XRP Expansion Into Solana Sparks Fresh Demand, Ripple CEO Says
XRP holders can now trade, earn yield, and tap liquidity on Solana — without ever selling their tokens.

For holders, the mechanics are straightforward. They wrap their XRP, use it within Solana’s apps, and can unwrap it whenever they choose. No sale required. No loss of exposure to the underlying asset.
Garlinghouse framed the demand as ongoing, not a one-time spike. His comments suggest Ripple sees the Solana launch as one piece of a longer expansion — not a finish line.
