FAQ
XRP is a digital asset that powers the XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open-source and decentralized blockchain launched in 2012. Designed for efficiency, XRP facilitates value transfers and various applications within the XRP Ledger ecosystem. The network includes a built-in decentralized exchange (DEX) and native support for tokenization, providing a framework for developers and businesses to create financial tools and digital asset solutions.
XRP operates on the XRP Ledger, which utilizes a Federated Consensus mechanism rather than mining. Independent validators across the network collectively verify transactions and establish agreement on transaction order. This approach enables fast settlement without relying on a central authority. The XRP Ledger remains permissionless, allowing anyone to run a validator node and participate in network operations.
XRP is utilized in various applications, particularly in payments and decentralized finance (DeFi). The XRP Ledger supports remittances, tokenized assets, and decentralized applications, as well as use cases involving central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and stablecoins. Its fast processing times and built-in functionalities provide a foundation for financial institutions and developers seeking blockchain-based solutions.
XRP and the XRP Ledger were introduced in 2012 by David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto as an alternative blockchain focused on transaction efficiency. Later that year, they, along with Chris Larsen, co-founded Ripple to explore XRP's role in digital payments. A portion of XRP was allocated to Ripple to fund ecosystem development and encourage adoption.
As of December 2024, approximately 57 billion XRP tokens are in circulation out of a fixed total supply of 100 billion. Unlike cryptocurrencies that use mining, all XRP was pre-issued at launch. The remaining tokens are periodically released from escrow, following a controlled distribution model designed to manage supply availability and minimize market disruptions.
XRP’s future value is uncertain and depends on adoption, regulatory factors, and overall market demand. Predicting the price of XRP in 2030 involves speculation, as it is influenced by the expansion of use cases within the XRP Ledger and broader financial trends. While increased adoption could impact its valuation, various market forces contribute to price unpredictability.
Reaching $500 would require substantial market demand, increased adoption, and large-scale use in global transactions. While discussions around XRP’s potential growth continue, such a price level is highly speculative and significantly deviates from historical trends. Market conditions, utility expansion, and external economic factors all play a role in shaping XRP’s valuation.
The XRP Ledger uses a consensus protocol where independent validators determine transaction validity and order. Unlike proof-of-work systems, this approach enhances efficiency while maintaining decentralization. The consensus mechanism is designed to mitigate security threats, ensuring consistent transaction finality and protecting against network manipulation.
XRP can be stored in hardware wallets for offline security or software wallets for easy access via apps or desktop platforms. When choosing a wallet, consider security features, ease of use, and private key management. Using wallets that support self-custody can provide additional control over holdings.
XRP can be sold through cryptocurrency exchanges, where it can be traded for other digital assets or fiat currencies. Peer-to-peer platforms also allow direct transactions between users. Before selling, consider transaction fees, regional regulations, and the reliability of the platform used. Keeping track of trades may help with compliance and reporting requirements.

The Future of XRP: What to expect in 2025
After years of sideways price action caused in part by a long-running legal dispute between the SEC and payments platform Ripple, XRP woke up in a big way after last year’s U.S. presidential election, rising more than 400% in a matter of weeks.
Now, with the lawsuit largely settled, the token could be poised for an even bigger 2025. XRP started the year up 15%, before pulling back on Tuesday.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, whose global payments firm uses XRP across its network, said that a positive political backdrop following Donald Trump’s win has helped significantly boost business. “We signed more U.S. deals in the last six weeks of 2024 (since the election) than the previous six months,” Garlinghouse said in a recent post on X.
Another potential boon to XRP prices? The increasing likelihood of a spot ETF launching this year. “The chances of approval have risen lately with a crypto-friendly face – Paul Atkins – heading the SEC under the Trump administration,” said an article in Forbes.

Making Ripples: Why XRP just rallied more than 450%
As of Tuesday, XRP, which is the native token of the payments network XRP Ledger, was up around 480% in the last month, peaking around $2.90 — its highest price in nearly seven years. So, why is XRP breaking out?
Stablecoin developments: Ripple is reportedly on the verge of launching an institutional investor-focused U.S. dollar stablecoin called RLUSD on XRPL, a move that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says should serve “as a complement, or even an accelerant to what Ripple’s doing at its core.” “XRP’s recent strength seems to be driven by the news last week that NYDFS is close to approving Ripple’s stablecoin,” Presto Research’s Peter Chung told The Block.
ETF applications: Following on the success of the spot BTC and ETH ETFs that launched last year, Wall Street is also anticipating the potential arrival of ETFs for XRP. This week, WisdomTree — which manages more than $100 billion in assets — became the fourth firm to seek approval from the SEC to launch a spot XRP ETF, joining Bitwise, 21Shares, and Canary Capital.
Regulatory optimism: XRP is also likely benefitting from the general market optimism regarding the incoming U.S. presidential administration, along with the most pro-crypto congress ever, and the expectation that the regulatory landscape will improve with the passage of crypto legislation in the coming year.
