Speculation surrounding the potential adoption of XRP by major Japanese banks has led to debates about its possible impact on the cryptocurrency’s value. While no official confirmation exists, the idea has been a major topic of discussion in the crypto space since 2024, fueled by XRP’s efficiency and Ripple’s ongoing efforts to integrate blockchain technology into financial systems across the globe. Japan’s banking sector is one of the largest in the world, processing trillions of dollars daily. The possibility of XRP playing a significant role in these financial operations could reshape its demand and market value. Potential for XRP in Japan’s Financial Sector Japan has long been a hub for financial innovation, with major banks such as Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui, and Mizuho handling enormous transaction volumes. Many of these banks rely on SWIFT for international transactions, a system often criticized for its high costs and slow processing times. XRP, designed as a bridge currency for fast and low-cost cross-border transactions, has been proposed as a possible replacement for SWIFT . It could improve efficiency, lower costs, and streamline financial operations if widely adopted. Widespread Adoption in Japan Discussions about XRP’s potential role in Japanese banking intensified following statements from SBI Holdings, one of Japan’s leading financial firms, and a long-time supporter of Ripple and XRP.

Over time, some reports have suggested that Kitao predicted up to 80% of Japanese banks would adopt XRP by 2025. While there is no direct evidence that he made such a statement, independent research from industry analysts has indicated that Ripple has partnered with 80% of financial institutions representing a significant portion of Japan’s banking industry. It was also revealed in 2024 that over 60 banks have formed a consortium to increase the use of digital payment systems in Japan, and Ripple’s technology and XRP could play a major role. The Possible Impact on XRP’s Price If Japanese banks widely incorporated XRP for remittances and settlements, the asset’s trading volume and liquidity would increase, and increased demand could drive a significant price surge. For estimates, we consulted ChatGPT. It predicted that XRP’s value could rise as high as $50 under such conditions. ChatGPT went further, suggesting that if Japan’s financial sector led global adoption, the increased demand for XRP could push its price to $100. However, XRP can go further. When asked how much XRP would hit if it handled a similar volume to SWIFT, ChatGPT set a $1,000 target, a projection experts have been reiterating for XRP since 2017 .
