About XRP (XRP)
XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open-source decentralized blockchain launched in 2012 by David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto. Ripple Labs, the company most associated with XRP, was founded in 2012 to commercialize XRPL for cross-border payments via its RippleNet and On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) products. XRP's total supply is fixed at 100 billion tokens, with Ripple holding a portion in escrow that is released programmatically each month. In July 2023, a US federal court ruled that XRP itself is not a security in programmatic exchange sales, a landmark decision for the industry.
XRP Technology
The XRP Ledger uses a unique federated consensus protocol (XRPL Consensus Algorithm) rather than Proof-of-Work or Proof-of-Stake. A network of trusted validators reaches agreement on transaction ordering every 3-5 seconds, enabling settlement finality in under five seconds at a cost of fractions of a cent per transaction. The XRPL natively supports decentralized exchange functionality, multi-signature, payment channels, and tokenization. The Hooks amendment is bringing limited smart-contract capability, while a separate EVM sidechain enables Solidity development.
What Moves the XRP Price
XRP trades with significant idiosyncratic volatility tied to court rulings, regulatory news, and partnership announcements rather than purely crypto-market beta. Daily spot volume on Bitstamp, Bitso, and Asian exchanges (where XRP is widely listed) typically exceeds $1 billion. Key drivers include US SEC litigation outcomes, RippleNet partnership news, ODL corridor expansion, Ripple's monthly XRP escrow releases, and pending spot XRP ETF applications.

Where can I buy XRP?
XRP (XRP) is available on major exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and Bybit. Always do your own research and only use regulated platforms.
Is XRP centralized?
XRP's ledger is operated by an independent set of validators (UNL — Unique Node List), and Ripple operates only some of them. Critics call this less decentralized than Bitcoin or Ethereum, but it enables faster finality and lower costs. The 2023 SEC ruling specifically distinguished XRP itself from how Ripple sold it.
What is XRP used for?
XRP is primarily used as a bridge asset for cross-border payments via Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity, allowing financial institutions to settle in seconds without pre-funding nostro accounts. It is also used as a base trading pair, for tokenization on the XRPL, and for fee burning on the ledger.
Does Ripple control XRP supply?
Ripple holds a portion of total XRP supply in time-locked escrow contracts, releasing up to 1 billion per month. Unused amounts are typically returned to escrow. The total supply is capped at 100 billion XRP, and roughly half is in active circulation.
