In many DeFi projects, it is common to see TVL drop right after the TGE. Honestly, we also had some concerns about TVL falling post-TGE.
However, our XRP deposits have been continuously growing, which proves the real demand for XRPfi.
Moving forward, our focus is to keep building the infrastructure so that more XRP holders and institutions can make full use of XRP.
Tokenizing real-world assets doesn’t mean much if you can’t actually use them onchain
That’s why @doppler_fi is building the financial operating layer for tokenized assets. Wrapping something is step 1. Making it earn, borrow, and move is the actual product.
What’s already live: $XRP and $RLUSD vaults, $150M+ deposited across 14k+ users, and that same infra now running Earn products inside Bybit and Bitget Wallet. On the institutional side, they’ve partnered up with SBI Ripple Asia and SBI Digital Finance.
base:0x07b3d902783c3c12b077508c3b5c00113d1291d0 is also up on OKX and Kraken, with staking tied to governance and product access - what stands out the most to me (as a DeFi nerd) is that we can stake to unlock protocol perks such as advanced vaults and strategies, early access to new products, selected ecosystem campaigns and more..
Some exciting stuff that is next on the roadmap:
- cbXRP vault strategies on Base
- expansion to Canton network
- native lending on the XRP Ledger, then institutional credit
- managed vaults where outside trading firms run strategies on Doppler’s custody and settlement setup, including treasuries, MMFs, and credit
As more traditional capital comes onchain, the tokens themselves won’t be the story. The layer that lets people actually put them to work will be. Very excited to see how this plays out as a XDP token holder
Crypto events get bigger every year, and not just in headcount. The quality of the room changes too.
A few years ago these were events for degens. Now they've gone past crypto-native institutions to traditional financial institutions and large fintechs showing up as participants, not spectators.
Most of my meetings this week were with institutions that aren't crypto-native. That turned out to be a useful exercise. It forced me to think, from their side of the table, about what blockchain actually needs before it reaches and gets used by a much wider audience.
That's what we're building at @doppler_fi: the infrastructure layer for those institutions, and the core pieces that have to exist before this technology gets adopted more broadly.
Doppler’s expansion is starting to look more like infrastructure than a single product. The focus is now not just on $XRP yield, but on connecting custody, liquidity, lending, and distribution.
XRPL remains the core market, with Base adding access to broader onchain liquidity. Canton points in a different direction: tokenized assets and institutional settlement. $130m TVL, listed on Kraken, OKX, Binance Alpha++.
The partner network is also quite impressive IMO: Fireblocks, Ceffu, SBI, Bybit and Bitget Wallet each cover a different part of the stack.
This gives @doppler_fi more routes to bring XRP and other tokenized assets into active use.
The base:0x07b3d902783c3c12b077508c3b5c00113d1291d0 token is now part of a wider ecosystem, and Doppler seems like the best beta for XRP IMO.
A sneak peek before the full video drops 👀
We hacked Namsan Tower with a little vibe coding to spotlight the people who made XRP Seoul shine. 🗼
Special thanks to @doppler_fi for building a secure foundation for Korea’s XRP community.
Seoul lit up with the base:0x07b3d902783c3c12b077508c3b5c00113d1291d0 Army.
Proud to be part of @XRPSEOUL 2026, one of the $XRP community’s biggest gatherings, and to see Doppler overlooking the city from N Seoul Tower.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Seoul.
base:0x07b3d902783c3c12b077508c3b5c00113d1291d0 and $XRP ecosystem keeps moving forward.
Doppler recently launched $XDP, so it’s still early, and I see it as one of the best exposure plays for the $XRP ecosystem.
$130M+ TVL, 14K+ depositors and currently #1 on the XRP Ledger by TVL.
The numbers are starting to speak for themselves.
Seoul is feeling the Doppler Effect. 🇰🇷🔥
Packed booth. Massive turnout. Real momentum.
@doppler_fi isn’t just showing up in the $XRP ecosystem. It’s becoming impossible to ignore. 👀
When we started @doppler_fi, most ripple:native holders had one option: hold it. Institutions had ways to put their ripple:native to work, but if you were a regular holder, you didn't. So we built a place where you could.
There are more options now, which is good. The downside is that each one lives somewhere else. You have to go find it, bridge to it, figure out how it works and what could go wrong. Most people don't bother, so most ripple:native still just sits there.
That's what this changes. Soon you'll be able to get into @FlareNetworks's FXRP vaults directly from Doppler, from where your ripple:native already is.
I think of it like this. Our vaults were the first thing you could do on Doppler, and now vaults built by other teams like Flare's are part of it too. One place, and whatever works for ripple:native is reachable from there.
We called this a financial operating layer in the roadmap. This is the first time you can see what that means from the outside.
Around this time last year, @XRPSEOUL 2025 took place as the first community event held under the “XRP Seoul” name.
@doppler_fi worked closely with @xrplkorea, supporting the event through sponsorship and helping with the overall preparation.
Since it was our first event, neither the XRPL Korea team nor the Doppler team knew exactly what to expect. We knew Korea had a large XRP holder base, but we had no idea how many holders and builders would actually show up.
The turnout far exceeded our expectations.
More than 3,000 holders attended, along with 100+ VCs and builders, making XRP Seoul one of the most successful events during KBW.
Looking back, what is even more interesting is how many of the themes discussed on stage at the time, including RWA, stablecoins, digital asset treasuries, and yield, have since become key pillars driving the XRPL ecosystem forward.
Doppler has grown alongside that ecosystem as well. Over the past year, XRP deposited in our main vault has grown from 25.4M XRP to 89M XRP, roughly 3.5x.
There has always been something special about community events in the XRP ecosystem.
They bring together retail holders who believe in the vision of XRP, builders pioneering the future of finance on XRPL, and financial institutions looking to be at the forefront of adopting and utilizing its capabilities.
Five years from now, or perhaps ten, I look forward to looking back at the presentations from XRP Seoul 2026 and remembering them as the starting point of some of the great changes and innovations that followed.
A year and a half ago @doppler_fi was #3 on XRPL with $2.29m in TVL, and I posted that the goal was becoming #1.
We've held #1 for a while now. $136m today, the largest yield venue on XRPL, and the ripple:native in the vault has only gone up since launch.
I want to be clear about why that happened.
ripple:native had no staking, no native yield, no smart contracts. We could have built something quick on top of that. Instead we built around institutional custody, off-exchange settlement, yield paid in the asset you deposit, and proof of reserves from early on.
Slower and less exciting, but the only version of this that institutions would ever touch.
So the first goal is done. And compared to what we're actually building, it's still day one.
Here's the thing I believe.
Treasuries, stocks, funds and credit are all being tokenized, and that pace is only going to pick up. But an asset sitting onchain is just a balance. What makes it capital is everything around it: being able to earn on it, borrow against it, lend it, settle it, and do all of that in a way institutions can sign off on.
That infrastructure decides how much of this actually gets used.
That's what @doppler_fi is building. A financial operating layer for tokenized assets, starting from the yield base we've already proven on XRPL and extending into lending, credit, and whatever else financing onchain needs to work.

Doppler started with a simple question. Why can't ripple:native holders earn on what they already own without selling it?
Every conversation I've had with institutions since has come back to a bigger version of that question. Trillions in assets are moving onchain, and most of them are still just sitting there.
@CantonNetwork is where a lot of that institutional capital lives. It's the network DTCC, Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas and Citadel chose to build on, with over $8T in tokenized assets issued or processed on it.
Bringing Doppler there, starting with canton-network:native, is our next step in building the financial operating layer that puts those assets to work.
We're still early. But this is the part we've been waiting to build.
