Mercari, one of Japan’s biggest e-commerce players, has launched XRP trading functions on its Mercoin crypto exchange app.
In a Mercari press release, the firm explained that customers can use their Mercari (Merpay) account balances or Mercari points to buy the altcoin, as well as direct bank transfer services.
Mercari: XRP Move
The development comes just under a year after the firm added Ethereum (ETH) trading functions to its crypto app.
Mercoin launched its Bitcoin (BTC) trading service in March 2023.
In December last year, the firm claimed that over 3 million people were now using its crypto trading services.
It also said that it had recorded the highest number of new crypto wallet openings in the domestic crypto exchange industry.
The company said that it had added XRP to its platform on April 24, and said that customers could open a wallet with a minimum deposit of 1 yen ($0.007).
Mercari added that about 90% of Mercoin users say that they are first-time crypto investors.
The firm also teased forthcoming XRP-themed events. In the press release, the company wrote:
“In the future, we plan to consider a range of XRP-related events and campaigns. We will work to make XRP a more familiar cryptocurrency in Japan.”
Mercoin: Incentives and Events Planned
In July last year, Mercoin launched an “invitation campaign” to promote its Bitcoin trading services.
The company ran the campaign for four weeks, when it attempted to incentivize Mercari users to invite their friends and relatives to the platform.
The company handed both the inviters and recipients 200 yen worth of Bitcoin for each person they invited, with “no limit” placed on the number of people they could invite.
In March, the Japanese gaming developer Gumi announced plans to hold a $106,000 Bitcoin giveaway for its newest shareholders.
The gaming company is part of a growing cohort of Japanese, stock market-listed firms that have used their balance sheets to buy BTC and altcoins this year.
Mercari claims to have over 23 million monthly users in Japan. Last month, the firm announced plans to enter the mobile telecommunications sector.
