General information only, not a prediction or recommendation.
Crypto bought on an exchange typically sits on the exchange's balance sheet. Institutional custody holds your XRP separately a structural difference worth understanding before you buy.
How custody worksBuying XRP through a broker works differently from a self-serve exchange order book. Understanding how the two differ helps you choose the path that fits how you want to buy.
See the differenceBuying a significant amount of XRP in one go can move an exchange's order book against you. OTC execution is built for size filling large orders without that market impact.
About OTC tradingXRPA plain-English look at what it is, how it works, and what it's used for, so you can understand the asset before you buy.
XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) a decentralised, open-source blockchain that first went live in 2012. It was built specifically to move value quickly and at low cost, rather than as a general-purpose smart-contract platform.
Instead of the energy-intensive mining used by proof-of-work blockchains, the XRP Ledger reaches agreement through a consensus protocol run by a network of independent validators. These validators confirm the order and validity of transactions roughly every three to five seconds, so payments settle in seconds rather than minutes or hours. Each transaction carries a very small fee, paid in XRP. Rather than going to a miner or validator, that fee is destroyed — permanently removed from the supply — which gradually and slightly reduces the total amount of XRP in existence over time.
XRP is most commonly associated with payments and settlement. Its speed and low per-transaction cost make it suited to moving value between parties, and it can act as a bridge asset — an intermediary used to exchange one currency for another without needing a direct trading pair between them. Beyond payments, XRP is also held by individuals and institutions as a digital asset in its own right, and it can be used to interact with applications and tokens issued on the XRP Ledger.
• Fixed maximum supply. All 100 billion XRP were created when the ledger launched there is no ongoing mining or new issuance.
• Scheduled release. A large portion of the total supply is held in escrow and released into circulation on a set schedule.
• Fast, low-cost settlement. Transactions confirm in seconds and cost a fraction of a cent in network fees.
• No mining. A validator-based consensus protocol secures the ledger, using minimal energy compared with proof-of-work networks.
