Disclaimer:
The steps I explain below are the steps I took to convert my USD into XRP(Ripple) without long wait times or intrusive verification as of 12/28/2017, there may be more effective methods but as it stands this is the method that works for me. I am not a partner or in any way directly associated with Ripple, Ripple Labs, Coinbase(GDAX), Toast Wallet or Any of their partners.

Once you have the currecncy Ex: BTC, ETH, LTC. you need to set up a binance account.
5. go back to coinbase
6. Go back to accounts
7. Under the currncy you bought select the Send button
8. A little window should appear with an area at the top to input an address.
9. Paste the address coppied at (4.)
10. Across from the textbox for usd if you hover your mouse over your purchased currecy it should show an otion that says "MAX", if you have no intent to save any of that currecny. If you do intend to save some manually input the amounrt to send.
11. Hit send.
The wait... D:
12. Got back to binance.
13. Got to funds(top right of the page) then history, if the page shows there is no deposit history give it about 2-3 minutes then refresh the page.
14. Now you have to wait for the confirmation(found on the left) to get to the max amount.
Ex. (30/30)
(I tend to be impatient so I usually spam the refresh button until I see the word "Completed")
Now that you have your cryptocurrency of choice in binance you need to exchange it.
I suggest using A hardware wallet. there are many hardware wallets and they all vary in configuration so unfortunately I cannot cover doing so but it would entail the same process as above but instead of sending the cryptocurrency you purchased from one address to another you send ripple.
To transfer currency from Binance you need to enable two factor verify either with google authenticator or if you happen to be on a chinese phone carrier via text.
