A new permissionless XRP bridge built by LayerZero and HexTrust was announced at the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference, which will allow XRP worth up to $122 billion to be used within Solana’s DeFi ecosystem. This move has sparked controversy within the XRP community. Supporters argue that it expands XRP’s reach, enhancing its utility and demand; critics, including well-known XRPL contributor Vet, warn that it could shift liquidity and value creation from the native XRP ledger to Solana. The debate centers on whether the maturation of this infrastructure will ultimately increase XRP’s value or shift its economic focus to other areas.
