{"88b19eccd0e510fbed79079516249959":"Flare has activated FXRP on its mainnet, allowing XRP to be wrapped and deployed across decentralized finance protocols. The rollout begins with capped minting and incentive pools, marking what Flare calls the start of an \u201cXRP DeFi awakening.\u201d","c92433d19f8640190e2b7bbd34046308":" Summary ","74e307185d41ea9ebb814c3f3d6cae13":" Flare has officially activated FXRP on its mainnet, allowing XRP holders to mint a fully composable, non-custodial version of the token for use across DeFi protocols. ","cd5f16a8d2126be1059c72c4bb3c27ec":" The rollout, capped at 5 million FXRP in its first week, pairs liquidity incentives with a carefully measured launch, positioning FXRP as the backbone of Flare\u2019s FAssets ecosystem. ","45217c19e0fbcc9d750bae90ba61cd21":" Beyond simply wrapping XRP, the project envisions FXRP powering lending, stablecoin minting, and yield-generating products, laying the foundation for what Flare calls the \u201cXRPFi flywheel\u201d and signaling a broader push to bring major assets like Bitcoin and Dogecoin into its DeFi stack. ","a6efb80be3b94c863579831e0c79a79c":"According to a Sept. 24 announcement, the Layer 1 blockchain has launched the first live instance of its FAssets protocol with FXRP v1.2. This enables XRP holders to mint a wrapped, composable version of the asset on the Flare network.","85b63c29d75f155b2a1327e54acc62bd":"Flare said the initial rollout is deliberately measured, with a minting cap of 5 million FXRP in the first week to ensure network stability.

Unlike isolated bridges, the wrapped asset is designed as a foundational layer within Flare\u2019s DeFi stack. This means that once minted, it can be seamlessly integrated as collateral for lending on protocols like Enosys Loans, used to mint an XRP-backed stablecoin, or supplied to liquidity pools without requiring custom integrations.","d3900c5b08db824d9a7e370fd3bd331e":"The upcoming launch of liquid-staked XRP, stXRP, is poised to further accelerate this by creating a yield-bearing derivative that can power a broader range of financial products, forming what the project terms the \u201cXRPFi flywheel.\u201d","1525ab93c470dfb01a925308bfbf3e7e":"The successful deployment of FXRP serves as proof of concept for Flare\u2019s broader ambitions.
