Institutional investors are increasingly embracing cryptocurrencies, with Ripple (XRP) gaining traction among hedge funds and asset managers. A recent survey reveals that while 73% of investors hold Bitcoin and Ethereum, many are cautiously adding altcoins like XRP, particularly through Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs), which offer a regulated and safer investment route.This trend signifies a maturation of the crypto market, as major players like BlackRock integrate Bitcoin ETPs into their portfolios. With potential regulatory clarity from the SEC regarding XRP's status, confidence among investors is growing, suggesting a promising future for both Ripple and the broader crypto landscape.
