One of America’s top exchanges has announced that revenue yields, one of the most demanded services for XRP holders, is approaching reality.
This announcement creates fresh opportunities for XRP’s distributed finance (DEFI) as Flare Network’s much-anticipated facet protocols have been published.
Telling XRP yield offers
In X’s post, Uphold revealed that revenue yield on XRP is one of the features most frequently requested by users. The team said it is “steady progress,” and now they are looking at “some promising ways to provide it.” This suggests that the exchange will soon share details.

In particular, timing coincides with a surge in activity in the XRP Defi space. With the latest launch of FLARE, the tokens provide the tool to generate on-chain yields.
Launching Flare Facets Unlock XRP Defi
Flare has now enabled officially activated facets. This is a protocol that converts non-smart contract cryptocurrencies such as XRP into Defi-Ready assets. Its first release, FXRP V1.2, is a one-to-one representation of XRP protected over a network of independent agents and flare native data protocols.
FXRP allows holders to run XRP in distributed applications. This includes trading and lending, as well as building stubcoin and staking of liquids. Mint started with a weekly cap of 5 million FXRP. Interestingly, market participants exceeded the cap in just four hours. This underscores the heavy demand for Defi-Ready XRP.

To mint FXRP, users move XRP to a freestanding wallet that supports both XRP ledgers and flares.
For those who don’t like mint, FXRP is also available for flare-based distributed exchanges such as SparkDex, Blazeswap, and Enosys.
Built-in security and incentives
Flare pointed out that security is at the heart of facets. Specifically, the system has undergone four independent audits by companies such as Coinspect and Zellic. At the same time, I also ran an immune-driven bug award and community code review on Code4rena. Monitoring is provided 24/7 through exaggeration to ensure continuous protection against threats.
To begin recruiting, Flare offers RFLR incentives to the Defi pool to significantly increase the total locked value or increase on-chain activity. At launch, it will include FXRP/USDT0 liquidity pools from SparkDex, Blazeswap and eNOSYS, with up to 50% target APR.
Firelight and StxRP
Meanwhile, Flare’s roadmap is not stopped with FXRP. Future liquid staking protocol FireLight will allow XRP holders to turn STXRP into Mint. This harvest-containing version of XRP can earn annual revenues of up to 7% while maintaining liquids for borrowing and lending.
Energy Company Vivopower has pledged $100 million in XRP, supporting the initiative, and Uphold is participating as an important partner in providing access to FXRP.
This extension of yield options highlights why Uphold’s own XRP yield plan arrives at a pivotal moment. The future capabilities of the exchange can be seamlessly integrated with the growing opportunities of flares, allowing retail users to earn yields in a safe, decentralized environment.
XRP’s Defi Awakening Gets Pace
For over a decade, XRP has been enhancing large-scale, fast and efficient payments, but lacking native smart contract capabilities. The Flare ecosystem, combining FXRP, Firelight, and STXRP, currently gives XRP the same complexity and yield potential for Ethereum failure.
Analysts like Dom Kwok, co-founder of Easyya, believe that the true Defi breakout, backed by institutional participation and ETF focused on XRP, could even drive XRP to a four-digit rating.
