What Is Xrp? A Cryptocurrency Created For The Financial Sector

Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEXRP is a digital asset designed for fast, low-cost global payments and serves as the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger, a decentralized, open-source blockchain created by Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto, and David Schwartz. As of January 2025, XRP is the third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, after Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to CoinGecko.What is XRP?Launched in 2012 alongside the Ripple Network, XRP has a maximum supply of 100 million coins and reached its last all-time high of $3.40 on January 7, 2018.Unlike Bitcoin, which acts as a decentralized store of value or digital gold, XRP was developed specifically to facilitate efficient cross-border transactions, particularly for financial institutions and payment providers.While Ripple (originally Ripple Labs) leverages XRP in some of its payment solutions, and plays a key role in its ecosystem, the XRP Ledger operates independently as a decentralized semi-permissionless network of servers.How does the XRP blockchain work?While blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum use proof-of-work and proof-of-stake consensus algorithms, respectively, the XRP Ledger utilizes a unique consensus protocol called the Ripple Consensus Algorithm to validate transactions where independent validators agree on transactions.The Ripple Consensus Algorithm ensures network agreement without proof-of-work or staking. Each node confirms transactions using a Unique Node List (UNL) of trusted validators. In rounds of consensus, nodes propose transaction sets, adjust them based on their UNL’s votes, and finalize those with at least 80% agreement. This prevents fraud while maintaining efficiency.RPCA achieves Byzantine fault tolerance—resilience against faulty or malicious nodes attempting to disrupt consensus—while maintaining minimal latency, making it ideal for payments

Cryptio Raises $15M in Series A

Crypto accounting platform Cryptio raised $15 million in a Series A extension, bringing the total to $25 million. The round was led by existing investor Alven, with new participation from 1kx and Ledger Cathay Capital. Cryptio aims to support TradFi entities in offering digital asset products. The funding comes amid expectations of more banks offering crypto services following the repeal of the SEC's SAB 121 rule, which had required companies to record customers' crypto on their balance sheets.
