How does XRP work?
Imagine you’re planning a trip to India. You start in the UK with Great British Pounds (GBP), but how do you get the Indian Rupees (INR) you need? Well, you’d probably go to a currency exchange stand or a bank. The person at the desk will take your GBP, convert it into USD (the world’s reserve currency), and then into INR. It’s not a bad process, but it is rather slow and expensive.Ripple Labs aims to cut out this process with XRP. Its goal is to peg every currency in the world to XRP and make it a universal bridge currency. Instead of requiring hundreds of different exchange rates between foreign currencies, XRP bridges all of them.
What if you wanted to send money to a friend overseas? If you send by bank transfer, you’d probably have to wait for 3 to 5 business days, pay a conversion fee, and then pay the bank a small fee.
No thanks.
XRP aims for real-time settlement. Instead of 3 to 5 days, how about 3 to 5 seconds? And, unlike other cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH, which can process 5 and 15 transactions per second (TPS), respectively, XRP has a TPS of 1500. Finally, because XRP doesn’t need to be mined, the gas fee is almost obsolete
This bold mission and its already notable presence in the financial world make XRP seem like a pretty great project. However, some key warning signs can’t be ignored.
The centralisation of power
When Ripple was founded, it was set to release 80 billion tokens to the public, while 20 billion were distributed to 3 founders.So far, 45 billion tokens are in circulation. What will happen to the value of XRP when the other 35 billion tokens are released into circulation? How will this supply shock affect the price?
One of the three founders has also been dumping coins over the past two years. It’s not very encouraging when one of a project’s creators is dumping his own coins.
As advocates of decentralisation, this extreme centralisation of power is not very appealing. Imagine three people having control of 20% of the money in the world. To add to this, recent allegations from the SEC have also worried avid fans of cryptocurrency.
The SEC Allegations
The SEC is arguing that, despite claiming to be a currency, Ripple Labs has treated XRP like a security. They’re suggesting it’s being traded like a stock or equity instead of a currency, giving the SEC jurisdiction over XRP. This allegation in 2020 obliterated the XRP price point, but it made a pretty solid recovery through the bull market.Industry experts are pretty confident Ripple Labs will win the case and move forward with its mission. However, time has yet to tell that tale.
All these facts are pretty damning, but we’d be lying if we said Ripple Lab’s mission statement wasn’t an exciting one. Maybe one day, Ripple will make sending money across the internet as easy as sending an email.
How do you think Ripple’s war with the SEC will end? Do you think they’ll achieve their mission statement? Comment below. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
