đ What is $XRP and why does it matter?
XRP is a cryptocurrency created to make international payments as fast and cheap as sending a text message. It runs on the XRP Ledger, an open and decentralized network that confirms transactions in just 3â5 seconds with almost zero fees. âĄđž
đč Limited supply: 100 billion XRP were created at the start, and no more can ever be generated. In addition, with every transaction, a small fraction is âburned,â reducing supply over time.
đč Bridge currency: Banks and payment companies use it to swap from one currency to another without so many intermediaries. đ
đč Energy efficiency: Unlike Bitcoin, XRP is not mined, making it much more eco-friendly. đ±
đč Legal clarity: In 2020 Ripple (the company behind XRP) was sued by the U.S. SEC, but in 2023 a judge ruled that XRP is not a security in common exchanges, strengthening its position in the market. âïž
In short:
XRP aims to be the global highway of digital money, fast, cheap, and real. Itâs not just a speculative bet; itâs a technology designed to move value in the real world.
