XRP on Solana. Wrapped.

Hex Trust says it will issue and custody "Wrapped XRP (wXRP)", a 1:1-backed representation of native XRP, using LayerZero's OFT standard, with support starting on Solana (and also targeting other chains).

Solana's message ("XRP is coming to Solana") is shorthand for: you can deposit XRP, receive wXRP on Solana, use it in Solana DeFi, and redeem back 1:1 for XRP on XRPL.

What this means in English: XRP holders can use XRP as "collateral" inside Solana apps without selling XRP first. This includes trading, lending, and providing liquidity on the Solana blockchain.

While there are benefits, wrapped assets introduce additional risks (including issuer, custody, and bridge mechanics). You are choosing "more places to use XRP" in exchange for "more moving parts."
