'XRP Keeps Growing,' Ripple CEO Says Amid Solana Milestone


Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has reacted to $XRP's recent interoperability milestone on Solana. Wrapped $XRP (wXRP) went live on Solana, enabled by Hex Trust and Layer Zero.

"Growing demand for $XRP is driving liquidity cross-chain, opening new paths across ecosystems and expanding the overall market," Garlinghouse wrote in a tweet in reaction to the milestone.

Demand for $XRP keeps growing. More access, more ecosystems, more utility. https://t.co/zEqt5C3mmJ

— Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) April 17, 2026

$XRP utility has expanded on Solana with wXRP, allowing individual users and institutions alike to gain access to the token through the wrapped token issued by Hex Trust.

Authorized users can send native $XRP to Hex Trust, which then mints wXRP tokens on Solana or supported Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains such as the Ethereum mainnet, Optimism or HyperEVM.

First announced in December, the move opens up the use of $XRP beyond $XRP Ledger, increasing its use in market-making and decentralized finance (DeFi) on Solana.

What comes next as $XRP's institutional era arrives

In a tweet, Ripple stated that $XRP's institutional era is now, supported by ETFs. For years, legal uncertainty kept institutional capital away from $XRP, but regulatory clarity has arrived now. Futures markets have launched, with the path to institutional access now opened.

Ripple believes that the $XRP ETF market is still young. While seven U.S. spot ETFs with $1.53 billion in AUM and 773 million $XRP tokens in custody represent meaningful progress, there is still plenty of room to grow. The JPMorgan prediction of $4 to 8.4 billion in first-year inflows has not yet been tested by a full bull cycle.

It is believed that the product landscape will also continue to evolve. ARK Invest has allocated nearly

The US-based crypto exchange Coinbase has added two little-known crypto assets to its listing roadmap.The exchange says it’s considering adding Diem (DIEM) and Opengradient (OPG) to its platform for spot trading.“The launch of trading for these assets is contingent on market-making support, and sufficient technical infrastructure. We will announce the launch of trading separately once these conditions have been met.”DIEM is an ERC-20 token on the Base blockchain from Venice.ai. The coin is designed to tokenize AI compute as an onchain asset, with each token representing $1 per day of renewable, never-expiring access to Venice’s AI models and API capacity.Meanwhile, Opengradient’s OPG is the native token of a decentralized network built for verifiable on-chain AI inference, designed to pay for model executions, stake for security and rewards and govern the protocol.Roadmap inclusion signals that the assets have entered Coinbase’s formal review process. It does not guarantee they will eventually trade on the platform.Generated Image: Midjourney

#Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Charles Schwab has shared more specifics about its upcoming “Schwab Crypto” platform, giving eligible customers a path to buy and sell bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly. Schwab Crypto’s RoadmapAt launch, Schwab Crypto will offer direct trading in Bitcoin and Ethereum, which the firm says together account for roughly three-quarters of total crypto market capitalization.  However, Schwab indicated that it intends to add additional cryptocurrencies to the platform in the future. The firm also plans to introduce transfer capabilities for deposits and withdrawals, so clients with digital asset holdings elsewhere can bring their investments into Schwab alongside their other accounts.Related Reading: CLARITY Act Progress: Key Markup Slipping Toward The Final Week Of April Or Mid-MaySchwab also plans to lean heavily on its research and investor education approach. That includes digital assets learning materials powered by the Schwab Center for Financial Research, along with crypto-focused content delivered through Schwab Coaching. The goal, according to the company, is to help investors better understand how digital assets work and how they may fit into a broader investing strategy rather than treating crypto as a separate world. Cost is also positioned as a selling point. Schwab says pricing will be among the lowest in the industry, charging 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade. Paxos For Sub-Custody And Trade Execution Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab, said the firm aims to give investors access to well-known cryptocurrencies through an “all-in-one investing and banking experience,” supported by education and the operational backing of Schwab’s ecosystem.  Vietri framed the approach as catering to two groups at once: people who are new to crypto and want to use a trusted institution, and investors who already own digital assets and

A $760 mln ‘insider’ move exposes crypto’s sensitivity to an October-style correction

If you thought market FUD was over, think again.

At the macro level, the situation around the U.S.–Iran ceasefire remains unclear.

While U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz has reopened, triggering a risk-on move across crypto, the Iranian government disputes this, calling his statement false in an official response.

From a broader market perspective, this brings uncertainty back into focus.

The U.S. has yet to respond, but recent price action suggests sentiment is already shifting, especially after reports of $760 million in insider activity, adding fuel to another round of manipulation-driven volatility.

Source: TradingView (BRENT/USD)

For context, market participants spotted investors selling a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, a roughly $760 million bet that oil prices would move lower.

More notably, this positioning came just 20 minutes before President Trump’s announcement regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The result? As the chart shows, oil closed the day down 5.9%, slipping back to early March levels. Following the Strait of Hormuz headlines, this $760 million position therefore appears to have been highly profitable.

Notably, as these events unfolded, the crypto market also saw a spike in volatility, with some participants pointing to another “Friday manipulation” around the news flow.

In this context, the U.S.-Iran geopolitical narrative continues to add uncertainty, with markets reacting sharply to shifting headlines and positioning.

Naturally, the question becomes, does this volatility make the recent inflows into crypto temporary?
