Signals To Watch

  • XRP Ledger settles transactions in 3-5 seconds with fees of fractions of a cent
  • Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) product uses XRP as a bridge currency for real-time cross-border settlements
  • No mining — XRP was pre-mined; consensus is reached via the XRP Ledger Consensus Protocol

Risk Checklist

  • SEC litigation is partially ongoing; full regulatory clarity in the US is not yet established
  • Ripple Labs controls a large escrow of XRP, and periodic releases create potential supply pressure
  • Bank adoption of XRP for settlement is still limited relative to Ripple's partnership announcements
