Japanese crypto exchange subsidiary SBI VC Trade has significantly reduced trading costs for $XRP traders.
The company has lowered the standard spread on $XRP/JPY leveraged trading to 0.5 yen for a limited time.
SBI says the offer provides the narrowest spread in the industry. The promotion aims to encourage more Japanese investors to participate in leveraged $XRP trading.
$XRP Leverage Trading Support Week Begins
According to SBI VC Trade, the campaign runs from June 22 to July 3, 2026. The offer comes under the banner “Breaking the Spread Limit! $XRP/JPY Leverage Trading Support Week.”
During the promotion, traders using the VCTRADE platform can access $XRP/JPY leveraged trading with a standard spread of just 0.5 yen. SBI noted that spreads may widen temporarily during periods of high market volatility. Under normal conditions, however, the promotional rate will remain in place.
The company added that the same spread is also being offered through SBI FX Trade during the campaign.
Trading Spread Falls by Nearly 80%
The biggest highlight of the campaign is the sharp reduction in trading costs. SBI said the new 0.5-yen spread is about 78% lower than the average $XRP/JPY spread of 2.3633 yen recorded on its platform in May 2026. The promotional spread is less than one-quarter of the pair’s typical trading cost.
According to the exchange, lower spreads can reduce transaction expenses and help traders avoid larger unrealized losses immediately after opening positions. This could make leveraged $XRP trading more appealing during the campaign period.
$XRP Remains Popular Among SBI Customers
SBI used the announcement to highlight $XRP’s strong presence among its customers.
The company noted that $XRP is included in shareholder reward programs run by several Japanese firms, including businesses linked to the broader SBI Group. As a result, $XRP remains one of the most widely held digital assets among its users.
SBI said the campaign seeks to give these investors more opportunities to use their $XRP holdings through leveraged trading.
Japan’s Retail Traders Could Drive More $XRP Activity
The promotion has drawn attention from the $XRP community because of Japan’s active retail trading market.
Market observers note that Japanese retail traders account for a large share of global foreign exchange activity. Some estimates suggest that more than 35% of worldwide retail FX trading volume comes from Japan. Reports also indicate that roughly one in six Japanese retail traders uses leverage.
With $XRP/JPY trading costs temporarily reduced to record-low levels, the campaign could boost $XRP trading activity in the coming weeks.
SBI Deepens Its Commitment to $XRP
The promotion further highlights SBI Group’s long-standing support for $XRP and the $XRP Ledger ecosystem.
Under the leadership of Yoshitaka Kitao, SBI has remained one of $XRP’s most prominent institutional backers in Japan. The company has consistently integrated $XRP into various business initiatives and customer programs.
The new campaign follows SBI’s recent BTC/JPY leveraged trading promotion. It also signals that the company continues to view $XRP as a key asset within its digital asset offerings.
