Ripple
a.k.a. XRP
A company and payment network for fast cross-border transfers, closely linked to the XRP cryptocurrency.
Ripple is a US company building payment tools that let banks and money transfer firms move money across borders quickly and cheaply. Its networks can use XRP, a cryptocurrency on the XRP Ledger, as a bridge between currencies. People often use "Ripple" and "XRP" interchangeably, though the company and the coin are technically separate.
XRP's history includes a long legal fight with the US SEC over whether it was sold as a security, a case watched closely across the crypto industry.
