Crypto enthusiasts woke up Monday to copious amounts of Ripple news. Two Ripple (XRP) headlines have attracted the crypto community today, with the first being the news that Japanese SBI Holdings will be launching a crypto exchange that focuses on trading XRP.
Let’s look at these two announcements in more detail.
SBI Holdings Launching Crypto Exchange
On Monday, SBI Holdings announced that it will be launching a crypto exchange. The crypto exchange will be called VCTRADE. Many have been waiting for this day for a while, considering SBI Holdings initially announced the crypto exchange back in 2016.
Right now, however, the SBI Holdings crypto exchange is only going to focus on trading XRP. That said, the Japan-based financial institution has earmarked support for BCH. Perhaps this will happen once the SBI Holdings crypto exchange gets some crypto trading experience under its belt.
Many were excited about the news, particularly the XRP community.
SBI Holdings, one of the largest financial companies in Japan, has launched a cryptocurrency exchange. They are also investors in many financial services companies like Paytm Mall, eToro, and Dayli Financial.
