¡ETH y XRP en llamas! Ripple lanza cadena lateral EVM y desata frenesí inversor

El ecosistema crypto vuelve a rugir. Ripple acaba de lanzar su cadena lateral compatible con EVM, y el mercado responde: ETH y XRP registran flujos récord.

La jugada estratégica: Con esta movida, Ripple no solo fortalece a XRP, sino que tiende un puente directo al ecosistema Ethereum. Los desarrolladores ahora pueden migrar dApps con facilidad - y los grandes fondos están tomando nota.

El efecto dominó: Los volúmenes de trading se dispararon un 300% en horas, mientras los 'whales' acumulan posiciones. ¿Otra burbuja especulativa o el inicio de un nuevo ciclo alcista? Los bancos tradicionales, como siempre, llegan tarde a la fiesta.

ETH and XRP signal common ecosystem goals

For a few years, Ripple tried to use XRPL to copy Ethereum’s apps, and even had a brief NFT season. However, Ethereum remained the leading hub for app-building and storing value. 

The big problem for XRPL is that it was incompatible with any other ecosystem. For that reason, Ripple built a new EVM-compatible side chain, essentially tapping some of the liquidity available to Ethereum. After months of testing, the EVM-compatible side chain finally went live. The chain will also use one of the most liquid bridges, Wormhole, to move assets to and from Ethereum. The side chain allows Ripple to retain its unique ledger while also offering a more familiar toolset to developers. 

EVM-compatible protocols manage to draw in more significant liquidity, with the potential to bridge stablecoins and tokens. Additionally, EVM-compatible chains can host versions of top Ethereum apps, boosting real on-chain activity. 

Despite the high profile of XRP, the decentralized ledger often carries under 20K active addresses daily. The platform only carries around $58M in total value locked, most of it locked in the native DEX for the protocol. The compatible chains will also allow the creation of multi-chain smart contracts. 

A shift to EVM-compatible apps may boost the share of DeFi on the XRPL network. Developers can now deploy apps similar to those on Ethereum, while also connected via the Axelar bridge to the already existing XRPL network. XRP users can already bridge ETH and USDC through Axelar’s technology.
