Although XRP is well known, XRP still has largely no decentralized finance (DEFI) due to the technical limitations of XRP Ledger (XRPL).
XRPFI, a Defi ecosystem centered on XRP (XRP), aiming to close the gap. It uses Flare Network’s bridging and smart contract technology to bring XRP into programmable financing.
Flare Network is a full-stack layer 1 blockchain designed for data-intensive applications, which is an important bridge for connecting non-smart contract assets such as XRP to the DEFI ecosystem.
At the heart of Flare’s infrastructure is Fasset, which creates a fully collateral representation of these assets. An example of note is FXRP, which is a wrapper version of XRP, which enables holders to deploy their XRP in the DEFI protocol in the Flare network.
By placing FXRP, the holder receives STXRP, a liquid containing tokens that represent claims about fixed FXRP.
“This setup allows XRP holders to unlock the yield of local samples on assets that do not support accumulated, thus allowing passive revenue without sacrificing liquidity,” Max Luck, Flare’s head of growth, told Cointelegraph.

Institutions are becoming increasingly interested in XRPFI: Digital Money Platform, which holds over 1.8 billion XRP Announce A $100 million XRP deployment was conducted on Flare, highlighting how major players can validate and accelerate the momentum of XRPFI.
With XRP’s market cap exceeding $130 billion, even introducing a small portion of liquidity into DEFI can unlock important new sources of capital for the wider ecosystem. Flare’s technology expands XRP’s utilities and encourages more participation from institutional investors and retail holders.
With the launch of STXRP, liquid evaporation will enter the XRP ecosystem
Liquid discharge will debut in the XRP ecosystem, while STXRP is launched on the Flare-powered Firelight protocol. Much like the steth where liquid contains tokens (Stees) for staked eth(eth.
This process casts STXRP at a 1:1 ratio by storing FXRP into FireLight’s launch vault. These ERC-20 tokens are fully transferable and can be used in decentralized exchanges, loan markets and other Fefi schemes that generate generation.
Importantly, the underlying FXRP will remain on a secured service network, which helps ensure decentralized protocols across multiple ecosystems while potentially winning rewards for users.
As holders of STXRP, users may also win the line of fire, which may affect future reward distribution. In the long run, this dynamic can improve the synthetic nature of STXRP in the XRPFI ecosystem, thus enabling it to be used as collateral, liquidity or load-bearing assets in a wide range of DEFI applications.
