How to exchange ETH for XRP safely and at a good rate
Exchanging ETH for XRP is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Ethereum (ETH) is the leading platform for smart contracts, DeFi and ERC20 tokens. XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger, built for fast international payments between banks and people.
Why swap ETH for XRP
Shifting between ETH and XRP is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. XRP was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send ETH | You receive XRP | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Ethereum (ERC20) | XRP Ledger |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | “r…”, 25–35 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes every 12 seconds | a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet, not on Arbitrum, Base or other layer-2 networks.
- A new XRP address is activated only after it receives the 1 XRP reserve.
- If you’re receiving XRP to an exchange address, be sure to enter that exchange’s memo.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send ETH within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Ethereum (ERC20), a block comes every 12 seconds; on XRP Ledger, a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds. The whole ETH to XRP swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
