About XRP
XRP is a digital asset native to the XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open-source, permissionless, and decentralized blockchain technology designed specifically for the financial services industry. Launched in 2012, XRP was created to act as a faster, cheaper, and more sustainable alternative to traditional payment systems like SWIFT and to overcome the limitations of older cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. While often associated with the technology company Ripple, XRP is independent of the company and operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network maintained by a global community of validators.
