14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.
And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.
I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.
Happy Birthday, XRP!
$RLUSD is now available in Türkiye through three new partners: @BiLira_Kripto, @Bitexencom and @Bitlocom: https://t.co/85syhW1P3m
This is the latest step in a global expansion that has taken RLUSD from launch to a $1.7bn+ market cap in under a year.
The demand for regulated, enterprise-grade stablecoins is global. RLUSD is meeting it.
And we’re off! @CMEGroup is officially live with 24/7 crypto futures & options trading, providing around-the-clock access to crypto derivatives. @Ripple Prime is a day one clearing and financing partner, supporting always-on markets.
Fun fact: $XRP futures were the fastest ever contracts on CME to cross $1B in open interest, achieving this in just 3 months last year. The institutional demand is there, and now so is the infrastructure. https://t.co/V4k7UBd5Gv
Can XRP be used in strategies involving lending and vaults? Absolutely.
@HugoPhilion breaks down how XRP can be used as collateral to access yield strategies.
That includes wrapping XRP as FXRP on @FlareNetworks, borrowing stablecoins against it, and deploying those assets into other protocols, alongside vault-based strategies on XRPL and Flare.

Now 44% of the XRPL network has upgraded to v3.1.3!
If you’re running a node to support the network, please upgrade ASAP. 🙏🏾
Only 8 days left before the fix amendment activates - don’t be left out!
@0xQuantic One of the struggle for institutions to step in and deploy financial products is how you deal with the gas fee (who pays for it, how you account for the gas fee without mentionning decimals which a barrier for most accounting tool beyond 18).
@0xQuantic Two factors in my opinion:
- Those who only participate in the infrastructure by delegating to FTSO or staking
- Those who are still unconfortable with the level or cyber security risk posed by Defi and/or UX more accessible for the average joe.
Or a combination of both.
This time it’s not me saying it… Billions can come to Flare just with Uphold.
With FIP16, FLR token economics is fundamentally linked to ecosystem expansion.
Honestly, the past couple of days have not been easy for DeFi and the crypto space in general.
Yet it’s great to see the Flare ecosystem holding strong and growing despite everything.
It takes a lot to build this level of trust: extra hours of work, prompt responses, operational excellence, and strong leadership.
And we will only improve from here.
🚨AUSTRALIA APPROVES AUD STABLECOIN ON XRP LEDGER
Australia’s regulator ASIC has licensed AUDC Pty Ltd to issue a regulated Australian dollar-backed stablecoin on the XRP Ledger, marking a step toward institutional blockchain adoption.
the xrp ledger was ahead of its time.
the world needs a neutral bridge currency.
and $XRP was built to be exactly that.
the world’s bridge currency.
here’s my thesis on what happens now:

🚨BREAKING: FLARE NETWORKS & XAMAN WALLET LAUNCH ONE-CLICK DEFI FOR $XRP HOLDERS
@FlareNetworks and @XamanWallet have introduced seamless one-click DeFi access enabling $XRP holders to deposit into yield-generating vaults in a single transaction, eliminating bridging complexity and custodial risk.
The integration eliminates the multi-step process that typically requires bridging XRP to other chains, swapping for wrapped assets, and exposing users to smart contract risk across multiple platforms.
