Ripple has collaborated with SBI Group and HashKey DX to bring its blockchain solutions, XRP Ledger, to businesses in Japan. The blockchain firm announced the strategic partnership in a press release on its blog and a social media post on April 30, 2024.
According to the announcement, HashKey is partnering with SBI Ripple Asia (a joint venture between Ripple and SBI Holdings) to establish and bring its supply chain finance solutions, which will be built on Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL), to Japan. Firms in the SBI Group will pioneer the use of these solutions in the Japanese market.
Notably, HashKey offers its own blockchain-based supply chain solutions, which have seen widespread adoption within mainland China. Over 4,000 companies, including 23 banks and 4,3000 suppliers, are reportedly registered users of these solutions.
The collaboration will capitalise on XRPL’s renowned capabilities for its instantaneous transaction speeds, scalability, and low costs, making it the perfect platform for deploying supply chain finance products. The three firms will also explore more avenues for other different enterprise blockchain use cases that will capitalise on XRPL’s capabilities.
