Wallets on XRPL: Finding the Right Fit

The XRP Ledger has grown into one of the most active ecosystems in crypto, and with it comes a wide range of wallets. From the most trusted XRPL-native solutions to hardware devices and multichain mobile apps, there’s no shortage of options. But which one fits your needs best? Let’s walk through the landscape.


XRPL Native

If you’re looking for something built from the ground up for the XRPL, Xaman Wallet (formerly known as Xumm) stands out. It’s not only the most widely trusted option among the community but also offers full XRPL support and global fee coverage. For many, it’s the default choice when interacting with the ledger.


Hardware Security

For those who value security above all else, Ledger remains the gold standard. It keeps your assets safe offline, removing exposure to most online risks. That said, Ledger’s XRPL support is somewhat limited, so while it’s great for storage, it’s not the most flexible tool for active on-ledger interactions.


Mobile Wallets

Mobile-first wallets are becoming more popular, especially with WalletConnect support. Here, there’s a mix of established names and exciting newcomers:

  • Bifrost – A multichain favourite with a fee-free model. It now also supports XRPL’s Automated Market Maker (AMM), giving users seamless swaps and portfolio management directly inside the app.
  • Girin – Minimalistic, lightweight, and easy to navigate while still costing nothing to use.
  • Staticbit – A newer player, currently in public beta, but already showing promise as a zero-fee option.
  • Joey – A newcomer offering built-in wallet swaps (though those swaps come with fees).
  • Trust Wallet – Allows users to send and receive XRPL tokens but has notable limitations, like the inability to set trustlines or interact with XRPL dApps.

Web Plugin Wallets

For those who prefer browser extensions, the choices are a little more mixed.

  • Metamask – The most widely used browser wallet. While not built for XRPL, it now supports the EVM sidechain. Just note that it doesn’t use the same secret phrase across chains.
  • Crossmark – A solid, straightforward plugin that gets the job done without adding fees.
  • Gemwallet – Once promising, but development appears to have slowed, and adoption lags behind others.

XPMarket Wallet Support Overview

XPMarket is one of the only platforms on XRPL that supports all major wallet types, including hardware, mobile, and browser-based options.

Currently supported wallets:

  • Wallets using WalletConnect
  • Xaman
  • Metamask
  • Ledger
  • Crossmark
  • Gem Wallet

Users can connect directly at 👉 xpmarket.com/wallet to interact with DEX, AMMs, NFTs, and other XRPL features.


Wrapping Up

At the end of the day, the “best” wallet depends on what you’re looking for.

  • Xaman is the trusted XRPL-native pick.
  • Ledger is unbeatable for long-term security.
  • Bifrost delivers multichain flexibility with AMM support.
  • Metamask connects you to the EVM sidechain.

The important part is that XRPL users now have real choice, and as the ecosystem grows, those choices keep getting better.

“Our goal is to make the XRPL ecosystem more accessible by supporting every major wallet type,” says Dr. Artur Kirjakulov, CEO of XPMarket. “Whether users prefer the security of Ledger, the flexibility of Bifrost, or the familiarity of Metamask, XPMarket ensures they can interact seamlessly with DEX, AMMs, and NFTs on the XRPL.”
