XRP Asia Launches to Drive Adoption of XRPL Across Asia

XRP Asia has officially launched to promote growth and adoption of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) across Asia. The organization is led by President Sabrina Tachdjian, who joins from the Hedera Foundation.

Tachdjian will be speaking at an event titled 'Special Announcement: What's Coming Next for the XRP Ecosystem in Asia' on October 3, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Seoul during Korea Blockchain Week. The session will cover cross-border payments and tokenized deposits, with South Korean institutions including Woori Bank and Kakao Bank participating.

The launch of XRP Asia marks a significant development for the XRP ecosystem in Asia, where Ripple already has a notable regional foothold through SBI Ripple Asia, a joint venture between SBI Holdings and Ripple. SBI Ripple Asia's token issuance platform was registered under Japan's Fund Settlement Act on March 26, 2026.

The upcoming protocol upgrades named Batch and Permission Delegation are planned for early October 2026. These upgrades could further enhance the adoption of XRPL in the region.
