Unlike Bitcoin&rsquo;s proof-of-work and Ethereum&rsquo;s proof-of-stake, XRP uses the Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA), which enables transaction settlement in 3-5 seconds with minimal energy consumption. XRP was created with a fixed supply of 100 billion tokens, with Ripple Labs retaining a significant portion in escrow. The token&rsquo;s primary use case is as a bridge currency in Ripple&rsquo;s payment network (RippleNet), which aims to provide a faster and cheaper alternative to traditional correspondent banking systems like SWIFT. XRP/USD has been one of the most volatile and legally notable cryptocurrencies, having been at the center of a landmark SEC lawsuit that shaped cryptocurrency regulatory precedent in the United States.</p>
