Prominent Blockchain Company Launches Fund for Blockchain Innovation in Japan and South Korea

A well-known blockchain firm has commenced the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund with the aim of nurturing blockchain advancement in Japan and South Korea.

In line with the company's overarching goal of contributing one billion XRP to support blockchain developers, the fund is set to assist in corporate collaborations, developer recognitions, startup investments, and community expansion.

The CEO of the blockchain company has expressed apprehension regarding the challenging regulatory atmosphere in the United States, coinciding with the establishment of the fund.

Furthermore, the company is dedicated to expediting the adoption of its cryptocurrency payment services in the Asia-Pacific region, a market segment exhibiting rapid growth for the organization.

The company's commitment to expansion is underscored by its partnerships, such as the collaboration with HashKey DX, a Tokyo-based supply chain finance entity. In 2016, in a bid to promote the company's payment solutions, SBI Ripple Asia, a joint venture between the firm and SBI Holdings, was established.

The company's strong presence in the regional blockchain domain is exemplified by the issuance of official non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for the World Expo 2025 scheduled to be held in Osaka, Japan, through the XRP Ledger.

Enhancing its position in the Asia-Pacific market, the company secured a full operating license in Singapore in October, augmenting its foothold in the region.

Plans are underway for the introduction of a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar within the next fiscal year, aimed at integrating the company's solutions into the global monetary infrastructure.

With the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) withdrawing accusations against company executives in a legal dispute involving XRP token sales, the organization has made strides amid legal challenges encountered in the United States.
