And what are the advantages of locking up the XRP?
I provided several examples in the blog. I think the most common examples I've seen so far expressed are based on not wanting to overreact to the market swings and roller-coaster rides.
While XRP tends to be stable, it is not immune from volatility. Putting an investment "away until some point in the future" is a good idea to a lot of people.
Of course, organizations like banks and FIs use crypto conditions in combination with contracts, which is really what its purpose is.
