What is XRP?
XRP is the token of the XRP Ledger, launched in 2012 and associated with Ripple, focused on fast cross-border payments. Its price was long influenced by the US SEC's case against Ripple, opened in 2020. A Layer 1 is a standalone blockchain: it validates its own transactions through its own consensus (proof of work or proof of stake), and its native token pays fees and often secures the network through staking.
How XRP works and what gives it value
A Layer 1's value depends on the activity it hosts: applications, stablecoins, DeFi volume, active addresses. More usage means more demand for the token (fees, staking, collateral). Layer 1s compete on speed, cost, security and decentralisation.
