In my personal opinions Ripple will rise up because In the third quarter of 2018 Ripple's sales doubled and reached 163 million USD.
The XRP II unit was sold to the institutional clients for $ 98.06 million, although in the second quarter this figure was only $ 16.87. Software sales reached $ 65.27 million.
Nevertheless, the company failed to surpass the results of the first quarter and to overcome the bar of $ 167.7 million.
In the third quarter, 3 billion XRPs were also released from the escrow repository, but 2.6 billion XRPs immediately switched to a new escrow contract, and only 400 million XRPs remained in circulation.
