What is XRP?

XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain created by Ripple Labs designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments. Some financial institutions have used it as a bridge currency for international transfers.

Unlike Bitcoin, the XRP Ledger does not rely on energy-intensive mining. Instead, transactions are validated by a network of independent servers that reach consensus on the order and validity of transactions, allowing confirmation in a few seconds.
