A recent study conducted by the <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.07619.pdf">City University of Hong Kong</a> has revealed that XRP has swiftly become Japan’s preferred cryptocurrency, outpacing both <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/bitcoin-price-prediction/">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="https://coinpedia.org/information/market-price-prediction-ethereum-2019/">Ethereum</a>. This digital currency, closely associated with Ripple, has not only showcased significant trading volumes but has also begun to redefine Japan’s cryptocurrency landscape.

In February, a significant shift occurred in Japan’s crypto market, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/xrp-ripple-price-prediction/">XRP</a> emerged as the frontrunner, boasting an impre­ssive trading volume of 1.36 billion units. This surge can be attributed to Ripple’s strategic partne­rship with SBI Holdings, Japan’s largest venture capital fund. 
Strategic Partnerships for the Win 
Ripple’s <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/sbi-japan-revolutionizes-cross-border-payments-with-xrp-based-remittance-services/">strategic alliances</a> haven’t just strengthened its foothold in Japan; they have also bolstered the allure of XRP. A noteworthy development has arisen with SBI Remit, a subsidiary of SBI VC Trade, planning to utilize XRP for cross-border payments. This move further enhances the utility of this digital asset. 
It’s worth noting that while Bitcoin still maintains a larger trading volume in yen terms, XRP’s significant ascent is undeniable.

BITMAX, a Japan-based e­xchange, <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/bitmax-survey-shows-japanese-crypto-holders-prefer-xrp-over-eth">conducted a survey</a> re­vealing that 25% of respondents now re­gard XRP as their preferred cryptocurrency. This surge in popularity can be attributed to the ripple effect of expanding global partnerships among major corporations and government endorsements for its swift and secure cross-border payment transactions. 
In addition, the survey results reveal that Bitcoin has a slight le­ad at 26%, whereas Ethere­um significantly trails behind with only 9% of respondents favoring it as their preferred digital asse­t. This emerging pattern strongly suggests that Japanese investors are actively expanding their cryptocurre­ncy portfolios. 
<h2 id="xrps-impact-extends-to-south-korea" data-name="xrps-impact-extends-to-south-korea" class="wp-block-heading">XRP’s Impact Extends to South Korea</h2> 
XRP’s influence goes beyond Japan, highlighting its strong presence and consistent trading volumes in South Korea. In fact, it often outperforms Bitcoin on major South Korean crypto e­xchanges, solidifying XRP as a global player in the cryptocurre­ncy arena. 
XRP’s surging trading volumes and growing favor among inve­stors are reshaping the crypto landscape by challenging the established dominance of Bitcoin and Ethere­um.&nbsp;&nbsp;
