XRP's governance and decentralization are under discussion in the cryptocurrency community.
Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, clarified that XRP has no issuer and Ripple only operates one of over 150 validators on the XRP Ledger, making it decentralized.
Unlike other cryptocurrencies, all 100 billion XRP units were created when the XRP Ledger was launched, making it deflationary.
Recent data suggests an 83% chance of the approval of an XRP Exchange Traded Fund by SEC, potentially leading to a surge in XRP price to $5.
