The announcement indicates that the exchange is initially supporting Ripple (XRP) but more cryptocurrencies will follow.

“As a handling virtual currency, we are planning to handle XRP first and then expand it to bitcoins (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCH) sequentially.”

“Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) on its expansion to the Japanese market. According to CT Japan, MUFG has invested over 1 bln yen in Coinbase since 2004 through Mitsubishi UFJ Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Capital, among others.”

Ripple (XRP) has announced its University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI) today, in which it “has committed over $50 million in funding, subject matter expertise and technical resources” to”17 prestigious institutions around the world”. Apart from fostering education about blockchain technology and encouraging adoption, Ripple lists some key objectives of UBRI:
