Wrapped XRP goes live on Solana, broadening DeFi access for Ripple-linked token


Wrapped $XRP went live on Solana on Friday, issued by custodian Hex Trust and bridged through LayerZero, making the token available inside Solana's DeFi apps for the first time.

$XRP holders can now use the wrapped asset on Jupiter, Phantom, Titan Exchange, and Meteora without selling their underlying position.

Each wXRP is backed 1:1 by native $XRP held in segregated custody accounts and is redeemable at any time, according to Hex Trust.

The Solana launch is one leg of a broader rollout Hex Trust disclosed in December 2025, which also targets Ethereum, Optimism, and HyperEVM. The move fits a pattern that has accelerated through 2025 and 2026, where tokens that started their life on one chain are being bridged to others to capture yield and liquidity that did not exist at launch.

$XRP has historically functioned as a payment-rail token settled directly on the $XRP Ledger. Solana has built the opposite use case, a throughput-optimized smart contract platform where the DeFi and memecoin activity actually lives.

The piece of infrastructure underneath this deal is LayerZero, the cross-chain messaging protocol that has quietly won most of the bridge volume that used to flow through Wormhole, Nomad, and Ronin before those protocols were exploited for more than $1 billion combined between 2022 and 2024.

Whether $XRP generates meaningful DeFi volume on Solana is a separate question. The wrapped asset is live, but the test is whether holders actually use it.

Polkadot recovers 17% after Hyperbridge exploit: Will DOT’s gains continue?

The Hyperbridge exploit caused Polkadot [$DOT] to lose a significant portion of its market cap, but it has since fully recovered.

The altcoin’s price crashed after a hacker minted 1 billion $DOT tokens on Ethereum [$ETH] but only sold them for $237K due to lack of liquidity. The team clarified that the actual loss had ballooned to $2.5 million as the team made efforts to recover the funds.

However, the assurance that Polkadot’s core network security remained intact fueled a 17% price recovery.

What drove $DOT’s price recovery?

A statement released by the team after the exploit assured users of security, as the core network had not been affected. It’s the bridged $DOT tokens on Ethereum.

As a result, the community sentiment returned to 82% bullish from 954.1K voters, as per CoinMarketCap. Consequently, the price of the altcoin rallied from $1.146 to $1.354.

The relief brought about a rebound in network activity. As per Artemis data, the number of transactions increased by 1,400, from 10.5K to 11.9K, in just a day.

Additionally, daily active users (DAU) increased by 1.67x even though the figures remained relatively low. DAU rose from 3,000 to 5,000, indicating users were gradually returning to the network

The Total Value Locked (TVL) also experienced a surge of about 11.29% in a day, while the stablecoin market cap grew to $77.83 million after the massive drop.

Moreover, the altcoin commanded a significant amount of daily trading volume of about $403 million. However, the revenue of the network remained low as it attempted to get back on its feet.

Netflix (NFLX) issued guidance for its Q2 revenue and earnings that missed several estimates from Wall Street, causing shares to skid 10%. Q2 revenue is expected to come in at $12.57 billion, compared to the $12.64 billion Wall Street estimated. Earnings per share guidance for the second quarter was $0.78, below the $0.84 per share the Street was expecting. The company’s operating income outlook of $4.11 billion is also well below the $4.34 billion the Street anticipated.Additionally, Netflix only repurchased $1.3 billion of its stock in the first quarter, a slower pace than the $2.3 billion quarterly average in 2025. This sparked investor concerns and helped lead to the further 10% NFLX skid. Co-CEO Greg Peters tried to settle those fears on Netflix’s earnings call, saying, “Of course, it’s early in the year. There’s still plenty of time to go, plenty of work left to go do.” “We’ve seen really good progress so far in this first quarter that builds on the solid momentum and results from 2025,” Peters added. Furthermore, executives told Wall Street on its earnings call that there are no changes to its capital allocation program, despite their positivity around new podcasts, vertical videos, and live events. About $6.8 billion remains for repurchase under Netflix’s authorization.As for Q1 2026, Netflix reported revenue of $12.25 billion, compared with the Street’s $12.17 billion estimate, per Bloomberg consensus data. In the first quarter of last year, the company reported revenue of $10.54 billion. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.23, compared to estimates of $0.76. Looking ahead to the rest of the year, despite today’s skid, NFLX stock forecasts remain high.Also Read: Apple Stock (AAPL) Rises as iPhone Sales Jump 20% in China, 9% in IndiaThe median forecast on Wall Street for Netflix (NFLX) is $115, implying a 19% climb from the current price of $96.

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

Bitcoin Breakout Confirmed, But Is It Real Or A Bull Trap?

Bitcoin has confirmed a breakout from its macro downtrend on the linear chart, signaling a potential shift in broader market structure. However, with the price now sitting at a key resistance zone on the logarithmic chart, uncertainty remains. The coming sessions will be crucial in determining whether this move develops into a sustained bullish trend or a potential bull trap.

Macro Breakout Signals Possible End Of Bear Cycle

Historically, Bitcoin bear markets conclude once the price begins to steadily climb above the macro downtrend on linear charts. Following yesterday’s daily close, Scient notes that we have officially confirmed a breakout from this primary trendline. This shift in market structure has prompted a strategic search for high-potential setups across various altcoins.

Despite the linear breakout, the question remains whether this move is a genuine trend reversal or a temporary deviation. While the linear chart shows a clear breach of resistance, the log chart tells a different story. Currently, the price is sitting exactly at a major resistance level on the logarithmic scale.

The validity of this move depends heavily on how the price reacts to these overlapping levels in the coming sessions. If this move turns out to be a fakeout, the price will lose momentum quickly. In that case, Bitcoin would likely fall back below the linear resistance.

To confirm true strength across both linear and log perspectives, the price needs to push into the mid-$80,000 region. Holding that level for several daily closes would effectively flip the macro structure from bearish to bullish, turning all subsequent price dips into high-conviction buying opportunities for long-term investors.

The upcoming seven to ten days represent a pivotal window for Bitcoin’s me

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

MicroStrategy surged alongside Bitcoin’s breakout above $78,000 as renewed bullish momentum swept through crypto markets, while dramatic developments around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz injected fresh geopolitical tension into an already volatile news cycle.

Bitcoin is back in control, and when the market leader starts pushing higher with conviction, traders notice fast, and so do stocks like MicroStrategy that trade as leveraged proxies for BTC exposure.

At the same time, geopolitical tension tied to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is adding another layer of uncertainty to risk markets. That kind of backdrop rarely leaves crypto untouched, but it can sharpen the divide between assets that are already priced in and newer opportunities that are still being discovered.

Bitcoin Breakout Keeps Bulls in Charge
Bitcoin is trading around $78,198.67 after gaining 4.71% in 24 hours and 7.25% over the past week. That is not just a bounce; it is the kind of move that starts to reset sentiment across the entire market.

The price action still shows active trading, with a wide intraday range between roughly $74,045 and $78,022. That tells you buyers are engaged, but the breakout still needs to prove it can hold. For now, the bias is clearly bullish.
