The XRP Tokyo 2026 conference is set to begin in two days, marking a major event for the XRP ecosystem and Japan's Web3 community. Ripple's leadership, including senior manager Tatsuya Kohrogi, has arrived to support the local community ahead of the event. The conference will focus on the practical use of the XRP Ledger in Japan's banking sector, with significant attention on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) on the XRPL. This aligns with ongoing integrations by Japanese financial firms like SBI Holdings, which are adopting Ripple's solutions for cross-border payments. Investors and developers anticipate updated roadmaps for RWA tokenization, a key priority for Japan's crypto economy this quarter. Despite the buildup, XRP's market price remains stable at around $1.30 amid low volatility and a quiet weekend ahead of the event.
