Each wXRP will match native XRP 1:1 and can be minted or redeemed by authorized parties using a regulated and automated system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The wXRP asset will first be supported on Solana, Optimism, Ethereum, and HyperEVM, with more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/blockchain\/\">blockchains<\/a> added later. The move allows XRP to interact with other digital assets across several networks, including trading against Ripple\u2019s RLUSD stablecoin. Hex Trust said this shift is designed to bring greater flexibility and safer transaction channels to institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The wrapped token will begin with over $100 million in total value locked. This pool is expected to offer liquidity stability for trading, improving pricing accuracy and lowering slippage on supported platforms. Giorgia Pellizzari, Chief Product Officer and Head of Custody at Hex Trust, said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cWith wXRP, we are expanding XRP liquidity in DeFi and cross-chain networks including broader utility between XRP and RLUSD.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcf0The institutional finance world is paying attention.

This includes insurance, KYC\/AML compliance, and full auditability. The company has confirmed that tokens will only be issued or burned when the underlying XRP is deposited or withdrawn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The need for safer cross-chain asset transfer has grown following concerns over risks tied to unregulated bridge systems. According to Hex Trust, the new system avoids third party bridges to reduce counterparty risk and also offers liquidity services such as swaps and yield farming within a supervised environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Markus Infanger, SVP at RippleX, commented on the rollout by saying,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cThere\u2019s growing demand to use XRP across the wider crypto ecosystem and institutions, and so we are excited to see Hex Trust address this demand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>He also noted the move complements Ripple\u2019s RLUSD work, providing a compliant method for managing XRP holdings on supported blockchains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Institutional Interest Swells Around XRP<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>The wrapped XRP introduction follows a surge in XRP-related activity. Earlier this year, Coinbase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/cbxrp-launches-on-base-as-flare-boosts-xrp-defi-utility-with-100m-liquidity\/\">introduced<\/a> cbXRP on Base, now valued around $39 million. Universal Wrapped XRP also entered the market, adding to the token\u2019s expanding cross-chain presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>XRP has also seen investor interest through spot ETFs. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/first-ever-u-s-spot-xrp-etf-launches\/\">launching<\/a> on November 13, funds from Canary Capital, Bitwise, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton have seen close to $1 billion in combined net inflows. This adds another layer of exposure for institutional investors eyeing the asset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>XRP is priced at <strong>$2.04<\/strong>, with a<span><strong> 1.75%<\/strong><\/span>&nbsp;increase in the past 24 hours. The token remains under pressure from technical resistance between $2.10 and $2.25, with several moving averages converging in that zone.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Daily support rests near $2.00, and a more firm base is forming around $1.85 to $1.80.
