Why XRPL EVM Is a Game Changer for XRP: Full Breakdown

"the long- awaited XRPL EVM side chain could finally unleash a tidal wave of new apps, liquidity, and DeFi for XRP."

"And with dozens of projects lining up, the next chapter for XRP might be its most exciting yet."

"In practical terms, you're looking at average block times of just 3 to 5 seconds, transaction costs typically well below 1 cent, and support for over 1,000 transactions per second."

"First and foremost, the emergence of a decentralized exchange is practically a given. If you look back at the history of Avalanche, Polygon or BNB chain, the very first decks to secure liquidity and trading pairs typically becomes the beating heart of all onchain activity. Expect to see early versions of unis swap or pancake swap equivalents appear within days or weeks of mainet launch."

"Closely following behind will be lending and borrowing protocols. And these platforms make it possible to unlock capital from EXRP holdings without selling. As soon as borrowing against XRP becomes possible, you can be sure that whales and active DY users will of course take notice. This is the mechanism that powered the rise of platforms like Ave on Ethereum and similar protocols on the XRPLEVM will almost certainly become core infrastructure."

"Stable coins are poised to play a major role in XRPL EBM's growth as well. In addition to RLUSD, Axel and Wormhole integrations will allow USDC, USDT, and other stable coins to flow from dozens of other blockchains, providing ample liquidity and new opportunities."

"The Cosmos ecosystem in particular stands to benefit as XRP capital is unlocked and deployed across IBC connected chains. Protocols like Osmosis, for example, which is of course the main decks on the Cosmos ecosystem, could see a fresh wave of trading volume and yield farming."

"A capital rotation within the Cosmos ecosystem from large caps like Atom down to smaller projects could follow the same pattern we've seen during previous DeFi booms on other networks."

"With the EVM side chain in play, that pattern could finally change. Instead of selling, XRP holders now have the option to borrow stable coins against their EXRP, unlocking capital to chase DeFi opportunities while keeping exposure to the underlying asset. And that means less supply flooding the market during rallies and potentially more gradual sustained price action."

"Additionally, with the XRPL EVM side chain now live, XRP is in a strong position to take part in what might be crypto's next big narrative, PayFi."

"If PayFi gains traction, stable coins like RLUSD on XRPLEBM could see significant growth, helping to streamline international settlements and make everyday payments faster and cheaper."

"it will set in motion a wave of experimentation, capital flows, and new protocols that could substantially reshape XRP's future and the structure of its cross-chain DeFi as well."
