When it comes to XRP, many people only know about its lawsuit with Ripple, but the true strength of this chain is actually underestimated.

Let’s talk about positioning — it’s not at all an "Ethereum killer"; it has been focused on one thing from the beginning: cross-border payments. The speed is so fast that settlements take 3-5 seconds, the transaction fees are low enough to be negligible, and its stability outperforms many new chains. Isn’t this exactly what banks want?

What's even more remarkable is that it has a built-in decentralized exchange that has been able to achieve cross-asset exchanges years ahead of Uniswap. Moreover, since its launch in 2012, it hasn't had any major incidents for over a decade, which is nothing short of miraculous in the cryptocurrency space.

Looking at the economic model again: a total of 100 billion coins are locked, and each transaction will destroy a little bit of XRP. There is no pressure for additional issuance, leading to natural deflation.

⚠️ The core is just one sentence: XRP does not compete with smart contract platforms like #美联储恢复降息节奏 for market share; what it aims to do is build the infrastructure for global payment clearing. Different tracks naturally mean different approaches.
