XRP and NFT Digital Currencies: Growth, Trends and Market Status

• XRP is a cryptocurrency and native token of Ripple. It was founded by Jed McCaleb and Chris Larsen in 2011.
• NFTs are assets that are tokenized via blockchain.
• Both are highly active in the digital currency market with good capitalization.

XRP and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are digital currencies. XRP is a digital asset that works as a form of exchange in Ripple Labs, whereas NFTs are assets that can be exchanged and traded for money, other NFTs, and cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency is also a type of token, just like NFTs but differs from them in its interchangeability. 

XRP And Its Trends

It is a cryptocurrency and a token that Ripple Labs (a centralized financial technology company) uses for transactions on its network. It enhances global financial transfers and exchanges of several currencies. XRP is cost-effective, less energy-intensive, and has faster transaction times than Bitcoin. 

Although it is an open-source digital asset independent of Ripple, XRP acts as a bridge between hard-to-match fiat currencies. It provides on-demand liquidity (ODL) for Ripple’s flagship. XRP can handle more than 1,500 transactions in under five seconds. The XRP trend says that it is +0.61% in the last 24 hours with a circulating supply of 52.98 Billion and the live price of XRP is $ 0.508549 per coin with a current market cap of $26.94 Billion. 

NFT And Its Trends

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. These are assets that are tokenized via the blockchain. These are distinguished from other tokens by unique identification codes and metadata. These are exchanged and traded for cryptocurrencies, money, or other NFTs. 

Cryptocurrency is also a form of token but the key difference between NFTs and cryptocurrencies is that cryptocurrencies from the same blockchain are interchangeable but two NFTs from the same blockchain, despite being identical, cannot be interchanged. These can be anything from sports highlights and collectibles like art to computer-generated avatars. 

The value of NFT is completely dependent on the demand for it. Certain gaming avatars or artwork have sold for millions but lost their value with time. Hence, not every NFT is appreciable in value. NFTs either have a fixed selling price or there is a need to bid for them in an auction.

The NFT market has grown rapidly over the past few years. The trend in NFTs is due to the advent of Web 3. The new iteration provides asset ownership, rewards through NFTs, monetization, and greater control over intellectual property and personal data. 

The top NFT trends are likely to dominate the market, which includes Personality NFTs, Music NFTs, NFT-powered art marketplaces, NFT-based decentralized finance (DeFi), and DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). 

Conclusion

XRP and NFTs are both forms of digital currency. Their trends are going high in the market because of their high market capitalization. These are highly used by users as well. XRP is better than Bitcoin in some cases, such as cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency and scalability, because of the high transaction speed and transaction throughput. It is an open-source digital asset that works independently of the company Ripple as well.
