XRP holders can now access lending markets that allow them to borrow stablecoins using wrapped XRP as collateral. This development marks a new phase of utility for XRP, enabling holders to leverage their assets without selling them.

The current price of XRP is $1.25, representing a 0.65% decline over the past 24 hours and a 2.23% drop over the last seven days. The token's market cap stands at $79.01 billion, making it one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
