XRP INVESTING GUIDE
How to Invest in XRP Using Robinhood
Lesson 1: What is XRP?
XRP is a cryptocurrency, just like Bitcoin or Ethereal, but its main purpose is to make global payments faster and cheaper.
- XRP is the native token for the Ripple Network
which aims to simplify cross-border transactions for banks and payment systems.
Lesson 2: Getting Started with Robinhood
1. Download the Robinhood App
Go to the App Store or Google Play Store and download the Robinhood app if you don't have it already.
2. Create a Robinhood Account
- Open the app and sign up with your email and create a password.
- You'll need to provide some personal details like your name, address, and Social Security Number (for tax purposes).
- After signing up, you might need to link your
bank account
ONLY LINK DEBIT CARD
Lesson 3: How to Buy XRP on Robinhood
1. Fund Your Account
Link your bank account or use a debit card to transfer money into your Robinhood account.
- This can take a few business days, but you can start trading once the funds are available.
2. Search for XRP
- In the Robinhood app, use the search bar to find
XRP. It might show up as XRP/USD
- If XRP is available in your region (it might not be available everywhere), you’ll see it listed like other stocks or cryptocurrencies.
3. Place an Order to Buy XRP
- Once you’ve found XRP, tap on it to open the details page.
- Select the “Buy”button.
- Choose how much XRP you want to buy. Robinhood lets you buy fractional XRP, so you don’t need to buy a whole XRP. You can buy any dollar amount.
Review your purchase !!!!
Robinhood will show the price and any fees involved.
4. Confirm Your Purchase
- After reviewing the order, click “Buy” to complete your purchase.
Lesson 4: Storing Your XRP
Robinhood Wallet: When you buy XRP on Robinhood, it stays in your Robinhood account (similar to how stocks stay in your Robinhood account). You don’t need an extra wallet to store it, but remember that:
- Robinhood doesn't offer full control over your crypto like other platforms. This means you can't transfer.. your XRP out of Robinhood to a personal wallet (for now).
- However, Robinhood has plans to roll out crypto transfers in the future, so that could change.
Lesson 5: Selling XRP
1. Go to Your XRP Holdings:
Tap on XRP in your Robinhood app to view your holdings.
2. Select “Sell”: You can sell all or a portion of your XRP.
3. Confirm the Sale: Review the details and tap “Sell” to confirm your transaction.
Lesson 6: Risks and Things to Keep in Mind
Price Volatility: Cryptocurrencies like XRP can be very volatile, meaning prices can go up or down very quickly. Be ready for potential losses.
Regulatory Risks: XRP has faced legal issues in the past with the SEC. While this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going away, it’s important to stay updated on news about XRP.
Limited Control: Since Robinhood doesn’t offer private wallets, if you want to control your XRP fully, you might want to transfer it off the app once transfer features become available.
Bonus Tip: Watch Your Investment
Track Your Investment: Robinhood allows you to set up price alerts, so you’ll get notified if XRP hits a price you care about.
