Any XRPArmy here on Farcaster (lol)? 

Can anyone give a good reason why Ripple is the #5 "cryptocurrency"?

Honestly, XRP being #5 makes sense if you look at how ripple has positioned itself. They’ve got tons of partnerships with banks and financial institutions, (if its) XRP, will useful for cross-border payments way cheaper than traditional systems, also fast. Plus, that whole legal battle with the SEC? They came out mostly on top, and it cleared a lot of doubts about its status. That’s been huge for investor confidence. Add in stuff like XRP-backed investment products (ETPs) popping up in Europe, and it’s no surprise people see value in it.
