XRP News Today: Xp.Finance Ignites DeFi Ambitions on the XRP Ledger, Set to Launch a Non-Custodial Lending & Borrowing Protocol on XRPFI

XRP is back in the headlines, after a volatile spring sell‑off, the price now hovers in the narrow $2.10–$2.20 band, challenging traders nerves while whales quietly scoop up discounted coins. Under the hood, builders are racing to build the next product to unlock the next wave of on‑chain utilities and Xp.Finance is quickly becoming the project to watch.

The team behind this purpose‑built lending protocol has kicked off development of the version 1 of the non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol, targeting a public launch in mid‑Q3 2025 according to the project roadmap.

If you‘re hunting for the first flagship non-custodial money market on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), you won’t want to miss what comes next.

WHY XP.FINANCE MATTERS RIGHT NOW

Decentralised finance has upended traditional banking on Ethereum and other chains, but the XRPL still lacks a native lending layer capable of turning idle XRP into productive collateral.

Xp.Finance intends to fill that void with an over‑collateralised borrowing engine that settles in seconds, costs fractions of a cent and leaves custody in the users hands.

In a climate where capital efficiency is king and gas fees crush returns elsewhere, the XRPLs speed and economy offers a fertile soil for a breakout lending protocol.

Xp.Finance is staking an early claim, giving holders a reason to keep their XRP on‑chain rather than bridged away.

At the heart of the platform lies the $XPF token. It isn‘t just a token, it’s the lifeblood of the XpFinance protocol.

$XPF Holders will:

Govern: Propose and vote on risk parameters, collateral additions and fee splits.

Earn: Receive a pro‑rata share of every interest payment and liquidation fee once mainnet is live.

Signal: Stake XPF to boost borrowing caps for the assets they believe in, aligning incentives between liquidity providers and borrowers.

Full tokenomics, allocation schedules and launch mechanics will be revealed within the next few days. Early adopters who follow @XpFinance on X or jump into the official telegram community will be first to know and first to position themselves for genesis‑phase incentives and airdrops.

ROADMAP & MVP ROLL‑OUT

Core smart‑contract architecture in active development, with a Q3 2025 launch target to go live on XRPL Devnet.

Community testers will be able to open test loans, trigger liquidations and simulate fee flows into a staging version of the XPF staking module.

History shows that the first DeFi primitives on an emerging chain capture sticky network effects.

Compound did it on Ethereum, Aave on Polygon, Jito on Solana.

On the XRPL, that role is wide open and Xp.Finance has sprinted out of the gate with seasoned engineers, clear milestones and a token model built for long‑term alignment.

As whales position around $2‑range XRP and broader sentiment resets, infrastructure projects that add utility rather than chase hype stand to ride the next leg higher.
