As recently reported, The bond between Ripple and SBI is now stronger than ever with the crypto exchange providing crypto lending offerings to XRP. SBI even launched a crypto lending option for BTC late last year for customers that owned SBI VC Trade that is a part of the lending offer. Today, the lending service was also rolled out to XRP customers that will be able to earn interest on deposits of XRP 100,000 as per the official release.
The Japanese giant SBI started offering these new services while most major exchanges across the world delisted the token because of the issues with the SEC. SBI Supremo Yoshitaka Kitao who is a member of the Ripple board drew attention to the fact that regulators in Japan don’t consider XRP to be a security and he hopes that this will help the cause that ripple fights for. The American and Japanese companies that co-run the SBI Ripple Asia payments network handed out tokens to their shareholders and the new exchange customers.
Also, SBI and SMFG partnered in the past to offer digital banking services via smartphone. SBI is known for the positive stance on crypto as well as Ripple which is a fintech company that faces plenty of lawsuits for alleged violations of securities laws.
