The post Fact Check: Is Chainlink Set To Replace Ripple in Japan’s Crypto Market? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Talk of Chainlink replacing Ripple has been making the rounds online, and it has stirred unease within the XRP community. Many fear that Ripple could be losing ground in Japan’s financial system, a region where it once held a strong position.

Some holders are also questioning whether XRP is still part of SBI Holdings’ multi-blockchain infrastructure. With uncertainty growing, investors are left wondering if Ripple’s influence in Japan is starting to fade just as Chainlink’s role appears to be expanding.

A viral post has cited Chainlink’s unique partnership with Japan’s SBI Group to weigh the argument. Since then, the speculation has grown, but how much truth is there behind these claims? Let’s find what’s fact, and what’s fiction. 

What Actually Happened?

    None of the firms– Ripple, Chainlink, or SBI— made any official statement regarding Chainlink replacing Ripple. Ripple and XRP are deeply integrated in Japan’s payment corridors, which defends its position against Chainlink. XRP’s crucial role in Japan for fast and feasible cross-border transactions through SBI’s remittance and trading services clarifies that Chainlink does not threaten Ripple’s position in that region. 

      On August 22, SBI Holdings announced new partnerships with Circle, Ripple Labs, and the Web3 company Startale. Chainlink’s CCIP and compliance tools help SBI to enhance its infrastructure.

      Is XRP Still the Key Asset in SBI Multi Stack Strategy?

        The Japanese financial firm confirmed XRP’s strategic role in cross-border payments despite new blockchain partnerships. XRP remains critical for live corridors like Japan-Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, where it eliminates pre-funding requirements and lowers transaction costs. SBI’s multi-rail strategy highly relies on XRP for its low-cost settlements.

        China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

        China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

        The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
