Expanding on Ripple (XRP) use cases
A recent post by Messari provided an in-depth analysis of the Ripple XRPL ecosystem while defining the value of XRP. Ripple’s XRPL currency exchange feature is one of its most popular uses since it has become the backbone of the platform’s commerce.
As a result of this feature, XRP may be traded for other cryptocurrencies and even fiat currency with minimal effort and time spent by the user.
Moreover, NFT capability has been added to the XRPL, and DEXs are currently being built on it. XRP’s utility and potential applications have been expanded through these moves.
There has been a recent uptick in XRPL transactions, as reported by XRPscan. According to the XRP Ledger measurements, the number of transactions processed on the ledger has surpassed 2 million for the first time in over a year.
