What is Ripple?

XRP is the native digital currency used on the XRP ledger platform, an open-source, decentralised blockchain platform, used for high-speed global transactions. XRP was created by Ripple, a privately-held fintech company that provides high-speed, inexpensive means of transferring funds globally using RippleNet, Ripple’s global payments network frequently used by a network of banks, financial institutions and payment providers. Here is a breakdown:

Ripple: The fintech company behind the creation of RippleNet, XRP and the XRP Ledger.

RippleNet: A high-speed global payment network that uses the XRP Ledger to validate transactions between banks and other financial institutions.

XRP: The native digital asset used on the XRP Ledger. XRP functions as a payment for products such as; payment settlement, asset exchange, and remittance systems.

XRP Ledger: a permissionless network of peer-to-peer servers used to validate XRP transactions.

Similar to Bitcoin (BTC), XRP can be sent directly between two independent network participants on the Ripple network without the need for an intermediary. XRP transactions use a consensus mechanism known as the XRP Ledger Consensus Protocol, allowing for fast, global transactions.

Unlike Bitcoin, however, and many other digital currencies, XRP does not rely on energy and a computing-intensive proof-of-work mechanism to verify transactions. On the contrary, it relies on independent servers for the validation process. The servers can belong to any person or one of the many global financial institutions.

XRP has many benefits associated with it. One of the largest is that it’s a way to reduce wait times and avoid fees. Ripple and the XRP cryptocurrency will look to compete with banks in the way that it offers payment settlement infrastructure to members of its network.

Who created XRP?

XRP and the XRP Ledger were created by San Francisco-based fintech company, Ripple. Ripple which was previously named “Ripple Labs, was founded in 2004 by Ryan Fugger, who later handed the operation over to Jed McCaleb and Chris Larsen in 2012. The fintech has since seen exponential growth and XRP, becoming one of the biggest cryptos by market cap.

XRP vs SEC

Ripple has been involved in an ongoing lawsuit with the United States Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC has alleged that Ripple’s native crypto token “XRP”, has served as a “security” and therefore should have been duly registered with the government body before being released for sale to the American investor community. Currently, there is no estimated date for when this court case will be settled.
