Both companies have done several projects and have a strong interest in driving the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the Asian region.
One of the company’s projects is the MoneyTap application. Based on Ripple’s Distributed Ledger technology, the application allows banks in the Japanese banking consortium to process transactions immediately without time constraints. The application was launched in 2018 with three banking institutions and will gradually be extended to the Japanese banking consortium led by SBI Ripple Asia, which consists of 61 banks covering more than 80% of all banking assets in Japan.
