XRP — XRP

A payment rail for banks over which money goes abroad in seconds; the coin serves as an intermediate currency in the exchange.

What it is for

Set out to: fast, cheap payments across several stations and currencies.
Today in addition: Issuance of custom tokens and stablecoins, NFTs, escrow, an EVM sidechain.
Notable: 100 billion created in advance, 55 billion of them placed in escrow by Ripple in 2017; an exchange built into the ledger.
Strength: Settlement in seconds at very low fees.
Weakness: a large share of the supply sits with the issuer and founders.

Contract address

XRP Ledger — its own chain, no contract.

The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

Where the price stands today between its two endpoints — logarithmic, because orders of magnitude lie in between.

The four cycles

Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.
