Ripple (XRP) – What is it, how to buy, price chart
What is Ripple
Ripple’s ambition is to free internet payments from exchange fees, transaction processing, as well as significant time delays between sending and receiving payments. Ripple is working with central banks to create CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) as well as with cladic banks to speed up their transactions. Ripple acts here as a “gateway currency” for traditional fiat currencies (USD, GBP, CZK, EUR)
History and origin
The Ripple cryptocurrency was created in 2012 and at the time of its creation exactly 100 billion XRP tokens had been issued, with no more to be created. However, the vast majority of these tokens are owned by Ripple Labs (Ripple).
