$XRP XRP, the native cryptocurrency of RippleNet, is commonly traded in pairs such as XRP/USDT, XRP/BTC or XRP/ETH on exchanges. Designed for fast and low-cost cross-border transactions, XRP pairs allow traders to speculate on its value in relation to other assets. Its price often reacts to Ripple's partnerships, regulatory developments (e.g., SEC lawsuits), and market sentiment. Liquidity varies by pair, with XRP/USDT being the most popular. Traders use XRP pairs for arbitrage, hedging, or portfolio diversification. Unlike Bitcoin, XRP is not mined; the 100 billion tokens were pre-mined, with Ripple holding a significant portion. Volatility arises from cryptocurrency market trends and updates in the Ripple ecosystem.
