Documents from financial institutions show XRP and Stellar Lumens (XLM) are categorized as specialized blockchain protocols designed for banks and institutional finance, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum which serve broader public networks. These protocols are positioned for settlement and payment infrastructure with features like fiat support and fast transactions.

The distinction underscores XRP and XLM's early design focus on institutional use, a point often revisited in crypto discussions about banking adoption.
