Solana Ecosystem Expands with Integration of Ripple's XRP Cryptocurrency

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.
