There is so much misinformation about $XRP being centralized, but let's look at the facts. The XRP Ledger uses a consensus protocol that relies on a majority of validators to record and verify transactions without incentivizing any one party. Validators are different from 1/4 
miners because they aren’t paid when they order and validate transactions. Today, there are over 150 validators that operate at locations across the globe and are run by a broad range of individuals, universities, institutions, exchanges and more. For consensus to be reached 2/4
on the network, at least 80% of the validators must agree. Ripple controls less than 4% of all validators, which gives them no power whatsoever on the #XRPL. Anybody can run a validator and set it up in minutes. 3/4
Put simply, the XRP Ledger is based on an inherently decentralized, democratic, consensus mechanism — which no one party can control. 4/4
