Wrapped XRP (wXRP) has launched on Solana via custodian Hex Trust and cross-chain protocol LayerZero, making XRP usable in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem for the first time.

Each wXRP is backed 1:1 by native XRP held in segregated custody accounts and can be redeemed at any time, allowing holders to deploy capital on Solana without selling their underlying XRP.

The Solana debut is part of a broader Hex Trust rollout to Ethereum, Optimism and HyperEVM, reflecting a wider trend of tokens bridging across chains to chase yield and liquidity.

Cardano Founder Explains Why Midnight and NIGHT Differ Fundamentally From Ripple and XRP

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson contrasts Midnight ($NIGHT) with Ripple and $XRP, arguing that the two models differ fundamentally in how value is created and distributed.

Hoskinson made this known during a recent interview with Wendy O on “The O Show.” His commentary centers on ownership, token utility, and whether network growth directly benefits token holders.

Key Points

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues that Midnight ($NIGHT) and $XRP differ fundamentally in value creation and distribution.

He argues Ripple uses $XRP sales to generate capital for external investments and acquisitions, but $XRP holders never benefit from this model.

Hoskinson compares Ripple’s model to Tether’s, where value accrues mainly to a central entity.

His comments have reignited tensions with the $XRP community, raising the prospect of renewed disputes with figures like Brad Garlinghouse.

#Bitcoin has long been promised to function as money. In practice, it rarely does.While 99% of transactions are still speculative trading, for as long as bitcoin has been a thing it has been used to skirt governments’ economic controls. Cryptocurrencies are particularly attractive for countries facing sanctions.The Iranian government is considering charging oil tankers for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in cryptocurrency. The reports have excited the bitcoin community with crypto markets jumping slightly in response. “Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions”, an Iranian government spokesperson told the Financial Times.$2 million per ship – in cryptoAccording to blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, Iran’s armed forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has accepted payments from ship operators since March, charging up to US$2 million per vessel to transit the strait. Payment can be made not only in bitcoin but also in Chinese yuan or the dollar-pegged “stablecoin” tether.For shipping companies, the details remain unclear. But many ships are unlikely to set sail without assurances of safe passage from the IRGC.The US has taken a hard line. President Donald Trump has accused Iran of extortion and stated that the US would hunt down and intercept any ships in international waters that paid the Iranian tolls.The stalemate is likely to tighten an already narrow choke point. The war has reduced the passage of tankers to a trickle.Practical problemsOur research has examined how individuals and governments facing sanctions use cryptocurrencies as a way to buy and sell oil, raise hard currency and sidestep economic embargoes.

SEC charges Donald Basile in $16M crypto fraud tied to ‘insured’ token


The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto executive Donald Basile, accusing him and two companies he controlled of raising about $16 million from investors through false claims tied to a so-called “insured” crypto token known as Bitcoin Latinum.

In a complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the SEC alleged that Basile ran the scheme between March and December 2021 through Monsoon Blockchain Corp. and GIBF GP Inc., offering investors Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) that promised future delivery of the token, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Regulators said hundreds of investors were told the asset was backed and insured, but the SEC alleged no insurance company ever provided coverage or any proof that these claims were true, per the report.

The case marks one of the few SEC enforcement actions under the Trump administration, which has signaled a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance compared to previous administrations.

Crypto funds spent on luxury

The SEC said Basile repeatedly represented that Bitcoin Latinum was an insured, asset-backed cryptocurrency and that investor funds would help support its underlying value. Instead, the complaint alleges, millions of dollars were diverted to personal spending, including real estate purchases, credit card payments and the acquisition of a $160,000 horse.

The regulator is seeking permanent injunctions, repayment of allegedly ill-gotten gains with interest, civil penalties, and a ban on Basile’s participation in securities offerings, according to the WSJ. It also wants an officer-and-director bar preventing him from leading public companies in the future.

Following the broader market recovery, sentiment appears to be shifting in the XRP market as signs of renewed bullish momentum start to take hold. A growing bullish momentum implies that buyers are gradually stepping back in. However, a key metric suggests a lingering underlying weakness beneath the surface.

The Real State Of The XRP Market

After a period of uncertainty and subdued price action, XRP is gaining bullish traction, drawing closer to reclaiming the $1.50 mark. Even with the newfound strength of the altcoin, certain indicators show the broader market trend still appears to be weak and bearish, creating a layer of uncertainty.

While it may seem bullish, Teddy, a crypto expert, has drawn attention to the XRP Sharpe Ratio, which is offering a sobering view of the XRP market. The key metric is trending in negative territory, indicating that conditions remain in a post-pain phase. What this means is investors are still recovering from earlier drawdowns despite a period of market stabilization.

The Lightning Network isn’t ‘helplessly broken’


A post from Udi Wertheimer a few weeks ago made headlines across crypto media with a stark claim: the Lightning Network is "helplessly broken" in a post-quantum world, and its developers can do nothing about it. The headline traveled fast. For businesses that have built real payment infrastructure on Lightning or are evaluating it, the implications were unsettling.

It deserves a measured response.

Wertheimer is a respected Bitcoin developer, and his underlying concern is legitimate: quantum computers, if they ever become sufficiently powerful, pose a real long-term challenge to the cryptographic systems on which Bitcoin and Lightning depend. That part is true, and the Bitcoin development community is already working on it seriously. But the framing of Lightning as "helplessly broken" obscures more than it reveals, and businesses making infrastructure decisions deserve a clearer picture.

What Wertheimer got right

Lightning channels require participants to share public keys with their counterparty when opening a payment channel. In a world where cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) exist, an attacker who obtains those public keys could theoretically use Shor's algorithm to derive the corresponding private key, and from there, steal funds.

This is a real structural property of how Lightning works. What the headline leaves out

The threat is far more specific and far more conditional than "your Lightning balance can be stolen."

First, the channels themselves are protected by a hash while they are open. Funding transactions use P2WSH (Pay-to-Witness-Script-Hash), meaning the raw public keys inside the 2-of-2 multisig arrangement are hidden onchain for as long as the channel remains open. Lightning payments are also hash-based, routed through HTLCs (Hashed Time-Lock Contracts), which r

Crypto markets are no strangers to volatility, but what happened to RAVE on April 18 caught many traders off guard.
According to data from HTX, RAVE plunged from $24.42 to as low as $8.88 within just two hours — a staggering drop of over 63%. The token has since bounced back to around $12.5, but the shockwaves from the sudden crash are still being felt across the market.
Moves like this don’t happen in a vacuum.
Sharp declines of this magnitude are often driven by a combination of factors: large holders (whales) offloading positions, thin liquidity amplifying sell pressure, or cascading liquidations triggered by leveraged trades. In some cases, rumors or unexpected developments tied to the project can also accelerate panic selling.
Even with the rebound, confidence doesn’t instantly return.
For traders and investors, this kind of price action is a reminder of how fast sentiment can shift in the crypto space. A strong rally can turn into a steep سقوط within minutes — especially in assets with lower liquidity or concentrated ownership.
As for RAVE, the key question now is whether this is just a temporary recovery or the beginning of a more unstable phase.

XRP Price Volatility Falls to Multi-Year Lows, Setting Up a Potential Major Move

XRP price is trading just above $1.40, pinned in a $1.30–$1.45 range with almost nothing happening – and that’s exactly what makes this setup worth watching.

The asset’s 30-day Realized Volatility Index has collapsed to approximately 0.42, its lowest reading since 2024, a quantifiable compression that historically precedes sharp directional moves rather than continued silence.
