*XRP (Ripple) Coin - Binance Listing & Complete Details*
XRP is one of the oldest and fastest payment cryptocurrencies in the world. It was created by *Ripple Labs in 2012*. Its founders are Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb. The main purpose of XRP is to make international bank payments fast, cheap and secure. Normal banks use the SWIFT system which takes 3 to 5 days to send money and charges $30 to $50 in fees. But XRP's network, the *XRP Ledger (XRPL)*, completes a transaction in just 3 to 5 seconds and the fee is only $0.0002. Its network can handle 1500 transactions per second, while Bitcoin can only handle 7 TPS.
The total supply of XRP is 100 Billion coins which were already minted at launch. There is no mining. It uses a consensus mechanism where validators verify transactions. Ripple company holds 55 Billion XRP locked in escrow wallets which are released little by little every month.
*When was it listed on Binance?*
Binance exchange was launched in July 2017. XRP was first listed on Binance on *4th May 2018*. On that day XRP/BTC and XRP/BNB pairs were opened. This was a very big day for XRP because Binance had become the No.1 exchange in the world in just a few months. After that, Binance also added XRP/USDT, XRP/ETH, XRP/USDC, XRP/TRY and XRP/EUR pairs.
In December 2020, a very big problem occurred. The US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) filed a case against Ripple, saying XRP is an unregistered security. Because of this, Coinbase and Binance US delisted XRP. XRP's price fell from $0.70 to $0.17.
The case went on for 3 years and on *13th July 2023*, Federal Judge Analisa Torres ruled that buying and selling XRP on public exchanges is not a security. This was a huge victory for Ripple. Just one day after this decision, *on 14th July 2023, Binance US, Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp* all relisted XRP. Binance US opened the XRP/USDT pair at 6 AM PDT.
