What is Ripple (XRP)?

Unlike many cryptocurrencies that operate on decentralized networks without a central authority, XRP is governed by Ripple, a company positioning itself as a contemporary alternative to the SWIFT banking system.

This platform is actively utilised by banks and other financial institutions. XRP serves as the primary currency within the Ripple network and is integrated into Ripple’s open-source framework, which is adopted by various financial organisations. Rather than competing with other cryptocurrencies, Ripple aims to enhance the traditional SWIFT infrastructure.

Furthermore, XRP tokens are not generated through mining; the total supply is limited to 100 billion XRP, with only a portion circulating in the market at any given time.
