Bitcoin demonstrated how far blockchain technology could go and paved the way for the entire crypto ecosystem. However, XRP was designed with a different approach.

Brad Garlinghouse has explained that Bitcoin functioned as a solid experiment in digital value, but it was not created for fast and low-cost payments at scale. Instead, XRP was developed to facilitate more efficient transfers, especially in international payments.
