XRP Adoption in Asia: Diana's analysis indicates that XRP's price is significantly influenced by adoption levels in Asia, particularly in South Korea and Japan, with South Korea accounting for 20% of global XRP trading volume.
Potential Impact of Japan: If Japan adopts XRP at a similar rate to South Korea, it could lead to an increase in daily trading volume to between $1.6 billion and $2.1 billion, potentially doubling the user base.
Price Projections: Historical trends suggest that XRP prices rise when trading volume doubles; Diana predicts XRP could reach between $8 and $10 after key events in September, with potential highs of $12 to $22 by year-end if institutional investments occur.
Upcoming Catalysts: Key events in September, including the XRP Seoul 2025 conference and Korea Blockchain Week, are expected to drive further interest and liquidity in XRP, supported by SBI Holdings' integration into Japan's financial ecosystem.
