XRPL EVM Sidechain Launches: Ethereum Dapps Now Invade XRP’s Ecosystem
Ripple's XRP Ledger just dropped a game-changer—an EVM-compatible sidechain that bridges Ethereum's DeFi juggernaut with XRP's speed and low costs. Traders, meet your new playground.
Why it matters: XRP holders can now tap into Ethereum's sprawling dapp ecosystem without paying gas fees that'd make a Wall Street banker blush. Smart contracts, yield farms, and NFT markets just got a frictionless on-ramp.
The fine print: While interoperability wins cheers, cynics note this might be XRP's play for relevance as ETH 2.0 threatens to outpace everyone. Still, a masterstroke for liquidity—assuming regulators don't kill the vibe.
