Ripple News Today – Ever since Ripple started dealing with SBI Holdings, their presence in Japan has increased significantly. This Japanese based financial services firm is the first one in the year to launch a cryptocurrency fund. The fund is made up of 50% XRP. This isn’t a surprise since XRP is SBI’s favorite token. The rest of the funds will be made of 30% Bitcoin BTC and 20% Ethereum ETH. SBI is calling the platform the Strategic Business Innovation Group. The news about the new SBI cryptocurrency fund is a welcome development for Ripple. XRP has been under a lot of pressure for the last few years and things got even worse when the token fell from its long-standing position as the third-largest cryptocurrency per market capitalization.
