All the latest news and key insights you need from XRP
Ripple is a blockchain-based digital payment protocol designed to enable fast, low-cost international money transfers. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies that aim to replace banks, Ripple works with financial institutions to improve cross-border payment infrastructure. It uses a decentralized ledger and the XRP token to settle transactions in seconds, making it a powerful alternative to SWIFT and other outdated systems. Ripple’s core value proposition lies in its ability to provide liquidity and instant settlement for global payments using blockchain technology.
Ripple was created to solve the inefficiencies in global banking and remittance systems. Traditional cross-border payments are slow, expensive, and involve multiple intermediaries. Transactions can take days and come with high fees and uncertainty in settlement times. Ripple was built to eliminate these issues by creating a unified blockchain network where banks and financial institutions can transfer money instantly and transparently, with reduced cost and minimal friction. Its mission is to modernize the global financial system by enabling real-time payments anywhere in the world.
$XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger and plays a central role in the Ripple ecosystem. It acts as a bridge currency, facilitating instant liquidity for cross-border payments. XRP is used to pay transaction fees on the network, preventing spam and ensuring efficiency. Beyond its use in payments, XRP can also be staked or held for speculative investment. While Ripple Labs does not control XRP, it holds a significant portion in escrow and periodically releases it to fund network development and partnerships.
The XRP Ledger launched with 100 billion XRP and a consensus model for fast, low-cost transactions.
The U.S. SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs, alleging unregistered securities sales, causing major market disruptions.
Ripple secured a partial legal victory as a U.S. court ruled XRP was not a security on public exchanges.
Ripple Labs was founded to build and promote XRPL as a financial infrastructure for global payments.
