Interoperability continues to take shape as a critical component in blockchain infrastructure, and XRP has now taken a notable step forward in this direction. A recent post from XRPL validator Vet (@Vet_X0) revealed that approximately 124,000 XRP is currently bridged via Axelar’s interoperability network. This development marks a significant moment in XRP’s integration with broader blockchain ecosystems. Axelar’s platform is designed to connect dozens of independent blockchains through a decentralized network of validators and cross-chain gateways. This enables seamless token transfers and contract calls across otherwise isolated ecosystems. This partnership comes shortly after the announcement of an integration with Wormhole to boost interoperability. The involvement of XRP on these networks suggests a growing appetite for extending its relevance beyond the confines of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). ~124,000 XRP is currently bridged via Axelar interoperability solution. pic.twitter.com/BkQE9aJAHS — Vet (@Vet_X0) July 9, 2025 Expanding XRP’s Functional Reach The Axelar bridge was launched same time as the XRPL Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Sidechain , ushering in a new era of interoperability for XRP. By bridging XRP to Axelar, holders and developers gain access to a wide array of decentralized applications (dApps) and services across more than 60 supported blockchains. These include popular platforms within the EVM ecosystem, Cosmos-based chains, and even Bitcoin Layer 2 networks. This expanded access opens up utility that XRP previously lacked in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and smart contract environments not natively compatible with the XRPL. 124,476 XRP have been bridged through Axelar, and prominent community members expect this figure to rise. This integration has been in the works since 2024 . For developers building with XRP, this bridge enables the integration of cross-chain functionality directly into applications without resorting to centralized exchanges or unreliable manual bridging methods.

Once bridged, XRP can be deployed into liquidity pools, lending protocols, or used as collateral across different ecosystems. This move directly contributes to deepening market liquidity and attracting new user segments that traditionally operate outside of the XRPL. Axelar’s integration enables XRP to be used in conjunction with programmable smart contracts via the Axelar Virtual Machine (AVM). That means developers can write logic that includes XRP as an asset within multi-chain workflows, something not previously feasible without compromising decentralization or requiring wrapped token models managed by centralized custodians. XRP now has full web3 interoperability , and as it begins to interface more directly with ecosystems outside its native ledger, its adoption and relevance within the crypto space will increase.
