LONDON, UK – 25/05/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a groundbreaking development for blockchain interoperability, enterprise-focused blockchain platform VeChain has unveiled its first-ever cross-chain bridge through a strategic collaboration with Wanchain, a veteran in the decentralized interoperability space. This move signals a monumental leap in VeChain’s broader ambition to build a more integrated and scalable blockchain ecosystem—one that aligns technological advancement with enterprise utility and global commerce.
The newly established cross-chain infrastructure, powered by Wanchain’s technology, connects the VeChainThor blockchain with major industry players including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and the XRP Ledger. With this bridge, users will be able to move assets such as ETH, USDC, USDT, BTC, SOL, XRP, WAN, VET, VTHO, and VeBetterDAO’s B3TR seamlessly across six blockchain networks.
The integration marks the first time that stablecoins like USDC and USDT will be natively available on VeChainThor via wrapped versions, opening a vast new frontier for decentralized finance (DeFi) within the VeChain ecosystem. Developers and users alike can now engage in the creation of new decentralized applications, liquidity pools, trading pairs, and lending platforms utilizing stable assets with enhanced composability.
Beyond technical integration, this cross-chain bridge represents a foundational shift in how enterprises can conduct blockchain-based transactions. The ability to settle in globally recognized digital assets such as USDT and USDC streamlines payment processes, broadens financial flexibility, and reduces friction in tokenized commerce. This is particularly relevant for VeChain’s enterprise partners—including BMW, Walmart China, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and DNV—who can now further align their blockchain initiatives with broader financial ecosystems.
Wanchain’s bridge, known in the industry for its resilience and uptime, boasts a remarkable seven-year operational record without downtime or exploit incidents. The VeChain implementation will also undergo a rigorous third-party audit before public deployment to ensure the highest standards of security and compliance.
This development positions VeChain for explosive DeFi growth by making its network accessible to potentially over 435 million blockchain addresses already connected through Wanchain’s interoperability framework. With a wider gateway to liquidity and new user demographics, VeChain is poised to elevate its status from a specialized enterprise blockchain to a pivotal player in the global Web3 infrastructure landscape.
Temujin Louie, CEO of Wanchain, emphasized the collaborative potential of the partnership:
“Partnering with VeChain to launch this bridge is an exciting milestone for both organizations. We believe this collaboration will not only empower VeChain’s existing ecosystem with cross-chain capabilities but also create new pathways for innovation by bridging to some of the most significant blockchain networks in the space.”
VeChain CEO Sunny Lu echoed the sentiment and highlighted the broader implications:
“This is not just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic inflection point in our mission to advance real-world blockchain utility. By interconnecting with other ecosystems and enabling trustless value transfers, we are broadening the horizons for enterprises, developers, and end-users alike.”
The VeChainThor blockchain continues to serve as a foundation for impactful enterprise solutions, and its latest integration supports VeChain’s ongoing sustainability mission, notably through the VeBetterDAO platform. This decentralized application ecosystem incentivizes environmentally friendly actions with B3TR tokens, providing a novel use case for digital incentives tied to measurable sustainable outcomes.
Further validating VeChain’s growing influence, UFC President Dana White has recently joined the foundation as an official advisor, underscoring the platform’s momentum and reach beyond traditional enterprise environments.
As VeChain opens its doors to a multi-chain future, the implications for decentralized finance, enterprise adoption, and sustainable development are profound. With new tools, partnerships, and infrastructure in place, VeChain is setting a new standard for how Layer 1 blockchains can evolve into interconnected, real-world economic engines.
