XRP Ledger Now Live on Axelar App with Cross-Chain Routes

Axelar has made its latest connection to a major blockchain ecosystem, this time integrating the XRP Ledger and its EVM Sidechain into the Axelar App. This move brings new cross-chain routes for assets like XRP, SHx, USDf, SOIL, WETH, WBTC, mBTC, mTBILL, and mXRP.

According to Axelar, these supported tokens can now be bridged through their interface and settled on the XRP Ledger in seconds. The integration is not a new development for Axelar, as they have previously connected the XRPL EVM Sidechain to over 80 other blockchains.

The practical upside of this integration is clearer liquidity paths for XRP holders and builders. Wrapped Bitcoin, Ethereum assets, tokenized T-bills, and other instruments can now flow in and out of the XRPL environment with fewer hops and less reliance on centralized exchanges or one-off bridges.
