XRP Goes Mainstream: Japan’s Top Resale Platform Adopts Ripple’s Crypto
XRP Goes Mainstream: Japan’s Top Resale Platform Adopts Ripple’s Crypto

Mercari—Japan’s answer to eBay—just handed XRP holders a major win. The $12B secondhand giant now lets users trade everything from used designer bags to vintage manga with Ripple’s embattled crypto.
Why it matters: While regulators keep playing whack-a-mole with US crypto exchanges, Asia’s Web3 adoption quietly accelerates. Mercari’s 22M active users won’t care about the SEC’s tantrums—they’ll just enjoy faster cross-border payments (and maybe finally offload that Tamagotchi collection).
The fine print: Transactions settle through the SBI VC Trade exchange, avoiding the liquidity issues that plague smaller platforms. Just don’t expect your 1999 Pokémon cards to moon like XRP did in 2017—even in crypto, some bubbles stay popped.
