$XRP (Ripple):

Consensus Protocol: Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA), which doesn’t require mining.
Key Partnerships: Ripple has partnered with banks, payment providers, and other financial entities, with notable use cases in the banking sector.
$XLM (Stellar):
Symbol: XLM
Primary Use: Designed for individuals and smaller financial institutions to facilitate low-cost transfers, especially beneficial for microtransactions and for the unbanked.
Consensus Protocol: Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), enabling decentralized control and secure consensus without mining.
Key Partnerships: Stellar has partnered with tech companies and NGOs, including IBM, to develop blockchain-based solutions for cross-border payments and financial inclusion.
Both coins have been successful in providing efficient, low-cost transactions on a global scale. $XRP focuses on larger institutions, while xlm aims to make financial services more accessible for individuals.#CryptoAMA #16thBTCWhitePaperAnniv
