At the time of writing, the Ripple-backed crypto token, XRP, is the 7th largest crypto by market capitalization ($18.6 B). The token is currently trading for $0.37 with a 24 hours price decline of $18%, according to data from Coinmarketcap.  

However, a report indicated that XRP seems to be attracting the attention of institutional investors. On Tuesday, CoinShares, the prominent cryptocurrency assets manager, showed that institutional investors are currently buying up XRP as the digital asset saw massive inflows for the third week in a row.
