XRP Enters Institutional DeFi as VivoPower Deploys $100 Million on Flare

VivoPower, a NASDAQ-listed sustainable energy company, has entered into a strategic partnership with Flare Networks to deploy $100 million in XRP for institutional yield generation.
The initiative brings enterprise-scale XRP capital into the decentralized finance (DeFi) space through Flare’s compliant yield infrastructure.
Flare Adds DeFi Layer to Ripple’s Infrastructure
Ripple’s XRP Ledger has long served as an enterprise-grade payments network. Now, Flare enhances it with DeFi-native capabilities such as FAssets, Firelight, and regulated yield mechanisms—forming what’s being branded as the next evolution of institutional DeFi: XRPFi.
This framework allows institutions to earn yield on idle XRP, increase their treasury holdings, and redeploy capital in a cycle of compounding utility.
Institutional-Grade DeFi Comes to XRP Ecosystem
The partnership reflects growing interest in XRP-based decentralized finance among institutional players. By deploying capital on Flare, VivoPower gains access to a secure, scalable, and regulation-aligned yield strategy without exiting the XRP ecosystem.
As institutional interest expands, initiatives like this may help reshape the role of XRP in broader capital markets—moving from pure settlement use cases toward asset productivity.
