Among these exposures, XRP emerged as the third-largest altcoin utilized for bank engagements.  XRP investments comprised 2% equivalent to €188 million of the total crypto asset exposures. While Bitcoin and Ether were ranked 31% and 22% respectively.  “Reported crypto-asset exposures are primarily composed of Bitcoin (31%), Ether (22%), and a multitude of instruments with either Bitcoin or Ether as the underlying crypto assets (25% and 10% respectively),” the report stated.  This report underscores the growing interest of XRP in the financial banking sector.
