Launched in June by Ripple, the XRP Japan and South Korea fund aims to drive blockchain innovation in the two markets and will go toward supporting corporate partnerships, developer grants, start-up investments and community growth.
Ripple's focus on Asia-Pacific
The XRPL Japan and Korea Fund seeks to spur a wave of innovation on the XRP Ledger. The creation of this fund demonstrates Ripple's strong trust in Japan and Korea's potential as a key regional hub for blockchain innovation.
Ripple announced last year that it will continue to "prioritize the Asia-Pacific region for adoption of its crypto payment services" given that it is "one of its fastest growing regions."

In April, Ripple collaborated with Tokyo-based HashKey DX to deliver XRPL-powered supply chain finance solutions to the Japanese market. Ripple announced that XRP Ledger would be used to issue official Expo NFTs to millions of guests at World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.
