In 2023, Yoshitaka Kitao, the CEO of Strategic Business Innovator Group (SBI), a leading financial service firm, commented on the influence of XRP, disregarding Bitcoin as an asset. He forecasted that XRP would be used by every Japanese bank by 2025. Kitao highlighted the increasing adoption of XRP by major companies. He added,
“Major fund transfer companies have also begun to introduce it, and the use of “xRapid” using $XRP is becoming more widespread, and the number of companies participating in RippleNet is increasing significantly. Therefore, in that sense, I think that Ripple’s technology will gradually be used in the international remittance field, as well as “XRP.”
Reiterating Kitao’s words, Amelie posited that the declining price of the Yen against the dollar and euro would be eased with the growing adoption of XRP. She stated, “It fits the narrative that every bank in Japan will be using XRP by 2025, according to the SBI CEO.”Meanwhile, XRP is experiencing a downtrend, with its price currently at $0.5175, down by 3.18%. Despite a slight increase of 0.18% in one week, XRP has marked a significant decrease of 17% in one month.
