Ripple May Outperform Bitcoin And Ethereum Again in 2018

The first thing that comes to mind thinking about Ripple (XRP) is, “Ahead of its time.” This has been true ever since the project launched back in 2012 and this is true today. Ripple as a company has surprised many with how aggressively and tactfully they have captured the market and established their foothold. Most of us today lay a great deal of emphasis on smart contracts. Yet, it would be a surprise to many that Ripple (XRP) was actually one of the first few projects to roll out a smart contracts platform. That platform, introduced in 2015 was called Codius. Back then it did not have much success because it was way ahead of its time and the company chose to divert its energies to operations with higher demand. So, the project was disbanded for a while. However, it has been revived again by Ripple and will serve as a smart contracts platforms for applications built on the Ripple blockchain.

Ripple also launched a new project, Xpring in the hopes of helping new startups to build on the Ripple blockchain. The company announced that they will be investing in new projects started by proven entrepreneurs to support businesses growing on the XRP Ledger. Last year, Ripple CTO, Stefan Thomas stated during a Q/A session on Quora that 2018 could be the year of the Interledger. We have also seen Ripple (XRP) partner with an increasing number of banks and payment solutions companies at times when Bitcoin (BTC) was in a correction phase and all those positive news did not reflect in the price of Ripple (XRP).
