The XRP Ledger exposes account balances directly, in real time, to anyone who knows the address. Getting paid in XRP through a raw account means handing every client a live window into your holdings, your income, and every counterparty you have ever dealt with. A Houdini Pay link lets you invoice and collect in XRP without ever revealing the account behind it.
The moment a client pays your raw XRP address, they can query your current balance, your entire payment history, and every account you have transacted with. On the XRP Ledger this takes seconds and needs no special tools, because balances sit at the account level rather than behind a contract. A Houdini Pay link keeps that account private, so the payment reaches you without the payer ever learning where it landed.
Clients who can see your balance have leverage over you. If a client checks your XRP address before agreeing terms and finds a healthy balance, or watches previous invoices land and infers what your other clients pay, they will negotiate harder. A Houdini Pay link keeps your balance, your rates, and your other income invisible to the person on the other side of the deal.
Your clients do not need to hold XRP to pay your Houdini Pay link. They can settle in ETH, BTC, USDC, SOL, or any of 4,000+ supported tokens across 100+ chains, and Houdini Pay converts and routes the payment so you receive XRP. One link covers every payer, whatever they hold and whichever chain they hold it on.




XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger, a decentralised public blockchain designed for fast, low-cost payments and settlement. Transactions confirm in seconds for a fraction of a cent, which has made XRP a practical choice for invoicing, cross-border payment, and everyday settlement. XRP is also used to pay ledger transaction costs and to meet the account reserve requirement that keeps the ledger free of spam.
No. The sender does not need to connect a wallet or create an account. They simply open the link, choose the token and chain they want to pay from, and send. Houdini handles the conversion and routes assets to your address automatically.
