Analysts are increasingly linking Warren Buffett's recent investments in Japan to Ripple's expanding influence in the region. Berkshire Hathaway has boosted its stake in Sumitomo Corp, a significant entity within Japan's SBI ecosystem, which includes SBI Ripple Asia, Ripple's largest international partner. Observers suggest that Buffett's actions may align with Japan's blockchain-based financial infrastructure, potentially positioning him to benefit from Ripple's XRP as global markets transition to digital settlement systems.
