SBI Holdings expands Ripple partnership with XRP rewards, tokenized bonds, stablecoins, and cross-border payments in 2026

SBI Holdings is broadening its collaboration with Ripple by integrating XRP into various financial products including shareholder rewards, tokenized bonds, and stablecoins like RLUSD. This expansion supports Japan's revised Payment Services Act and enhances SBI's digital finance infrastructure with fast, low-cost settlements on the XRP Ledger. SBI is also advancing partnerships with crypto exchanges and banks to boost cross-border payments and digital asset services, positioning itself as a leader in regulated blockchain finance in Japan. The move reflects a strategic shift towards combining traditional banking with blockchain technology for institutional and retail users.
