RIPPLE
Ripple enables financial institutions to integrate blockchain and digital assets into their businesses. The blockchain positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain technology, focusing on practical applications that enhance existing financial systems. The Ripple ecosystem includes the XRP Ledger, a layer-1 blockchain designed for payments and financial applications, and RLUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by cash and U.S. Treasuries. XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger that’s used for transaction fees.
