Ripple, also known as XRP, is an inexpensive digital currency that has achieved significant growth and is attracting interest from those looking to buy cheap currencies now and hold them for a short period until they reach a high price and then sell. Launched in 2012 by an American company in San Francisco, this currency has reached a market value of approximately $8 billion. It is intended for use in commercial transactions and is intended for use at electronic exchanges. It enables people to send and pay money without the hassles and waiting times that occur with cash in the real world. Approximately 25 other exchanges have supported it this year, adding it to the digital currencies that investors can trade and buy.

The Bitcoin craze has given some luster to other digital currencies such as Litecoin and Ethereum, and now it's Ripple's turn, which has surged in recent weeks.

According to a report by CNN Money, Ripple has become a hot topic of conversation and is currently trading below $2.50 with a market cap of over $100 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. This comes after trading at just 25 cents in early December.

Even as Ripple—also known as XRP—has risen, its value is significantly lower than Bitcoin, despite its recent decline last month, trading at around $15,000 with a market cap of over $250 billion.

The Origins of Ripple

- Ripple differs from Bitcoin in that its supply is controlled by a single company of the same name based in San Francisco. There are reports that current and former executives have become billionaires thanks to the cryptocurrency's recent surge.

Ripple was launched in 2012 to facilitate global financial transactions. It stands out from other cryptocurrency platforms because of its connections to legitimate banks that use its platform, including Santander, Bank of America, and UBS.

In recent weeks, financial services companies in Japan and South Korea have adopted Ripple technology, helping to boost the price of the cryptocurrency.
