The payment network XRPL EVM sidechain mainnet has been launched, supporting the migration of Ethereum dApps and cross-chain connections to over 80 networks. Can it effectively ignite the next round of ecological growth? XRP Ledger (XRPL), launched in 2012 as an open-source blockchain, has established a mature infrastructure in cross-border payments and asset tokenization with its unique consensus mechanism, achieving transaction confirmations in 3-5 seconds and transaction costs below $0.01. The network supports atomic swaps and multi-currency settlements through its built-in decentralized exchange platform, and its energy-efficient characteristics along with a developer-friendly environment make it a preferred platform for enterprise-level blockchain applications. However, XRPL's native smart contract functionality is limited, making it difficult to support complex decentralized finance (DeFi) applications or seamlessly interact with the Ethereum ecosystem, which has become a shortcoming in the increasingly competitive Web3 space. To address this issue and expand XRPL's ecological potential, Ripple, in collaboration with Peersyst Technology, Axelar, and the Cosmos community, officially launched the XRPL EVM sidechain mainnet on June 30, 2025, after years of development and testing. This event marks a key step for XRPL from a payment-oriented blockchain to a comprehensive platform supporting smart contracts and cross-chain applications. The XRPL EVM sidechain injects new vitality into the XRPL ecosystem by introducing Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, with its core functions and technical features being particularly noteworthy. Firstly, this sidechain allows developers to use the mature toolchain of the Ethereum ecosystem, including the Solidity programming language, MetaMask wallet, Truffle, and Hardhat development frameworks, enabling them to directly build and deploy smart contracts. This means that existing Ethereum dApps can easily migrate or expand to XRPL, allowing developers to leverage XRPL's high-performance advantages without needing to learn a new framework. The sidechain uses XRP as its native Gas Token, directly connecting to the deep liquidity of the XRPL mainnet through the Axelar bridge, supporting high throughput (1000+ TPS) and fast block confirmations (3-5 seconds) while reducing transaction fees (<$0.01 per transaction). ✜ The preview section has ended, and the remaining hidden hardcore content is here👇

🛡️🔥Crypto ETF Application Boom in 2025: Who Will Pass the Barrier? How is the market changing? In 2025, the application for cryptocurrency ETFs will be a hot mess, and after Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs opened the way, altcoins also crowded their heads to get on the bus. I combed through a bunch of applications, and I want to know which ones may be approved and how they will affect the market, so you can like it three times ❤️ and look down: 1⃣️ Popular ETF applications: Solana leads the way, XRP is in hot pursuit $SOL (99%): The Solana staking ETF promoted by REX Shares is about to be approved, and the SEC has said "no comment" and may be completed before October. Big players such as VanEck and Grayscale also submitted applications, and Polymarket had a 99% pass rate. $XRP (85%) :P roShares' XRP futures ETF is live, and there are also spot XRP ETFs in Brazil and Canada. Grayscale, Bitwise and others applied for spot ETFs in the United States, Ripple withdrew the lawsuit to make way, and Polymarket gave an 85% approval rate. Other players: $DOT (90%), $AVAX (90%), $HBAR (90%), $ADA (90%), $LTC (82%), $DOGE (75%), $SUI (60%), $PENGU (50%), BNB, SEI, TRX, NEAR, TRUMP, APT, AXL are all in line. DOT, AVAX, ADA, HBAR pass rate 90%, Dogecoin 75%, SUI 60%, PENGU 50%, the rest of the probability is unknown. 2⃣️ How is the market changing? Altcoins want to be hi? These ETF applications have heated up market expectations, and investors rushed in to buy coins as soon as they saw that they were "going to be approved", pushing up the price. Like Solana, as soon as the application news came out, the price of the currency jumped by 5%. But once the ETF is really approved, traditional investors can also buy coins through brokerage accounts, and the funds flow in, and the trading volume and liquidity skyrocket. The ETF boom has made the currency price agitated in advance, and it can really attract more funds to enter the market, and the altcoin market may usher in a big explosion. But you have to take it easy, although the SEC's attitude is relaxed, the regulatory risk is still there, and you have to prevent a pullback if you over-speculate.

some alpha from today on : - @Balancer expanding to hyperevm - @0xProject integrating eulerswap by @eulerfinance - @axelar adding @plumenetwork and @HyperliquidX

Family, the cross-chain track is getting competitive again. Benchmarking L0, Wormhole, and Axelar. Union @union_build is about to make some moves. Backed by Babylon, Berachain, Polygon, Celestia, a bunch of big players collaborating. gumi Cryptos, LongHash, Foresight, etc. They also invested 16 million dollars. What they are building is zk cross-chain infrastructure. This is quite common, but the next step in their planning looks interesting. It allows people to stake and govern directly on Ethereum without needing to cross over to a consortium chain. In simple terms: Stake on Ethereum, no longer needing to create a new wallet like Cosmos just for staking, while also having to figure out how to use it. Just a few clicks on Ethereum, stake, earn rewards, a one-stop service, removing the barriers completely. This idea is very clear. Other chains are begging users to come over, they are directly bringing the service to your doorstep. It really shows some vision, and this isn't just a small project fantasy. At the same time, Union uses ERC20, in simple terms, it means the entire EVM can be interconnected. One token can be used across multiple chains, no need for cross-chain. Supports platforms and infrastructure like DEX, lending, meme, etc. Mom no longer has to worry about cross-chain issues. The mainnet and token issuance are coming soon. This set of moves feels promising. It's worth keeping an eye on.

Now tracking XRPL EVM @Peersyst @RippleXDev XRPL EVM is an Ethereum-compatible sidechain for the XRP Ledger built using the Cosmos SDK and Evmos stack, enabling Solidity smart contracts and cross-chain interoperability via Axelar, with XRP as the native gas token
