One of the main reasons I continue to hold $XRP is its long list of connections and collaborations across the global financial industry.

Bank of America, Banco Santander, SBI Holdings, BBVA, Barclays, HSBC, Siam Commercial Bank, Bank of Thailand, and several other institutions have all been linked to Ripple's payment network or related initiatives over the years.

That doesn't automatically mean all of them use XRP directly. Many institutions use Ripple's technology without using the XRP token itself, while a smaller group use XRP-based liquidity solutions.

For me, the growing institutional interest and Ripple's global reach are key reasons to stay bullish on $XRP
