XRP News

XRP is a digital asset created by Ripple Labs in 2012, designed to facilitate fast, low-cost cross-border payments and serve as a bridge currency between traditional fiat currencies. Unlike Bitcoin's proof-of-work consensus, XRP operates on the XRP Ledger, a decentralized blockchain that uses a unique consensus protocol to validate transactions in seconds rather than minutes.

The XRP ecosystem centers around financial institutions, payment providers, and banks seeking to modernize their cross-border payment infrastructure. Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity service leverages XRP to eliminate the need for pre-funded nostro accounts, while independent developers continue building applications on the XRP Ledger's native decentralized exchange and smart contract capabilities.

At CoinDesk, we provide comprehensive coverage of XRP news, from regulatory developments and institutional adoption to technological upgrades and market analysis. Our reporters track the ongoing legal proceedings between Ripple and the SEC, partnerships with global financial institutions, and the broader implications for cryptocurrency regulation.
