do you know why? they are focusing on xrp and its protocol as well as its features. Japan has accepted Bitcoin and it is the first step for Ripple to be accepted in the payment of this country. Try to follow the news on the internet and you will understand how the market will go
nobody is accepting ripple for anything and they never will, it is a centralized pump and dump altcoin with a huge supply and a little worth. as you can see the hype is over and the price has been falling pretty hard for the past 24 hours or so.
and what Japan said was bout the blockchain not ripple.
