Ripple (XRP) was launched back in 2012. Once known as ‘open coin,’ Ripple is the only regulated cryptocurrency. This unique feature of Ripple (XRP) has enabled it to partner with traditional financial institutions which ultimately resulted in real-time financial transactions at a very low cost. The fast and cheap transaction is the USP of Ripple. When it comes to international transactions, cross-border payments can take days or even weeks to authenticate and acknowledge, which ultimately results in an increased fee. Sometime it may sum up to trillions if calculated annually. Interestingly, XRP token-based payments have the potential to cut those costs by up to 60%. Transaction speed is an area where Ripple (XRP) stands out leaving other cryptocurrencies miles behind with an average turnaround time of 3 seconds only.
