XRP Now Supported on MetaMask: A Game-Changer for Crypto & DeFi

Breaking: MetaMask Adds XRP Support in Major Crypto Milestone

In a historic move for the XRP community, Ripple’s XRP token is now officially supported on MetaMask, one of the most popular crypto wallets worldwide. This integration, made possible through the XRPL EVM Sidechain, bridges XRP with Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem, opening doors for broader adoption and utility.

How XRP Works on MetaMask

Thanks to the XRPL EVM Sidechain, users can now:
✅ Store & manage XRP directly in MetaMask (extension & mobile app)
✅ Interact with Ethereum dApps using XRP
✅ Access DeFi protocols previously limited to ETH-based tokens

Peersyst Technology, the team behind this breakthrough, announced the news on X (Twitter), calling it a “giant step” for XRP’s interoperability.

Why This Integration Matters

1. XRP Meets Ethereum’s DeFi Ecosystem

Before this update, XRP holders faced limitations in accessing DeFi platforms. Now, with MetaMask support, they can:

  • Trade XRP on decentralized exchanges (DEXs)

  • Use XRP in smart contracts

  • Stake & lend XRP in DeFi protocols

2. Boosting XRP’s Utility & Adoption

MetaMask has over 30 million users, making this integration a major adoption driver for XRP. This move could:
📈 Increase XRP’s liquidity
💡 Encourage more developers to build XRP-based dApps
🌍 Expand XRP’s use cases beyond payments

3. Ripple’s Push for Blockchain Interoperability

Ripple has been steadily working to connect XRP with other blockchains. The XRPL EVM Sidechain is a crucial piece of this vision, allowing seamless cross-chain transactions between XRP Ledger and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks.

What’s Next for XRP?

This integration is just the beginning. As more DeFi platforms and dApps adopt XRP via MetaMask, we could see:

  • More institutional interest in XRP

  • New financial products built on XRP Ledger

  • Stronger price momentum as utility grows

How to Add XRP to Your MetaMask Wallet

  1. Update MetaMask to the latest version

  2. Connect to the XRPL EVM Sidechain (network details via Peersyst)

  3. Start transacting with XRP in DeFi
