XRP trading through WhatsApp has started after wrapped XRP, known as wXRP, went live on the Solana blockchain.
Summary
- Wrapped XRP launched on Solana, allowing users to swap assets through WhatsApp-linked noncustodial wallet bots directly.
- The setup uses AI bots and Solana DEX aggregators to process text-based crypto trades.
- wXRP now works across Solana DeFi apps, including Raydium, Orca, Kamino, Marginfi, and Backpack.
The setup allows users to swap assets inside the messaging app without leaving the chat window. The move followed the April 17 launch of wXRP on Solana through a partnership involving LayerZero and Hex Trust.
On Solana, wXRP exists as an SPL token, which means it can work with decentralized exchanges, wallets, and other apps built on the network.
A screenshot shared by X user @sol_nxxn showed a WhatsApp chat that swapped 0.1 SOL for about 5.99 wXRP. The user wrote, ”I just bought XRP on Solana through WhatsApp. Solana is officially ready for boomers.”
The trading flow uses AI-powered bots connected to a user’s noncustodial wallet. A person sends a text command such as ”Buy 0.1 SOL worth of wXRP,” and the system reads the request, then routes the trade through a Solana DEX aggregator. This lets the user complete a token swap through a chat-based interface.
Moreover, once wrapped on Solana, XRP can move through the network like other Solana-based tokens. That makes it usable across decentralized finance products that support SPL assets.
The report said wXRP can already be used with Solana platforms such as Raydium and Orca for trading, Kamino and Marginfi for lending and borrowing, and wallets such as Backpack. This gives XRP another route into onchain activity outside its native network and expands where holders can use the asset.
Market attention stays on XRP’s broader setup
The WhatsApp use case arrives as XRP remains in focus across the wider market. Analysts have recently pointed to a symmetrical triangle on XRP’s daily chart, with some watching for a possible 35% move if price breaks out of the pattern.
At the same time, the new Solana route adds a separate market angle centered on access and utility. The combination of broader DeFi use and chat-based trading shows how XRP is being adapted for different platforms.
