Why does XRP have a minimum balance? (Why I cannot empty out my XRP account?)

XRP is a unique asset with built-in rules requiring a minimum balance to be held in XRP addresses, similar to some bank accounts where maintaining a minimum balance is necessary.

To activate and transfer XRP, you must first deposit at least 10 XRP into your ELLIPAL XRP address.

If you hold additional objects like SOLO or CORE, each object requires an additional 2 XRP as shown below.

Once your account is activated, it functions similarly to Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other assets, except that the minimum 10 XRP cannot be withdrawn or transferred out.
