The news of the launch of the spot ETF XRPH11 in Brazil and the futures of XRP at CME Group is very relevant for the Ripple (XRP) ecosystem and could mark the beginning of a new stage of institutional adoption for this asset.

About the potential of XRP:

XRP has a very clear goal: to facilitate fast and low-cost cross-border payments.

Its transaction speed and operating costs remain superior to those of Bitcoin and Ethereum for payment and remittance purposes.

Now, with serious financial products (ETF + futures), large investors have new regulated access routes, which could increase the demand for XRP.

Can it compete with Bitcoin and Ethereum?

Against Bitcoin: XRP does not seek to replace Bitcoin as a "store of value," but rather to optimize payment systems. They are distinct markets.

Against Ethereum: Ethereum is a platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications, while XRP is a settlement and asset exchange system. Again, they are different approaches.

In summary:

XRP has growth potential, especially in banking and global payment sectors.

It will not replace Bitcoin or Ethereum, but it can consolidate itself as a leader in its specific niche of institutional payments.
