About Ripple:
Ripple is an independent digital asset that is native to the XRP Ledger. This cryptocurrency was created by Ripple Labs Inc. and published in 2005 as a financial service to provide protection payment options to members of the community via a global network. In 2011 it was modernized so that it works faster than Bitcoin. Ripple was characterized by a network block that is generated in as little as 3.5 seconds. On 4 January 2018, Ripple had its own ATH (All-Time High price), which was equal to $3.84.
XRP has become one of the most popular cryptos in the USA. An interesting fact is that the maximum price of XRP had happened 2 weeks after Bitcoin’s ATH. You can see it in the above Ripple price chart.
