The token is used for transaction fees and reserve requirements across the network, making it fundamental to how the system operates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because of this structure, XRP plays a direct role in maintaining network activity and facilitating transfers between participants. According to Infanger, the ledger was designed so that value movement and liquidity functions rely on the same underlying asset.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cXRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger, and it powers all the fees and reserves on the network,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s developer arm, RippleX, focuses on building tools and infrastructure that expand the financial capabilities of the ledger while keeping XRP at the center of transaction activity.<\/p>\n<p>            .article-inside-link {<br \/>\n                margin-left: 0 !important;<br \/>\n                border: 1px solid #0052CC4D;<br \/>\n                border-left: 0;<br \/>\n                border-right: 0;<br \/>\n                padding: 10px 0;<br \/>\n                text-align: left;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<p>            .entry ul.article-inside-link li {<br \/>\n                font-size: 14px;<br \/>\n                line-height: 21px;<br \/>\n                font-weight: 600;<br \/>\n                list-style-type: none;<br \/>\n                margin-bottom: 0;<br \/>\n                display: inline-block;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<p>            .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child {<br \/>\n                display: none;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-inside-link\">\n<li><span>Also Read : <\/span><\/li>\n<li> &nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/why-is-the-crypto-market-up-today-bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-surge-as-liquidations-hit-327m\/\" target=\"_blank\">Why Is the Crypto Market Up Today?<\/a><\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;  &#044;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-auto-bridging-connects-liquidity\"><strong>Auto-Bridging Connects Liquidity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>He further dived into another feature, which is the ledger\u2019s built-in auto-bridging system.
