XRP-based sends have been on the rise since early September when the coin came under fire for what many investors thought was turning into a detrimental relationship with RIpple.
While Ripple has made efforts to distance itself from the cryptoasset in an effort to promote decentralization, the company still sells regular batches of XRP to businesses and institutional clients from the funds locked in escrow. Some XRP investors believe this will have a depressing effect on the price of XRP over time, as new coins continue to enter the circulating supply.
However, Ripple has remained committed to growing XRP through partnerships and improving the entire landscape of crypto. Earlier in the month, the San Francisco-based accompany announced it would be joining the Blockchain Association to work with lobbyists in supporting the industry.
