Description
XRP is a digital asset developed by Ripple Labs Inc. that aims to enable fast, low‑cost, and scalable cross‑border payments. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that focus on decentralized finance, XRP is primarily used by financial institutions and payment providers to settle transactions on a global scale.
The token runs on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open‑source, consensus‑based blockchain that can confirm a transaction in 3‑5 seconds. The smallest unit of XRP is called a “drop” (1 drop = 0.000001 XRP). Ripple’s network, RippleNet, leverages XRP as a bridge currency to provide liquidity without the need for pre‑funded nostro accounts.
