Guess who’s crashing the Solana party? 🎉 XRP, darling!
XRP $2.03
24h volatility: 1.3% | Market cap: $122.44 B | Vol. 24h: $2.98 B
Yep, XRP is waltzing onto Solana’s chain via a new wrapped asset called wXRP. 🌉 Hong Kong’s Hex Trust and LayerZero are the matchmakers here, handling the bridge and token issuance. Because why not add more acronyms to the mix? 🤓
wXRP will mirror native XRP at a 1:1 rate, and holders get to keep their redemption rights through the XRP Ledger. Solana, in a series of very serious tweets, gushed about XRP’s “proven use” and “strong liquidity.” 🥱 Meanwhile, we’re all just here for the drama.
BREAKING: XRP is coming to Solana 🔥

Apparently, Solana’s speedy network will now let XRP play in lending markets, liquidity pools, and decentralized exchanges from day one. Because nothing says “welcome” like throwing you into the deep end. 🏊♂️
This bombshell dropped at the fifth Solana Breakpoint event, where Ripple’s Luke Judges spilled the tea. 🍵
Vibhu’s Redemption Arc: From XRP Enemy #1 to BFF 💖
Remember when Vibhu Norby of the Solana Foundation got roasted by the XRP Army in November? 😬 Well, he’s back with a redemption arc! After a “public learning process” (aka getting dragged on Twitter), he met XRP devs, community members, and even Ripple staff. Turns out, he now gets XRP’s “uniqueness.” 🌟
In November, I unexpectedly became enemy #1 of the XRP Army. 😈
Through the resulting public learning process, I had a chance to meet many OG devs, core community members, memelords, and the team at Ripple itself, and I came to an understanding of the uniqueness of XRP as an asset,… 💡

Now, Solana’s promising a deep liquidity pool for wXRP from day one. Because nothing says “sorry” like throwing money at the problem. 💸
With wXRP, users can dive into Solana’s DeFi playground: lend XRP for yield, join liquidity pools, buy tokenized assets, and avoid CEXs like they’re last season’s trend. 🛍️ Plus, wXRP stays self-custodied, so you can always bail back to native XRP if things get weird. 🚪
Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz chimed in, saying XRP on more networks boosts its utility while XRPL stays the main hub. 🌍 Oh, and wXRP is launching with over $100 million in total value locked. Casual. 💰
XRP at the “Flip Area”: Will It Break or Breakdown? 🎢
Analysts on TradingView are calling XRP’s current situation a “flip area.” 🪨✨ A chart shows XRP hovering near the lower border of a triangle, with two possible outcomes (because why make things simple?). According to analyst melikatrader94, it’s either a breakout toward $2.3+ or a breakdown to $1.80. 🪙
