I Tried an XRP Vending Machine and This is What I Discovered
As part of the Binance team and passionate about everything related to the real adoption of cryptocurrencies, I am always looking for new ways to experience how crypto can be integrated into daily life. Recently, I had the opportunity to try something very interesting: a vending machine that accepts payments in XRP. Yes, an XRP Vending Machine!
A New Way to Pay with Crypto
At first glance, it looked like a regular vending machine, but instead of coins or cards, the only thing it accepts is XRP. This innovation aims to demonstrate how cryptocurrencies, in this case Ripple (XRP), can be applied to everyday transactions like buying a drink or a snack.
My Step-by-Step Experience
I approached, selected the product, and a QR code appeared on the screen with the wallet address and the exact amount in XRP. I scanned the code from my wallet, and within seconds, the machine processed the payment and delivered the product to me. Fast, simple, and frictionless.
It was one of those times when technology simply works, and it works well. The transaction was almost instantaneous, with a virtually zero fee, and no need for intermediaries.
Why XRP?
XRP stands out for its speed — with settlement times of just 3-5 seconds — and its low fees, making it ideal for micropayments. Although its use is often associated with transfers between banks, this experience demonstrated its potential for everyday payments.
What It Represents for the Future
These types of initiatives are small steps toward mass adoption. Imagine train stations, universities, or events where you can pay for anything directly with your crypto wallet. It's not just possible; it's practical.
At Binance, we support any innovation that helps bring cryptocurrencies closer to the real world. And an XRP Vending Machine is precisely that: a window into what could be the future of decentralized payments.
$XRP 📢 Ripple accelerates its global expansion with new partners in the United Arab Emirates
Ripple continues to strengthen its international presence by incorporating Zand Bank and Mamo as new partners in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This collaboration comes after obtaining the license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) in March, allowing Ripple to offer blockchain-based cross-border payment services in the region.
Zand Bank, the first digital bank in the UAE, and Mamo, a fintech focused on payment solutions, will use the Ripple Payments platform to facilitate faster and more efficient international transfers. This platform combines stablecoins, cryptocurrencies, and fiat currencies to optimize payment processes.
Additionally, Ripple Payments already operates in over 90 markets and has processed more than $70 billion in global transactions, using XRP as a bridge currency in certain operations.
🔗 What does this mean for the crypto ecosystem?
Ripple's expansion in the UAE reinforces institutional adoption of blockchain solutions in key markets. With the integration of Zand Bank and Mamo, greater efficiency in international payments is expected, benefiting both businesses and consumers.
📈 And what about the price of XRP?
Despite a recent market correction, some analysts predict that XRP could reach $10 by the end of 2025, driven by the growing demand and utility of the Ripple network.

I recommend that you buy at least until you reach 1000 XRP. If its price reaches 10 dollars, you will have 10,000, but if its price reaches 100 or 1000, do the math

I'm kind of a newbie, I have a question, I have 220 xrp's, when I sell at a higher price to buy back at a lower price, do I sell everything or just a part? What is more worth it?
never sold, bought on the dip and also on the rise in smaller proportion

I felt terror and I was tempted to sell my XRP but something inside me told me you didn't sell at 3.2, why would you sell at a loss!?
I changed my decision and invested 125 dollars more in #xrp , something like about 500 thousand Colombian pesos. I was going to spend them on, who knows what whim or sudden craving. I hope I wasn't wrong and if yes!!? then it will be one more experience.
But you who are reading this paragraph and perhaps have more experience in the world of cryptocurrencies... give me a reason why you would sell at a loss 🔴🔴!?
Isn't the principle of trading to buy cheap and sell high?

Egrag points to the charts from 2017 and 2021. Both times, XRP suffered massive crashes – dropping over 70 percent – before it eventually exploded higher by 1,000 to 2,700 percent. He says the current setup, with XRP falling hard and testing its key long-term support (the 200-day moving average), looks very similar to those previous cycles right before t…

$XRP Did you not know that there is already a Ripple ETF that started trading on the New York Stock Exchange today? You can find it listed under the following name: TEUCRIUM 2X LONG DAILY XRP ETF XXRP
The truth is that you still have no idea what Ripple means, much less $XRP . Sell, and you will see how very big people take advantage of this situation. If investing 100 dollars seems too risky to you, it's better not to enter this market full of sharks. Take a look at the large addresses, and you will see how they are buying large and enormous volumes of coins. Those are the banks and the big investors. The rest keep making mental payments and sell.
