Ripple has launched the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund, aiming to drive innovation on the XRP Ledger in the thriving Japanese and Korean markets.&nbsp; 
This multi-million dollar fund is part of Ripple’s grand plan to invest one billion XRP into backing developers who work on the XRP Ledger. A portion of the fund will be used for some exciting opportunities in Japan and Korea. 
According to the <a href="https://ripple.com/ripple-press/ripple-launches-dedicated-fund-to-accelerate-innovation-on-the-xrp-ledger-in-japan-and-korea/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a>, the fund will be used to facilitate a range of initiatives, such as partnerships with major companies, funding for promising projects, investing in startups, and growing local communities around XRP Ledger through events and education.

 “The launch of this fund is a testament to Ripple’s strong belief in the potential of Japan and Korea as pivotal regional hubs for blockchain innovation. It also underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering innovation in the local XRP Ledger communities, and we look forward to seeing the transformative impact of this fund in these vibrant markets” <cite>said Emi Yoshikawa, Ripple’s VP of Strategic Initiatives</cite>

Japan and Korea already have some of the most active global XRP Ledger communities, boosted by supportive regulations and innovative blockchain startups. Recent examples backed by Ripple’s XRPL Grants include VWBL from Japan and Moai Finance from Korea.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Ripple has made strides in these markets before, partnering with firms like SBI Ripple Asia and HashKey DX. The XRP Ledger will even power official digital collectibles at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. 
Furthermore, Key Ripple leaders will attend major upcoming events like WebX Asia and Korea Blockchain Week to reinforce their commitment. The company will also host community gatherings in Seoul and Tokyo in the first week of September.
