Ripple introduces XRP as a key tool for capturing time-bound arbitrage trading opportunities in the marketplace. According to the company, XRP’s low transaction costs, high speed, and reliability are ideal for capturing the price difference between exchanges.
The report stated:
“Using XRP as a bridge currency across trading venues allows traders to substantially reduce the time needed to do so, and more importantly, the related volatility exposure when compared to other digital assets, such as BTC and ETH. There is a clear difference between the transaction cost of an asset transfer over $ 10,000 equivalent in BTC, ETH, and XRP originating from Binance to Coinbase. ”
Last quarter saw the continued evolution of XRP infrastructure. FTX integrated the XRP/USD spot listing and began accepting XRP as collateral for all derivatives. Among top crypto exchanges, FTX now holds the largest market share of XRP open interest.
Besides, another notable is Binance launched XRP/USD inverse perpetual swap collateralized in XRP. On its app, Binance launched XRP put, call and straddle options (long-only) as well as leveraged tokens XRP up and XRP down.
