We're proud to announce that Ripple USD ($RLUSD) is now officially available in Japan, following approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA): https://t.co/ChkYMQ6kxW
Through our partnership with SBI Group and @sbivc_official, $RLUSD will be accessible to both institutional and retail users via the VCTRADE platform, serving as a bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management.
With $1.7 billion in market cap and a 10-year relationship with SBI, this is a significant milestone in advancing regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.
JUST IN: SBI VC Trade lists RLUSD as Japan's first regulated USD stablecoin under the country's 4th electronic payment method framework, effective June 24, 2026, in partnership with Ripple Labs.
🚨JUST NOW: JAPAN JUST GOT ITS FIRST TRUST-BACKED YEN STABLECOIN
SBI Group is launching JPYSC, a yen-pegged stablecoin issued through SBI Shinsei Trust Bank.
JPYSC’s trust structure lets it bypass Japan’s ¥1M transaction limit, making it more useful for large settlements.
This gives Japan its own stablecoin instead of relying on USDT or USDC.
More licensing momentum!
