually confirmed 👇

✅ SBI Holdings is Ripple’s strongest institutional partner

• SBI subsidiaries already use RippleNet

• XRP is tested and used as a bridge asset for cross-border remittances

• SBI leadership openly supports expanding XRP utility where regulation allows

❌ No official mandate from the Bank of Japan

• BOJ has NOT announced XRP adoption

• No policy stating “all Japanese banks must use XRP”

🔍 What this really means

• Adoption is gradual, institutional, and backend

• Japan remains one of the most XRP-friendly jurisdictions

• Growth happens quietly through liquidity corridors—not headlines

🧠 Bottom line:

XRP adoption in Japan is real, but it’s incremental—not overnight.
