币界网报道:XRP surged 10% today as Ripple announced the launch of an Ethereum-compatible sidechain, aiming to enhance interoperability between the XRP Ledger and Ethereum ecosystems. The new sidechain will support smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), allowing developers to leverage both networks' strengths. Ripple's move is seen as a strategic effort to expand XRP's utility and attract more developers to its platform. Market analysts attribute the price rally to growing optimism around XRP's adoption and Ripple's ongoing legal clarity with the SEC. The sidechain is expected to go live later this year, with detailed technical specifications to be released
