XRP (XRP) — Price & Briefing

XRP is built for one job: moving value across borders quickly and cheaply. It acts as a bridge currency — a bank or payment firm can convert dollars to XRP, send it in seconds, and convert out into another currency without pre-funding foreign accounts.

• How it is secured: Federated consensus (no mining)
• Supply: 100 billion created at launch; supply only shrinks as fees burn

What to watch

XRP spent years under a legal cloud from an SEC lawsuit against Ripple; courts ruled in 2023 that XRP sales on public exchanges were not securities sales, and the case has largely wound down since. Its price still reacts strongly to legal and regulatory headlines.
