XRP transaction cost is lower than that of Bitcoin and some other notable cryptocurrency. The transaction cost is deducted for every transaction purposely to safeguard the XRP Ledger from disruption by denial-of-service attacks and spams.

This means every transaction made results in the destruction of a small amount of Ripple’s XRP.
However, note that the transaction cost increases as the number of load on XRP network increases. Normally, the transaction cost on the XRP ledger is around 0.00001 XRP (10 drops), but it is may be heightened when the load is higher.
