Rakuten just announced an interesting move - starting from the 15th, they will support XRP payments in Rakuten Pay. This means their 44 million users can directly spend Ripple in over 5 million stores across Japan. Not only that, Rakuten also allows users to exchange points for XRP, trade spot assets within the app, and has a dedicated Rakuten wallet for storage. Previously, Rakuten already supported Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash, and now adding XRP seems to be part of their layout in the digital asset ecosystem. People on the Ripple side say this is an important signal for the large-scale adoption of digital currencies. Japan's retail giants beginning to seriously integrate crypto payments feels like a big deal.
