This choice reflects a growing trend among institutional investors who are increasingly looking at the technical features and potential use cases of different cryptocurrencies, rather than focusing solely on market cap or popularity.

The decision comes at a time when the broader crypto market is experiencing a downturn, with Bitcoin down 1.18% in the last 24 hours and the overall market cap at $2.76 trillion.
XRP, currently priced at $1.29, has also seen a slight decline of 1.10% in the past day, but its market cap of $81.59 billion indicates a strong position in the market.
