Japan is preparing to recognize XRP as a regulated financial asset under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, with implementation targeted for Q2 2026.
This is a major shift.

At the same time, Japan is actively building its tokenized economy on the XRP Ledger, aligning regulation with real world utility.
Regulation doesn’t slow innovation. It decides who survives.
