XRP Gains Traction Among Institutional Investors, Bucking the Trend
While the overall cryptocurrency market remains range-bound, XRP has managed to attract the attention of institutional investors. CoinShares’ latest report reveals that while digital asset investment products experienced outflows for the sixth consecutive week, XRP saw a significant increase in institutional inflows.
Institutional Investment in XRP Skyrockets 700%
Institutional investors have been increasingly investing in altcoins, with a particular focus on XRP. Amidst low trading volumes and outflows from other digital assets, XRP witnessed a spike of 700% in institutional inflows, reaching $0.7 million from $0.1 million the previous week.
This surge in interest is reminiscent of a previous instance when Ripple’s partial victory in court led to $0.5 million flowing into XRP’s investment products.
Several factors are contributing to this trend, including XRP’s strong performance compared to other cryptocurrencies and Ripple’s efforts to expand the utility of the XRP Ledger through partnerships with financial institutions and payment providers.
Claims Of Centralization And The Ripple Party
The recent increase in institutional inflows into XRP comes amidst claims of centralization surrounding the token. Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser argued that XRP is centralized due to a 32-year-old patent for a distributed computer system by Ripple. However, this claim faced backlash from the community.
Additionally, the upcoming Ripple Party, scheduled for September 29th, may have contributed to the rise in interest and investment in XRP products as it celebrates Ripple’s partial victory against the SEC.
Potential Price Rally Ahead
The growing institutional interest and investment in XRP, as well as other altcoins like Litecoin and Solana, could indicate a potential price rally in the future. However, some analysts suggest that it may take another five years before XRP reaches its next all-time high.
Currently trading at $0.5006, XRP has experienced a slight decrease of 0.9% over the past week.
Hot Take: XRP Gains Favor Among Institutional Investors
XRP has defied the broader market trend by attracting significant institutional investment. Despite outflows from other digital assets, XRP saw a remarkable increase in institutional inflows, highlighting its appeal to investors. With its strong performance and Ripple’s efforts to enhance its utility, XRP presents an enticing opportunity for institutional players.
