XRP is a digital asset and cryptocurrency created by Ripple Labs Inc. It is designed to facilitate fast and low-cost international money transfers and remittances. XRP acts as a bridge currency in financial transactions, enabling the exchange of different currencies without the need for a traditional intermediary. The primary aim of XRP is to enhance the efficiency of cross-border payments, allowing financial institutions to settle transactions quickly and securely.
XRP operates on a decentralized blockchain called the XRP Ledger, which is designed to support real-time transactions that can settle in seconds. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, XRP does not rely on mining for transaction validation; instead, it uses a consensus mechanism among network validators to confirm transactions, making it more environmentally friendly.
XRP’s supply was pre-mined, with a total of 100 billion coins created, which has led to discussions about centralization and governance within the Ripple network. XRP has gained attention as a potential solution to the inefficiencies within the traditional banking system, though it has faced regulatory scrutiny in various jurisdictions.
