Ripple executives, including President Monica Long and RippleX SVP Markus Infanger, have praised the integration of Axelar Network with the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This partnership has also been welcomed by the XRP community as it aims to improve blockchain interoperability and cross-chain connectivity. The collaboration will enhance the XRPL's capabilities, allowing for the facilitation of cross-chain decentralized applications (dApps) and the expansion of XRPL's features across multiple blockchains. Through this partnership, Axelar aims to extend XRPL's interoperability to over 55 connected blockchains, promoting greater interoperability and connectivity within the blockchain ecosystem.
