XRP price remains subdued even as fresh earning prospects surface.

XRP’s price has remained largely flat over the past 24 hours, tracking broader crypto market trends, even as a new product launches to help holders earn yield without selling their tokens.

On Tuesday, Upshift, Clearstar, and Flare introduced earnXRP, a vault that simplifies income generation for XRP holders. The product allows users to earn additional XRP on top of their spot holdings without navigating complex DeFi strategies.

Platform Overview
Upshift provides toolkits for protocols and wallets to create DeFi earn vaults. Clearstar designs institutional-grade vaults, and Flare is a Layer-1 blockchain optimized for data-intensive applications. Ripple uses XRP to facilitate cross-border payments.

How earnXRP Works
Users deposit Flare’s FXRP — a 1:1 over-collateralized ERC-20 representation of XRP — into the vault. The vault deploys capital across various strategies, and in return, users receive earnXRP, a receipt token representing their share and the accrued XRP-denominated yield.

Year-end trading typically features low liquidity and limited investor participation, contributing to irregular price movements.

Despite muted trading, XRP could be positioned for a bounce, as social sentiment turns sharply negative. According to analytics firm Santiment, such contrarian setups have historically preceded recoveries.

“XRP is seeing far more negative social media commentary than average. Historically, this setup leads to price rises. When retail has doubts about a coin’s ability to rise, the rise becomes significantly more likely,” Santiment noted on X.
