XRP Ledger Bridge: how to bridge to and from XRP Ledger

XRP Ledger has its own design that most general bridges do not support out of the box. A small set of integrations, issuer-run stablecoins and exchanges carry most of the traffic.

Quick answer

Services supporting XRP Ledger: 6. Most used in our guides: THORChain, NEAR Intents, Squid, SideShift. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.

Popular services

  • THORChain

    THORChain lets you swap real coins between many networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. You send one coin and get another real coin back on its own network. Every swap passes through THORChain’s own token, RUNE.

  • NEAR Intents

    NEAR Intents lets you swap real coins across networks, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Zcash. You say what you want to end up with, and solvers compete to give you the best price. You receive the real coin on the destination network, not a wrapped token.

  • Squid

    Squid is a cross-chain swap service built into many wallets and apps. It started on Axelar and now also uses Circle CCTP, IBC, Chainflip and LayerZero. It also has a fast mode where solvers fill your order. It grew out of the Axelar ecosystem but now runs as an independent project.

  • SideShift

    SideShift is an instant exchange that swaps about 200 coins across dozens of networks, with no account. It is handy for moving between chains like Bitcoin, XRP, Cardano or Polkadot and stablecoins on EVM networks. It does not support Monero, Kaspa or Zcash.

Alternative ways to move funds

Through a centralised exchange

Deposit on XRP Ledger, trade if needed, and withdraw on the destination network. Simple and often cheap, but the exchange holds your funds in between and needs identity verification.

Move stablecoins instead

Converting to USDC or USDT and moving it through the issuer’s own transfer protocol often has the widest coverage and the least slippage. Swap back on the destination if you need another asset.

Two steps through a well-connected chain

If no single route exists, first move to a chain with many connections (Ethereum, Solana or a major rollup), then on to the destination. It costs two fees, but each step uses a well-tested route.

How transfers work on XRP Ledger

  • Check the route guides below first: they list the integrations that work today.
  • Stablecoins issued natively on XRP Ledger can often be moved through issuer or exchange rails.
  • Centralised exchanges are a reliable fallback for the native coin.

What to watch out for

  • Memos, destination tags or activation deposits are common. Read the deposit instructions carefully.
  • Fewer routes means wider spreads. Compare at least two options before sending larger amounts.
