Solana developers have announced that XRP, the native coin of a rival blockchain, will now also be tradable on the Solana network.

Wrapped XRP (wXRP) coins bridged from the XRP network will be locked, and an equal amount of wXRP tokens will be minted on the SOL network. Similarly, when users wish to return from the SOL network to the XRP network, the wXRP tokens will be burned, and the coins on the XRP network will be released.

wXRP will not have the network features of the XRP network and will behave entirely like a Solana altcoin. In fact, we can define this token as a different altcoin that tracks the XRP price on the Solana network.

With this integration, XRP can now be bought and sold on decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges on Solana, and it can also be officially used in DeFi applications. Additionally, XRP assets can now be tracked in SOL network-specific cryptocurrency wallets.

Recently, an increase in interaction between SOL and Ripple’s official accounts has been observed, particularly on platform X.
