XRP–Solana Bridge in Development Could Unlock $122B Liquidity
A Solana Foundation representative confirmed development of a dedicated bridge connecting the XRP Ledger and the Solana blockchain, a step that could allow about $122 billion in XRP liquidity to flow onto Solana. XRP, the Ripple-affiliated token and the fifth-largest crypto by market cap, would gain direct rails into Solana’s high-throughput, low-fee environment, while Solana could absorb substantial native XRP liquidity and new trading corridors.
The proposal is notable for its potential to accelerate cross‑chain activity—boosting on-chain swaps, lending, and AMM depth between SOL and XRP communities—but developers have not provided a timeline or technical details. Key questions remain around security design, validator capacity and compliance/custody arrangements; those factors will shape whether the bridge delivers meaningful benefits for traders, builders and exchanges once launched.
