Ripple's XRP could be the biggest winner of the Bakkt and Nasdaq futures launch

Since CME made the Bitcoin futures available on December 18, 2017, the Bitcoin price fell. On December 17, 2017, the price peaked at $ 19.911. The rest is history.

Since then, we have spent a lot of time pondering over the question of how future Bitcoins will have an impact on the cryptography market, especially on cryptocurrency prices. Ripple's recent discovery was a revelation that may have provided the answer to so many reflections.

With the introduction of Bitcoin futures, traders could start selling soon.

Until then, only Bitcoin's "physical" trading was possible. Any sale was primarily the reason for profit-taking. The vicious sales in Bitcoin are nothing new, in the early days they were also aggressive. But now the market can be actively traded on two sides, a completely different dynamic.

This is, of course, a fundamental change that must be considered by Crypto's investors.

There are 3 fundamental catalysts for the XRP token, one of which is institutional investment. The highly anticipated institutional services about to be launched at the start of 2019 are Bakkt and Nasdaq. Both services initially list Bitcoins but it will not take long before additional coins are displayed. Let's see what will be the most attractive for institutional investors.

If you were an institution with millions of dollars to invest, what kind of crypt would you choose? Obviously, you would apply the principle of "low risk, high reward".

So, doing the exercise from an institution's point of view and looking at the three cryptic currencies to be invested by the current top ten available for trading, we can say:

We already know Bitcoin it will be the first resource to be listed, it is the key to the cryptic world, a propeller for the whole industry. It will probably be the largest portfolio of any institution that will use the Bakkt and Nasdaq services to purchase digital currencies.
Ethereum: it has become too big and fundamentally too important to ignore. It's a simple concept, growth is clear and the prospects are positive. The negative point is the fact that most of its developers depend on this.
Ripple: is the only coin company with so many reputable customers. Ripplenet's customer list is impressive, consisting of a couple of major international banks. Ripple is the most advanced encrypted company, both in terms of maturity and in terms of technological adoption, which also offers a currency.
Bitcoin money: there is still a fairly clear answer about what Bitcoin Cash is trying to achieve, so obviously it would not have been preselected.
EOS: While EOS's expansion is impressive, there may be two aspects that create a barrier with Western institutions. The first EOS is very technical in nature and, secondly, there is a lot of activity and attention in Asia, and this may seem like a lack of transparency.
Stellar lumensThis is a rapidly growing Crypto initiative. Stellar's recent acquisition of Chain makes it a more reliable cryptocurrency. Now they have customers like VISA, CitiGroup and Nasdaq.
litecoin: We lack clarity on the adoption and future growth of Litecoin. The fact that the founder sold his holdings last year does not give much confidence.
To tie: While the increase in cap Tether has been truly spectacular, it seems that added value is more difficult to explain. The manipulation allegations explained in Wiki would make every institution very nervous: "What is the real long-term differentiator?
Cardano: difficult to express the true added value of Cardano. It is difficult for institutions to understand in a way that will be tempted to invest in it.
Monero: has a concept that is easy to understand. There is an added value in the private aspect of the digital currency. However, there is a lack of transparency in the adoption and we believe this is a serious problem for institutional investors.

Conclusion:

After doing this exercise, for institutional investors, the highest level of trust will likely be for Ripple and its XRP token, followed by Bitcoin, Ethereum and Stellar Lumens.

While short selling will probably limit the potential for extreme growth in Bitcoin, which is becoming a more mature investment vehicle, we believe capital will continue to seek returns 100 times higher.

Assuming that even encrypted retail investors will mature over time, we believe they will seek real added value in the use of their capital.

Moreover, from an institutional point of view, we believe that the restricted list of cryptocurrencies in which they will invest is really limited. We believe Ripple will be at the top of their list.
