The digital asset treasury company, Everything Blockchain Inc., is set to become the second publicly-traded entity to adopt an XRP yield-bearing structure created by Flare. As a layer-1 network focused on decentralized finance (DeFi) interoperability, Flare has been focused on expanding institutional adoption for XRP.

A press release sent to CryptoPotato revealed that Everything Blockchain has entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to adopt Flare’s XRP DeFi (XRPFi) framework. This development comes after the Nasdaq-listed energy solutions provider VivoPower International committed $100 million in XRP to the Flare ecosystem.

Everything Blockchain Embraces Flare’s XRPFi

According to Flare, the XRPFi strategy will enable Everything Blockchain to deploy XRP in a compliant manner while earning yield. Flare already uses its smart contract infrastructure to unlock yield-generating opportunities for other traditionally non-yielding assets.

Flare’s institutional-grade XRPFi framework will propel the coin’s emergence as a standard for corporate treasury yield. This will help establish XRP as a productive treasury tool, with solid institutional participation.

“XRP, now a roughly $150 billion asset, has been a cornerstone of digital finance for more than a decade, yet institutions have had few ways to make it productive. Flare changes that by enabling a compliant, on-chain, non-custodial yield framework designed for corporate treasuries.

With VivoPower and now Everything Blockchain, public companies are validating that XRPFi is not just a concept but an emerging institutional standard,” said Flare’s co-founder and CEO, Hugo Philion.

From passive Holding to Yield-Bearing

Everything Blockchain will shift from holding XRP as a passive asset to a compliant, yield-bearing strategy. Such a development could affect how public companies approach blockchain participation.

Flare says it is ready to pioneer this shift through its trustless bridging system, FAssets, and decentralized restaking layer Firelight. The two protocols will allow Everything Blockchain to convert XRP to the Flare-native FXRP and allocate it to lending, staking, and liquidity protocols.

“This is about unlocking the true financial utility of digital assets like XRP, not just as speculative holdings, but as yield-bearing instruments that can compound over time. Flare gives us the rails to do this in a way that meets the governance, security, and auditability standards required of public companies,” commented Arthur Rozenberg, CEO of Everything Blockchain Inc.

The former CEO of stablecoin firm behemoth Tether is throwing his support behind a new USDT rival, according to Bloomberg.

Tether co-founder Reeve Collins is now the chairman and co-founder of Pi Protocol, the maker of a new USDT competitor, USP, Bloomberg reports.

The Pi stablecoin is scheduled to roll out on the Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) blockchains later this year.

Pi aims to use smart contracts to execute transactions and mint the USP stablecoin, which aims to be backed by bonds and other yield-bearing real-world assets.

The project aims to be more decentralized than other stablecoin projects, such as Tether’s USDT, giving users a larger piece of the pie, according to the report.

Says Collins on the new stablecoin,

“I very much supported Tether over the years, it’s an extraordinary invention that we’ve developed…

We view Pi Protocol as the evolution of stablecoins.

Tether has been extremely successful in showcasing demand for stablecoins. But they keep all the yield. We believe 10 years later the market is really ready to evolve.”

Says Pi CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar of the new crypto project,

“You want assets that are non-correlated to crypto that are mid- to high yield, low risk.

We have a mechanism that assesses the quality of the asset. They are ones that are vetted on their loss ratio and origination of where they are coming from.”

Reeve Collins, one of the original architects behind Tether USD (USDT), is backing a new yield-bearing stablecoin project called Pi Protocol.

Collins co-founded Tether alongside Brock Pierce and Craig Sellars and served as its first CEO from 2013 to 2015. 

According to a Bloomberg News report, the decentralized stablecoin will launch in the second half of 2025 and will initially be available on Ethereum and Solana.

USP is Pi Protocol’s stablecoin, which is minted using smart contracts. The stablecoin will be over-collateralized with assets such as US Treasuries, money-market funds, and insurance products.

Collins said in an interview:

“We view Pi Protocol as the evolution of stablecoins. Tether has been extremely successful in showcasing demand for stablecoins. But they keep all the yield. We believe 10 years later, the market is really ready to evolve.”

He added that Pi Protocol aims to capitalize on the expanding stablecoin market and the growing role of real-world assets in crypto.

Additionally, minting USP will reward users with another token, the USI, whose details were not disclosed. 

The project’s official website also mentions USPi, a yield-bearing non-fungible token (NFT). Holders will receive a share of the platform’s revenue, which comes from various sources, including yield from stablecoin minting. 

USPi holders will also have decision-making power and will vote on risk parameters, collateral policies, and revenue distribution. Pi’s team and advisors have been allocated 25% of the governance token supply, with a pre-sale underway.

Importance of yield-bearing stablecoins

Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, recently warned during a Bloomberg TV interview that stablecoins must offer yield-accrual alternatives to compete with other methods of holding and transacting dollars.

He added that although cash deposited in banks can accrue a 4% yield in a high-interest environment, offering this yield through stablecoins is not simple.

USDe offered holders a nearly 30% annual percentage yield (APY), but its dynamic rebalancing decreased the yield to 6% as of press time. Ethena Labs’ stablecoin is the third-largest in the market, surpassing veteran DAI by roughly $1.5 billion.
