Ripple reviewed some of the positive trends in the regulation of crypto industry, according to the survey sections. However, the second quarter was marked by growth in regulatory activities, landmark partnerships and high-profile announcements from new entrants and key players in the industry. These actions underline the continued maturation of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Besides, Ripple has taken proactive steps to address inflated volume issues, reducing future XRP sales and changing the volume benchmark.
Ripple’s goal is to be similar to traditional FX markets, as XRP is designed for global calculations. Therefore, Ripple is constantly looking for new partnerships to maintain XRP liquidity.
In the near future, Ripple intends to focus institutional sales in markets where liquidity on the stock exchange for XRP is insufficient to meet institutional demand.
