Flare Networks directly challenges the narrative that XRP holders stay passive and avoid decentralized finance. New FXRP data shows strong and growing DeFi participation. Nearly 79.7% of FXRP’s total supply, or 66.9 million tokens, remains locked across Flare-based protocols. At current valuations, users actively deploy more than $124 million in DeFi capital. This data clearly contradicts the idea that XRP investors only hold and wait.
Growth Continues During Market Weakness
Dune Analytics data reveals steady growth in both locked value and user participation since September 2025. FXRP DeFi users have climbed to 5,699 wallets, even as the broader crypto market struggled. Instead of chasing short-term yield, users continued locking capital and interacting with protocols throughout the downturn. This behavior signals conviction rather than speculation.
Flare Bridges XRP Into DeFi Infrastructure
Flare’s EVM-compatible blockchain plays a central role in this adoption. The network allows XRP holders to wrap their assets into FXRP and use them across lending, staking, and other DeFi applications. By removing smart contract limitations from native XRP, Flare unlocks functionality that the XRP Ledger alone cannot offer. The result looks like organic utility-driven growth.
Long-Term Utility Over Short-Term Hype
The FXRP trend highlights a shift in how XRP holders engage with crypto markets. Users keep capital deployed even during weak price action, showing confidence in infrastructure rather than price momentum. Rising user counts and sustained locked value point toward long-term adoption instead of speculative bursts.
