The support for XRP Ledger now makes Gemini a platform with compatibility for 14 blockchain networks, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Litecoin (LTC). With a peer-to-peer network of nodes run by Ripple, the XRP Ledger is supported by the native XRP token. Ripple, armed by XRP, has a range of products in its crypto solutions business. The Ripple products work on reducing the cost and time taken for cross-border transactions and remittances while the token works as a bridge currency. The XRP token is used to settle transactions in multiple fiat currencies for financial institutions.

The XRP relisting by US based exchanges reopens a new chapter for Ripple’s partnerships in the country. Recently, the company’s officials revealed they have been re-exploring opportunities following the historic Summary Judgment in the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit handing it a relief when it comes to retail sale of the tokens.
