Vivopower International Plc Stock Price, News & Analysis

VivoPower International (NASDAQ: VVPR) has announced the establishment of a South Korean office and appointed Mr. Chris Kim as local representative director. This strategic move follows the company's participation in XRP Seoul and Korea Blockchain Week.

The expansion targets South Korea's significant digital asset market, which holds $30 billion of XRP circulating supply, representing 20% of the total. Mr. Kim, a seasoned venture capitalist formerly with Lean Ventures and various investment firms, will lead VivoPower's engagement with South Korea's XRP-friendly ecosystem.

Through Confirmo's Payout Solution, VivoPower's employees and contractors can receive payments in stablecoins, with options to convert to USD, EUR, or GBP.

The company cites improved mining economics due to increasing prices across the digital asset mining complex and will dynamically manage its asset allocation through portfolio management processes.

The strategic move aims to address challenges in international wire transfers, particularly in developing markets where Tembo operates.

The stablecoin's market capitalization has grown 10-fold since early 2025, demonstrating increasing global adoption.
