🚀 XRP Just Broke Ethereum’s Walls: Ripple’s XRPL EVM Sidechain Launches—Now Powering ETH dApps with XRP

Ripple just flipped the script. The XRPL EVM Sidechain went live today—finally letting XRP crash Ethereum's DeFi party. Traders are already front-running the arbitrage bots.

### Why This Changes Everything

No more wrapped token gymnastics. XRP moves natively into Ethereum's ecosystem, dodging liquidity fragmentation like a CBDC dodges adoption deadlines. Smart contracts now speak XRP fluently.

### The Cynic's Corner

Wall Street won't care until they can short it via a Goldman Sachs ETF—but for once, crypto infrastructure outpaces regulatory foot-dragging. The bridge is built. Now watch the money flow.

XRP hopes to tap into institutional use cases

The XRPL EVM sidechain is connected to the main XRP Ledger via the Axelar bridge. This cross-chain infrastructure enables seamless interoperability, which Ripple hopes will attract institutional and enterprise use cases.

“Crypto is entering an exciting phase as institutions and enterprises are pursuing compelling new use cases. The XRP Ledger EVM Sidechain is positioned to capture this rising demand, and Axelar is the secure, institutional-grade connector that will make it possible,” Georgios Vlachos, Axelar Foundation.
