XRP Tokyo 2026, Asia's largest conference dedicated exclusively to XRP and the XRP Ledger, opens today at Happo-en in Tokyo, bringing together over 3,000 attendees and 20+ speakers including senior Ripple leadership. The event is part of the broader TEAMZ Web3/AI Summit running April 6-8, highlighting the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain innovation.
Confirmed speakers include Christina Chan, Tatsuya Kohrogi, and Markus Infanger from Ripple, along with J. Ayo Akinyele (Head of Engineering, RippleX), Takuya Sugiyama (VP, SBI Ripple Asia), SungMo Park (a16z Crypto), and Tatsuya Yamada (Rakuten Wallet). The conference focuses on XRP's expanding role in RWA tokenization, DeFi, and global payments.
The timing is significant as XRP whale accumulation has reached a 10-month high, and Japan's institutional XRP infrastructure is more developed than many realize. With XRP currently trading at $1.31 after a failed breakout at $1.35, the conference could provide catalysts for renewed interest in the digital asset among Asian institutional investors.
