In a significant move for cross-chain interoperability, regulated digital asset platform Hex Trust has announced the launch of wXRP, a fully-backed wrapped token designed to bring Ripple’s XRP to major blockchains including Solana, Ethereum, Optimism, and HyperEVM. This initiative aims to meet surging institutional and retail demand for cross-chain assets, expanding XRP’s utility in decentralized finance (DeFi) and enabling seamless trading against Ripple’s forthcoming RLUSD stablecoin. Backed by over $100 million in initial total value locked and built on secure, auditable infrastructure, wXRP represents a regulated bridge for moving value across ecosystems.
