Grayscale: XRP Is Now the Second Most Asked-About Crypto

Published at 2026-02-18 21:00:10

Grayscale says its sales desk is hearing one name more than any other after Bitcoin: XRP. The firm reports that inquiries and client conversations have moved past a BTC-only focus, with XRP emerging as the second-most asked-about asset — a development that reflects widening curiosity among both retail and institutional participants.

That shift matters because demand signals from a major asset manager’s sales desk often presage changes in product interest and capital flows. Elevated attention on XRP could spur more allocation conversations, affect liquidity and trading volumes, and prompt issuers and custodians to revisit product lineups. While not a prediction of price action, Grayscale’s observation underscores a broader market trend toward diversification beyond Bitcoin.
