VeChain’s WanChain Bridge Unleashes 40-Blockchain Interoperability Revolution

Breaking the silos: VeChain just plugged into 40 chains through WanChain's bridge—while traditional finance still struggles with SWIFT delays.

Why it matters: This isn't just another partnership. That's 40 ecosystems where VeChain's supply chain solutions can now operate without centralized bottlenecks. TradFi banks take note—this is how you future-proof infrastructure.

The cynical take: Meanwhile, Wall Street spends $40 million on 'blockchain research' to conclude they need another 5-year feasibility study.

Wanchain bridge to connect VeChainThor to 40 blockchains

VeChainThor is an enterprise-ready layer-1 smart contracts blockchain that launched its mainnet in 2018 and has seen significant adoption since. The platform is eyeing further growth via the Wanchain cross-chain bridge.

Specifically, integrating Wanchain’s bridge allows VeChainThor to connect to more than 40 blockchains. The interoperability of ethereum Virtual Machine and non-EVM support includes top chains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP Ledger, and BNB Chain.

The VeChain-Bitcoin bridge will support BTC, while the VeChain-Ethereum bridge will support ETH, USDC, USDT, VET, VTHO, and B3TR.

“This initial, extensive coverage opens up substantial liquidity channels and integration pathways across a wide range of DeFi markets and use cases,” the platform wrote.

According to VeChain, this broad support could be a major MOVE for VET, VTHO, and B3TR.

The partnership with Wanchain comes days after the launch of StarGate, an institutional-grade staking platform. It adds to VeChain’s key upgrades and web3 growth initiatives.

Notably, StarGate’s unveiling on July 1, 2025, has helped the total value locked on VeChain increase by more than $100 million.
