Rakuten Wallet has enabled users to convert their Rakuten Points directly into XRP, trade it within the app, and spend it at over 5 million merchant locations. This integration connects Rakuten's 44 million Pay users and $23 billion in loyalty points to XRP, allowing seamless movement between rewards, trading, and payments.
