SBI Shinsei to Pilot Deposit-Interest Crypto Rewards Including XRP Starting June 10

SBI Shinsei Bank plans to start a pilot on June 10 that integrates blockchain-based options into its payments setup and lets customers exchange part of deposit interest for crypto rewards, including XRP. The model keeps yen deposit interest intact while allowing an optional conversion of about 20% of that interest into crypto vouchers redeemable at real-time rates. A broader rollout is expected by autumn 2026.
