<p>XRP has surged to become the third-largest crypto by market cap, trailing only Bitcoin and Ethereum. This has reignited global interest, particularly in Korea. Ryan Kim, founder of crypto investment firm Hashed, highlighted the Ripple Market Korea project on X today, pointing to&nbsp; Korean investors’ strong interest in XRP. This interest has a long history, dating back to 2014 when Ripple Labs first introduced XRP to Korean investors, including “<a href="https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/files/27921799/PhD_S._Kromer_Corrections_.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ajummas</a>” — middle-aged Korean women who often wield significant influence in household financial decisions.</p>
