XRP functions primarily as a bridge currency, allowing for the transfer of value between different fiat currencies in real-time, aiming to improve the efficiency of international payment systems. It operates on a decentralized ledger technology called the XRP Ledger, which is capable of handling a high volume of transactions in a secure and swift manner.
