$XRP is trading around $2, but many believe this price still doesn’t reflect its real-world utility—especially in banking.
Japan could be a game-changer.
🇯🇵 Why Japan Matters
Japan’s banking system holds ~$9.6 trillion in assets
Nearly 10% of global banking assets
Strong Ripple ties via SBI Holdings, Mizuho, and the Japan Bank Consortium (61 banks, 80%+ of assets)
📊 Hypothetical Scenario
If XRP were widely used as a bridge asset by all Japanese banks:
Current XRP market cap: ~$120B
If XRP reached 10% of Japan’s banking assets → ~$965B market cap
That implies a price near $16 per XRP
➡️ About 8x from current levels
⚠️ This is an aggressive scenario, but it highlights XRP’s upside potential if institutional adoption accelerates.
🔗 Reality Check
XRP isn’t new to Japan:
SBI Ripple Asia (since 2016)
Japan’s first XRP-based remittance services
Long-term infrastructure already in place
💡 Bottom line: If large-scale banking adoption becomes reality, XRP’s valuation could look very different in the coming years.
