What is XRP?
XRP is the cryptocurrency supported by the XRP Ledger. On that network, XRP was created as the native asset for digital payments.
XRP also plays two practical roles on the XRP Ledger: it helps protect the ledger from spam and can bridge currencies on the ledger's decentralised exchange whenever that is useful to users.
