🚨 JUST IN: EX-RIPPLE VP LAUNCHES $100M TECH FUND
Emi Yoshikawa, former Ripple VP, is launching a $100M fund with backing from SBI.
The goal: connect Japanese giants with early-stage Silicon Valley startups.
Focus areas:
AI
Fintech
Blockchain
This is a strategic bridge between Japan’s capital… and Silicon Valley innovation.
Why this matters:
Japan has massive institutional capital
Silicon Valley has cutting-edge startups
This fund connects both early.
Smart money is positioning at the intersection of:
AI + Finance + Crypto
And this isn’t random.
It’s a continuation of Ripple’s global influence expanding beyond payments.
Watch the bigger trend:
Cross-border venture capital flows are accelerating
Global tech ecosystems are merging
Early-stage bets are becoming geopolitical plays
The real question:
Which startups get funded… and become the next giants?
