XRP DeFi Push Gains Momentum as Flare Onboards Another Public Company

Flare Expands XRPFi Reach With Second Public Company

XRP’s move into the institutional arena gained momentum this week as Everything Blockchain Inc. (OTC: EBZT) signed on to adopt Flare’s XRP finance (XRPFi) framework.

The U.S.-listed firm becomes the second public company to commit to Flare’s model, following VivoPower International (NASDAQ: VVPR), which earlier this year pledged $100 million in XRP to the ecosystem.

XRPFi is designed to transform XRP — historically a non-yielding token — into a productive treasury instrument. At its core is Flare’s FAssets bridge, which extends smart contract functionality to assets like XRP and bitcoin. Combined with Firelight, Flare’s restaking layer, the system allows firms to convert XRP into FXRP and deploy it across decentralized lending, staking, and liquidity markets.

“XRP has long been one of the largest digital assets, yet lacked yield-bearing use cases for institutions,” said Hugo Philion, Flare’s co-founder and CEO. “With VivoPower and now EBZT, XRPFi is being validated as a compliant, non-custodial framework for corporate treasuries.”

EBZT framed its adoption as a step toward redefining how public firms manage blockchain holdings.

“This is about unlocking financial utility, turning XRP from a speculative asset into something that compounds over time,” said Arthur Rozenberg, EBZT’s CEO. “Flare provides the rails to achieve this within governance and audit standards required of listed companies.”

While XRPFi remains small compared to bitcoin and ether-based treasury pilots, two listed companies adopting within months signals a growing institutional narrative: XRP as a yield-generating asset rather than just a speculative token.
