XRP News Today: XRP Holders Mine Profits Without Risk or Hardware

XRP holders are increasingly exploring alternative avenues to generate daily returns without exposing themselves to the volatility of traditional trading. Several platforms have introduced cloud mining contracts powered by XRP, offering users a passive income stream by leveraging the token’s unique attributes of speed, low cost, and scalability. These platforms aim to simplify the mining process, eliminating the need for users to purchase expensive hardware or manage complex infrastructure.

One such platform, GoldenMining, provides XRP-based mining contracts that allow users to participate in cryptocurrency mining using XRP as a payment method. Users can select from a range of contract options, from short-term $15 investments to high-tier $55,000 contracts, each offering varying daily returns. For example, a $55,000 contract on GoldenMining generates approximately $1,056 per day over 47 days, yielding a total profit of $49,632. This model appeals to both novice and experienced users by offering a user-friendly interface, transparent pricing, and insurance-backed security through AIG[3].

The emergence of XRP-based cloud mining is being driven in part by the token's widespread adoption in cross-border payments. Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL) is used by financial institutions to facilitate fast and low-cost transactions, a feature that platforms like GoldenMining are now extending to individual investors. By converting idle XRP holdings into computing power, users can benefit from daily returns while avoiding the risk of price fluctuations. Additionally, some platforms provide incentives, such as daily sign-in bonuses and referral rewards, further enhancing the appeal of these offerings[5].

However, the XRP market has experienced notable volatility, with recent price fluctuations driven by factors such as regulatory uncertainty and large-scale token sales. On August 21–22, 2025, a selloff of 470 million XRP tokens caused significant price drops, with resistance forming at the $2.92 level. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also delayed rulings on XRP-related exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, adding to the uncertainty. Despite these challenges, platforms that offer cloud mining services using XRP are gaining traction, as they provide a stable income stream regardless of price movements[2].

The rise of XRP-based mining contracts is also being supported by the broader trend toward green energy in the blockchain sector. Platforms like Find Mining and Blockchain CloudMining emphasize the use of renewable energy sources, including hydroelectric, wind, and solar power, to reduce the environmental impact of mining operations. These companies operate in low-cost energy regions and manage the technical aspects of mining, allowing users to focus on their daily returns without dealing with the complexities of traditional mining operations[6].

Critics, however, caution that the performance of XRP-based mining contracts may not be directly correlated with the token’s price movements. While XRP has surged 970% since August 2020, with a $500 investment growing to $5,350, the future appreciation of the token may not necessarily translate to higher mining returns. This is because many financial institutions use Ripple’s blockchain technology without holding XRP tokens, limiting the demand-side pressure that could drive further price gains[1]. Nevertheless, the cloud mining model remains attractive for XRP holders seeking to generate passive income while navigating the unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market.
