Economist and crypto trader Alex Krüger refers to XRP as an “IQ Test” while the top trader Big Cheds says the coin is good for trading, but not much else.

Meanwhile, there are those who hold an impartial view on the crypto token dubbed as “the standard.” Crypto podcaster Layah Heilpern says the coin is “controversial” at the very least.
