XRP has jumped above $2.30 as excitement grows ahead of the XRPFi launch, a new decentralized finance platform set to expand the token’s utility. XRPFi, built by Flare Networks, will go live on Apr. 29. It will introduce smart contract functionality to XRP ( XRP ), finally enabling holders to stake, lend, borrow, and trade within the Flare ecosystem. For years, XRP users were mostly limited to holding or trading their tokens, as XRP’s native ledger doesn’t support smart contracts. This kept XRP mostly out of the booming DeFi space. Tomorrow pic.twitter.com/7cDyItYpeM — Flare ☀️ (@FlareNetworks) April 27, 2025 Flare’s solution uses a wrapped version called FXRP, which lets XRP connect with decentralized applications. This means XRP holders can earn rewards, find new ways to grow their holdings and access a wider range of financial services, all without handing over their tokens to third parties. XRPFi will leverage Flare’s decentralized oracles to get real-time price data and power permissionless liquid staking, lending, and trading through projects like Doppler Finance, Strobe Protocol, and Anodos Finance. It also taps into Flare’s FAssets system, offering a trust-minimized bridge for non-smart contract assets without relying on centralized middlemen.
