In a move that has excited the XRP community, Binance.US, the American arm of the largest cryptocurrency exchange, recently published facts about XRP.
This release comes shortly after the end of the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), where the court issued a ruling that the majority of the crypto community sees as a major victory for Ripple.
In its post on X, Binance shed light on several fundamental aspects of XRP, including its origins and technical capabilities. The exchange highlighted that XRP, created in 2012 by a team including David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto, is designed for real-world financial applications.
Binance also mentioned the technology that powers XRP. Notably, XRP leverages the XRP Ledger Consensus Protocol (XRPL CP) for transaction validation, enabling the network to process a high volume of transactions – up to 1,500 per second.
This scalability is a crucial feature for facilitating fast and efficient cross-border payments. This is a core function of the XRP ecosystem, and the network is scalable and can handle tens of thousands of transactions per second if needed.
Regulatory Clarity Paves the Way for Renewed Interest
In the recent ruling, the court ordered Ripple to settle with the SEC for $125 million, providing much-needed clarity regarding the regulatory landscape for XRP. This has demonstrably impacted market sentiment, with XRP experiencing a significant price surge following the ruling, breaching the $0.6 level.

However, the upward momentum has encountered resistance. Despite the positive developments, a recent analysis by Santiment reveals a decline in XRP reserves on cryptocurrency exchanges.
This suggests that investors are accumulating XRP, potentially anticipating a future price increase. The rise in withdrawals further reinforces the growing bullish sentiment within the XRP holder community.
While retail investors, those holding 10,000 XRP or less, are demonstrably accumulating the asset, a different trend is emerging among larger holders. Data indicates that whales holding between 1 million and 100 million XRP are reducing their holdings. This suggests a potential profit-taking strategy by these larger investors.
While these whales seem to prefer short-term profits or might be reassessing their positions, the shift toward smaller retail investors means the broader community will enjoy the profits from the massive surges analysts have predicted.
