While Bitcoin is an actual cryptocurrency and store of value, XRP tokens are essentially backed by traditional (Fiat) currencies, as if they’re dollars or yet or another form. XRP is not intended to be money in the first place, it is a medium of exchange to transact value. It can be seen as a giftcard or token that can be sent in seconds & redeemed for fiat money.
