Actually XRP isn't a coin at all. It's a piece of code. Each XRP is divided into a million drops, which are also bits of computer code akin to a private key. It is these drops which will support the transmission of USD, GBP, EUR etc via the Ripple system. A typical bank won't need more than a few dollars worth of XRP to be able to carry out tens of millions of transactions. That's not enough to cause any impact on the price.
