Ripple and SBI Group have launched the Ripple USD stablecoin (RLUSD) in Japan after receiving approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA). This regulatory approval allows RLUSD to be offered through SBI VC Trade, a licensed crypto platform, providing both retail and institutional users access under Japan's Payment Services Act. The launch marks a significant step in Ripple's global expansion of RLUSD, targeting payments, tokenization, and collateral management for Japanese users and businesses.
