Flare Brings Second Public Company Into XRPFi Ecosystem
XRP’s push into institutional finance gained traction this week, with blockchain solutions provider Everything Blockchain Inc. (OTC: EBZT) signing a memorandum of understanding to adopt Flare’s XRPFi framework for corporate treasury management.
The deal follows VivoPower International’s (NASDAQ: VVPR) $100 million XRP commitment earlier this year, making EBZT only the second publicly listed company to embrace the initiative.
Flare’s system aims to turn XRP — historically a non-yielding asset — into a productive instrument. Its FAssets bridge extends smart contract functionality to tokens like XRP and bitcoin, while its Firelight restaking layer enables conversion into FXRP and deployment across lending, staking, and liquidity protocols.
“Institutions have had few ways to make XRP productive despite its size,” said Hugo Philion, Flare’s co-founder and CEO. “With VivoPower and now EBZT on board, XRPFi is taking shape as a new institutional standard.”
EBZT CEO Arthur Rozenberg described the move as part of a broader corporate shift: “We see digital assets like XRP as yield-bearing tools, not just speculative holdings. Flare gives us a compliant and auditable framework to achieve that.”
Though modest in scale compared to bitcoin and ether treasury pilots, two public companies adopting XRPFi in under a year signals a new narrative for XRP: less about price speculation, more about yield and long-term utility.
