XRP Breaks Cross-Chain Barriers With Solana DeFi Integration

What happened: Hex Trust launched wrapped XRP (wXRP) on Solana, marking a significant expansion of the token's cross-chain presence. The move fulfills December promises to bring wXRP to multiple networks including Solana, Optimism, Ethereum, and HyperEVM.

Why it matters: This represents XRP's most aggressive push into DeFi infrastructure since regulatory clarity emerged. With Solana's growing DeFi ecosystem processing over $1 billion in daily volume, wXRP could tap into yield farming and lending protocols that were previously inaccessible to XRP holders stuck on the native ledger.
