South Koreans are crazy about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. The people are adopting it in both Japan and South Korea but I'm not sure about the banks. If this works, other banks will follow. Ripple is making inroads but I don't know if the banks will adopt XRP as a bridge currency. If they do adopt it in these countries, this could be the spark that XRP needs.
This is an important development. Ripple XRP should perform well over the next 12 months.
