Solana’s official account followed up the post with replies including “we signed 589 NDAs” and “time to flip the switch,” adding fuel to the speculation without giving any concrete details.
Solana co-founder also reacted to the post, suggesting that a wrapped version of XRP on the Solana network could be in the works. This would not be entirely new territory — Hex Trust partnered with LayerZero last year to launch Wrapped XRP (WXRP) on Solana, though adoption has been minimal, with most of the token’s supply remaining on Ethereum.

Solana already hosts several wrapped tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ZEC. The network has previously stated its goal of becoming the “capital market for every asset on earth.”
Market Reaction
The speculation drove a measurable jump in derivatives activity. XRP futures Open Interest rose 5% in 24 hours to $2.62 billion, while Solana futures Open Interest climbed 1% to $4.96 billion, according to CoinGlass data.
XRP was trading around $1.38 at the time of writing, up nearly 2% on the day. The token is testing the 50-day EMA at $1.41, with the 100-day EMA at $1.55 and the 200-day EMA at $1.80 acting as further resistance levels above.
The RSI for XRP sits at 57, and the MACD line is above its signal line, pointing to improving momentum without reaching overbought territory.
Solana is trading below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs, which are clustered between roughly $87 and $117. The RSI for Solana sits near 51, suggesting selling pressure is easing rather than reversing.
Community and Developer Reaction
The Ripple community responded positively to Solana’s post. Ripple’s developer arm acknowledged the hint, and crypto commentator Wendy called a potential XRP-Solana partnership “iconic.” XRPL developer Bird said, “It’s literally XRP season.”
Ripple itself has not confirmed any partnership. Its official channels remain focused on Swell 2026, its annual flagship conference.
XRP has been expanding across other networks as well. It launched on the Flare network last year through FXRP, which later went live on derivatives exchange Hyperliquid. Ripple also recently partnered with Kyobo Life Insurance for real-time tokenized government bond settlement on the XRPL.
At the time of publication, XRP was up nearly 2% on the day, trading at around $1.38.
