What to know:
- Flare's earnXRP allows XRP holders to earn yield without selling their tokens or engaging in complex DeFi strategies.
- Users can deposit FXRP into a vault to earn returns compounded back into XRP.
- The vault enhances onchain activity and liquidity by turning idle XRP into productive capital, appealing to holders seeking yield without stablecoin exposure.
XRP holders now have a way to earn yield without selling their tokens or navigating complex DeFi strategies, with data-focused blockchain Flare's earnXRP, an fully on-chain yield product denominated in XRP.
The new vault allows users to deposit FXRP, a one-to-one representation of XRP on Flare, and earn returns that are compounded back into XRP, according to a press release. Instead of juggling multiple protocols, users make a single deposit and receive earnXRP, a receipt token that tracks their share of the vault and its accumulated yield.

Behind the scenes, the vault spreads funds across a mix of strategies, including XRP staking, liquidity provision and carry trades that borrow low-cost stablecoins and deploy them into higher-yield venues.
The launch matters because only a tiny fraction of XRP’s supply is currently used in DeFi, despite the token’s size and liquidity. By keeping returns denominated in XRP, earnXRP aims to appeal to holders who want yield without taking on stablecoin exposure or active trading risk.
For Flare, the vault acts as a liquidity engine. Turning idle XRP into productive capital increases onchain activity, deepens markets and strengthens Flare’s FAssets system, which brings XRP into smart contract environments.
