Ripple CTO Reacts to Solana’s XRP Integration

2025/12/12 13:27

David Schwartz, chief technology officer at Ripple, has reacted to Solana integrating XRP, describing this as a “good thing.” 

“More XRP ecosystems is a good thing. Letting XRP operate in more environments builds utility, and the XRPL remains the anchor that makes it all work,” Schwartz said in a recent social media post.

wXRP, the wrapped token, will allow XRP holders to maintain the same underlying asset while gaining access to Solana’s decentralized finance products. 

This means they can lend XRP for yield, provide liquidity in trading pairs with SOL or stablecoins, buy tokenized assets, and interact with Solana DeFi protocols.

Importantly, wXRP is redeemable 1:1 for native XRP, so there is no risk of losing the underlying asset.

wXRP will launch with more than $100 million in total value locked (TVL), according to the announcement. 

Mending fences 

Vibhu Norby of the Solana Foundation claims that the decision that this step came after engaging with the XRP community and understanding its uniqueness.

“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, and its community,” Norby said. 

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has envisioned a world where different cryptocurrency ecosystems are collaborating instead of fighting each other.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
