SBI Holdings President Yoshitaka Kitao just tweeted that SBI Ripple Asia just partnered with some of the largest credit card companies in Japan to establish a "Credit Card Industry Consortium", as well as utilizing DLT to solve a variety of issues and increase efficiencies.   The translation is a little rough,  but use Google translate and see for yourself.   This could be fantastic news.

SBI is doing a great many things. I follow them closely and learning Japanese (Google translate) so I don't miss out on anything. They are going for it and XRP is not far behind.
