@jakeclaverqfop: XRP and XLM share architectural roots, high historical link, and similar value transfer cases. XLM has a smaller total supply after burning half, but XRP’s escrowed supply keeps effective circulating supply constrained too. XRP targets institutional backend settlement between enterprises and clearing houses. XLM targets consumer-facing peer-to-peer payments and merchant services. Both facilitate value exchange. They fill different parts of the same ecosystem rather than competing directly.
