Ripple-Backed XRP Asia Launches to Fuel XRPL Adoption in Asia-Pacific

XRP Asia has launched to expand adoption of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in the Asia-Pacific region. The organization is backed by Ripple and the XRP Ledger Foundation, a nonprofit supporting the network.

The Singapore-based initiative will provide developer education, startup assistance, and community programs to help teams build applications on XRPL.

XRP Asia aims to make the ledger a preferred blockchain for regional builders. To achieve this goal, it will offer training and ongoing technical assistance to developers, as well as connections to partners and funding programs for startups building on XRPL.

The organization's launch is part of Ripple's broader efforts to expand XRPL adoption in Asia-Pacific. In June 2024, Ripple partnered with Tokyo-based consulting firm Hashkey DX to introduce XRPL-powered supply chain finance solutions in Japan. XRP Asia also follows the Japan and Korea Fund, which provided grants and startup investments for ledger development.
