XRP is a cryptocurrency designed to facilitate transfers between financial institutions. Ripple, the project behind XRP, differs from both Bitcoin and Litecoin in several key aspects: it relies on sale as opposed to mining as a means of freeing up new currency, and its transaction speeds are of a different order of magnitude (nearly 1,000 transactions per second to Bitcoin's 7 tps). While the ideas behind XRP date back to 2004, the currency was created in 2012 by Jed Caleb and Chris Larsen.
There's excitement in the air regarding an anticipated bull trend on Ripple in coming days.
Experts are saying Ripple is about to explode!!
