There are many options to choose from to note out the latest success and development that Ripple<\/a> Labs’ XRP has experienced, but one actually being a teaser has shook the crypto-verse. Founder and current CEO Brad Garlinghouse mentioned how a major wave of institutional investors is going to step-in in the third quarter of the year.<\/p>\n

“One of the things I will tease for a future announcement within the Q3 market reports, which we always share\u2026where we see institutional participation in buying XRP. Q3 will definitely be a record of institutional participation in buying and interest in\u00a0holding XRP.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the ones that are already buying the token are not impacting the price because they are purchasing the speedy coin via OTC or Over the Counter instead of a normal exchange.<\/p>\n

XRP’s Current State<\/h3>\n

The very positive wave of feeling around Ripple\u2019s token, especially lately,\u00a0XRP\u00a0started with David Schwartz \u2013 Chief Technology Officer at Ripple continuing to post and respond on twitter and\u00a0Ripple\u2018s website about the project and the decentralization of the ledger.<\/p>\n

“Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently viewed as the gold standard for decentralization\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Since these blockchains are considered decentralized, then by design, the XRP Ledger is also \u2014 if not more so \u2014 decentralized than both Bitcoin and Ethereum.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The smart yet often criticized PoW protocol that runs on Ethereum<\/a>‘s and Bitcoin’s network was praised while noting out issues by the CTO. Mr. Schwartz mentioned how by time various miners can control the system significantly making it more centralized that you want it to be.<\/p>\n

The speedy network has been praised for its technological achievements by Weiss Ratings many times via their social channel Twitter. The often mentions do showcase one feeling of recommendation and the low prices for the moment could be a golden opportunity to step in.<\/p>\n

We think that the #XRP<\/a> is the fastest digital asset to transfer funds between exchanges. It only makes sense for #Binance<\/a> to use it as the base #currency<\/a> \u2013 why should one have to go through an intermediary currency to trade? #crypto<\/a> #btc<\/a> #altcoins<\/a><\/p>\n
