Rakuten Wallet Expands Access to XRP for Retail Users in Japan

Rakuten Wallet is expanding its digital asset offerings by listing XRP alongside other supported cryptocurrencies for spot trading.

The integration of XRP into one of Japan's most widely used fintech ecosystems will give retail users direct access to the cryptocurrency through a regulated exchange environment.

This move is significant as it connects trading activity with real-world utility, enabling users to convert Rakuten Points into XRP and spend it at over five million merchant locations across Japan.
