FXRP supply tops 100M, ~70% deployed in XRPFi DeFi via staking, lending, vaults. Summary Nearly 100M $XRP bridged as FXRP, with ~70% actively deployed in DeFi. Firelight holds about 21% of FXRP staked, while Upshift vaults scaled from ~$6M to ~$25M capacity.

Flare’s bid to become the execution layer for “XRPFi” just cleared a hard milestone: nearly 100 million $XRP has now been bridged to the network as FXRP, with close to 70% of that capital actively deployed in DeFi rather than sitting idle.…

Ethereum’s new roadmap lands in a market that is less interested in vision and more interested in evidence. That is the core tension behind the Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Priorities Update for 2026, which breaks the network’s next phase into three tracks, including Scale, Improve UX, and Harden the L1. The roadmap is technical, but the market question is not. Investors want to know whether these priorities can help $ETH recover in this bear market, and whether they can do so by changing risk and economics rather than just developer sentiment. That is why the Foundation’s framing matters. It is not…

The DeFi landscape is currently in the process of transitioning from fragmented liquidity to a single, unified, omnichain future. To facilitate cross-chain interaction, Oku (an advanced trading platform built on the Uniswap v3 network) has just announced its integration with Circle’s Cross Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). Customers will now be able to transfer their native $USDC from 14 different blockchains with no slippage at all; thereby removing one of the biggest challenges confronting crypto: using potentially unreliable, wrapped assets.

The problem, however, is that mining Bitcoin without investing a bit is practically impossible. In fact, to be honest, it is possible to try mining Bitcoin with low-cost equipment, but it is practically impossible to achieve results. The real risk is spending money on energy costs without earning anything, or almost nothing. The situation changes only if one is willing to invest a bit.
