Flare CEO says major XRPFi expansion over next six months to attract 5 billion XRP

Flare will push a major expansion of XRPFi, its XRP-based decentralised finance ecosystem, over the next six months, aiming to make XRP usable as a DeFi asset rather than only for payments. CEO Hugo Philion said Flare will become a fully programmable layer for the XRP Ledger and roll out upgrades starting in about two weeks. FXRP issuance has exceeded 150 million, and he projected up to 5 billion XRP could flow into Flare, though analysts see security checks and stablecoin liquidity as key hurdles.
