RippleX confirmed wrapped XRP is now available on Solana, giving XRP holders access to Solana-based DeFi apps while retaining one-to-one redeemability for native XRP.
Wrapped XRP, known as wXRP, has launched on the Solana blockchain through an integration enabled by custody firm Hex Trust and cross-chain protocol LayerZero, according to RippleX’s official social media statement. The token is backed one-to-one by XRP held in custody and can be redeemed for native XRP, allowing holders to use XRP liquidity across Solana applications without selling their underlying tokens. The launch connects XRP holders to Solana-based DeFi platforms including Jupiter, Titan, Phantom, Meteora, and Byreal. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the move reflects growing demand for XRP, broader ecosystem access, and expanded utility, while the article describes the rollout as part of Ripple’s broader push to make XRP usable across multiple blockchain environments beyond the XRP Ledger.
