XRP's blockchain technology is so good, it can continue to work fine even after "losing" its genesis block that allocated every premined XRP and a few thousand blocks afterward that spread it around.
Heck, I'm pretty sure you only ever need the very last ledger generated and can totally ignore everything else before that, and it'll still work great.
Nothing weird about that at all. It's all the other blockchains that insist on keeping a full history of transactions to verify no shenanigans occurred that are just super paranoid, when they could just trust the nodes to be honest.
