XRP Goes Live on Solana
The Solana network has integrated XRP, according to a Friday announcement.
The integration bridges the gap between two of the cryptocurrency industry’s most prominent ecosystems.
According to an announcement from the official Solana X account on April 17, 2026, the highly anticipated integration is now fully live, injecting fresh cross-chain liquidity into the network’s decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
The asset has been launched as a wrapped token, designated as wXRP.
The Solana Foundation partnered with LayerZero and Hex Trust, two major infrastructure providers, in order to be able to facilitate this massive cross-chain move.
