Moreover, XRP-BF2 will act as a bridge for instant swapping without slippage and exchange said that it minted 10 million such tokens for the DEX platform. Other such tokens that Binance issued earlier was Bitcoin-pegged token (BTCB).
“All XRP issued on Binance Chain will be backed 1:1 by native XRP sitting in a publicly disclosed address that can be monitored by anyone at all times,” Binance CEO said in a statement. “With no trading involved, it is always 1:1, there is no spread, no slippage, no fees.”
