The Wirex team is full of praises for Ripple $XRP:
“Ripple [sic] [XRP] has gained a reputation as a cheap and stable altcoin. While the value of most cryptocurrencies is influenced by the oscillations of Bitcoin, Ripple [XRP] is independent of the Bitcoin blockchain.”
“Unlike competing cryptos, Ripple has been adopted for internal remittance by many financial institutions – a sure sign of the protocol’s versatility and reliability. Ripple emphasizes the importance of digital security to prevent the production of counterfeit coins.”
Meanwhile, Ripple is recognized as the preferred cryptocurrency for moving digital assets between cryptocurrency exchanges, according to a recent poll by Weiss Ratings on Twitter. The survey showed that 78% of investors prefer XRP, 8% for Ethereum and 6% for bitcoin.
