The launch of the XRPL EVM sidechain aimed to boost interoperability but reports show a TVL of about $100,000. Leading contributors remain Ripple, Peersyst Technology, and Axelar Network.

“Clear crypto regulations in the U.S. will fuel growth not just for XRPL, but for the broader blockchain industry.” – Monica Long, President, Ripple

Industry Calls for U.S. Regulatory Clarity on Crypto

The crypto community is responding with concern over XRPL EVM’s low adoption. There are calls for clearer regulations to invigorate growth within the sector.

The broader impact includes heightened focus on mainnet growth rather than sideline projects. XRP deployments, like VivoPower’s $100M through Flare, reflect strategic shifts.

XRPL EVM Struggles in Contrast to Solana, Cardano Success

Historically, new Layer 1 launches, such as Cardano and Solana, experienced rapid liquidity expansion. XRPL EVM’s underwhelming TVL contrasts past successes.

If regulatory environments improve and strategic deployments continue, XRPL’s growth could mirror previous successes in the blockchain sector.
