XRP, a top 5 cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization, has been making waves lately. Thanks to Grayscale's launch of an XRP Trust, the cryptocurrency is back in the spotlight. But what exactly is XRP? And what does an XRP Trust do? Plus, could we see XRP ETFs in the future? Let's dive in and find out.XRP is a digital currency created by Ripple Labs, designed to make sending money across borders faster and cheaper.

Think of it like a special tool that helps banks and businesses move money around the world quickly, almost like sending an email.

Unlike Bitcoin, which is more like digital gold and meant for anyone to use as money, XRP is focused on improving how traditional banks operate. It doesn’t require mining like Bitcoin; instead, all XRP coins were created at once (100 billion in total), and they are slowly released by Ripple to keep things stable. This makes XRP much quicker for transactions, often taking just a few seconds, compared to Bitcoin's longer processing times.
