What is Ripple?
Ripple is a network for international payments. XRP is the coin used on that network to transfer value between parties, usually within seconds and at low cost.
You never have to buy a whole XRP. At BTC Direct you buy Ripple from €30, and you automatically get the fraction that matches your amount.
Keep in mind that the value of XRP moves. Your deposit can become worth less.
Buying Ripple in 3 steps
Create a free account
An account is free. You verify your identity once with an ID document, which takes a few minutes.
Choose where you keep your Ripple
Your XRP arrives in your own wallet, so you need one. No wallet yet? Then create one first.
Buy Ripple on our platform

Straight to your own wallet
In crypto the saying goes: not your keys, not your coins. Only whoever holds the keys to a wallet truly owns the coins in it. That's why we send your Ripple straight to your own wallet with every purchase, so you don't depend on a platform. No wallet yet? Read more below about the types of wallets there are.
What does it cost to buy Ripple?
You always see up front what you pay. We deliberately break the price down, so it's clear where your money goes:
- the network fees for sending your Ripple
- the cost of your payment method
- the cost of BTC Direct
You'll always find this breakdown in the order form. Before you confirm, we show per item what you pay and how much XRP you get for it. Buying starts from €30. Want to know more? Read our pricing policy.
