At least 147 of them were from the United States, and about 90 respondents were from Europe. Institutional investors from Latin America, Canada, and Asia-Pacific (APAC) were among the others polled. A member of the XRP community brought this to light.
Cryptocurrency Allocation Among Institutional Investors
The image shows that they have allocated most of their cryptocurrency to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
About 78% of respondents revealed that their companies were invested in ETH, whereas 98% agreed that their companies were allocated to BTC. In addition, Solana (SOL) stood before XRP, with 24% of investors in its market.
XRP’s Market Performance and Future Predictions
At press time, XRP was trading at $0.5964, following a slight drop over the past 24 hours. Unlike the rest of the market, the asset saw a much slower rise of just 2% throughout the week.
According to data from Changelly, XRP is slated to have a bullish week. Following a 35% rise from its current level, XRP could surge as high as $0.82000.
A rise like this could be revolutionary for its holders and put an increased number of them at a profit.
