Japan's financial regulator is signaling major moves. The FSA and Finance Ministry are working on reclassifying 105 cryptoassets under FIEA rules, with plans to flatten tax rates to 20% by 2026. What caught our attention: Chainalysis data shows $21.7B JPY flowing into XRP over the past year (Jul 2024-Jun 2025), dwarfing the $4.7B inflow to BTC in the same period. The capital allocation speaks volumes. Adding fuel to the fire, SBI is planning to launch a BTC-XRP ETF—a clear bet that institutional money sees opportunity in Japan's crypto pivot. Between clearer tax rules and mainstream adoption pathways, the market's watching closely.

XRP-1,5%

BTC-0,37%

Japan's move this time is truly brilliant; XRP's ability to attract funds surpasses BTC... Institutions have already seen through it.

This wave of XRP really took off in Japan... 21.7 billion JPY vs BTC's 4.7 billion, the gap is so big for a reason.

Japan's move was brilliant; XRP has attracted 21.7 billion yen this year, while BTC only 4.7 billion... Institutions really know how to choose.

XRP has truly benefited from the dividends in Japan this time, with 21.7 billion directly crushing BTC. The data doesn't lie.

XRP is trending in Japan this time, with 21.7B versus 4.7B, even beating out BTC? The tax rate has directly jumped to 20%, institutions still have sharp instincts...

XRP's data is outrageous, 21.7B versus 4.7B... Is Japan really all in on Ripple?
