About XRP
XRP is the cryptocurrency used by the XRP Ledger, a fast, low-cost blockchain designed primarily for payments and cross-border money transfers. Associated with the company Ripple, it aims to help banks and payment providers move value quickly and cheaply as an alternative to traditional correspondent-banking rails. XRP settles transactions in seconds at very low fees. Its price has been heavily influenced by Ripple's long-running legal battle with the US securities regulator over whether XRP is a security. It remains a popular but highly volatile and high-risk asset, and South Africans can buy it on local exchanges.
