🚨 XRP Surpasses Ethereum on Japan’s Leading Exchange — Is the Rally Just Beginning? 🚀
In a major market shift, XRP has officially overtaken Ethereum (ETH) in spot trading volume on SBI VC Trade, the prominent Japanese exchange backed by financial giant SBI Holdings.
Recent reports show XRP/JPY trading volume has surged past ETH/JPY, now trailing only Bitcoin. Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) complete the top five — but XRP is clearly the standout.
This move isn’t surprising for those familiar with Japan’s crypto scene, where XRP has long been a favorite.
Momentum is accelerating: just last week, XRP was listed on Mercoin, Japan’s leading marketplace app, pushing the asset closer to mainstream adoption.
Former Ripple executive Emi Yoshikawa also highlighted that many Mercoin users are crypto newcomers — signaling that XRP could become the entry point for Japan’s next generation of retail investors.
