What is Ripple (XRP) cryptocurrency?
Besides Bitcoin and Ether, XRP is the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization (at the time of writing). Like the top two cryptocurrencies, XRP, the token, is linked to a technology platform, Ripple, which was conceived as a way to facilitate cheaper payments and money transfers across borders and because of this, it has received significant interest from major banks around the world.
Those who love the cryptocurrency point to its potential to
radically reduce friction in the global finance system. Its detractors say that
XRP shouldn’t even be considered a “cryptocurrency” (in the classical sense of
the word) since its Ripple Consensus Ledger does not necessarily use XRP as an
incentive to network node operators in the same manner as Bitcoin or Ether and
because the platform can allegedly freeze funds arbitrarily.
Despite this fact, XRP remains popular with cryptocurrency
investors and the Ripple platform has attracted strong interest from major
players in the financial industry. Another important fact to know is that
Ripple Labs currently controls 61% of the supply of XRP and the company
regularly sells amounts of XRP on the market to fund its operations. What is cryptocurrency XRP

investment firm Tetragon in December 2019.
