VivoPower Deploys $100M in XRP on Flare to Launch Institutional DeFi Engine

Dubai & London — VivoPower (NASDAQ: VVPR) is taking a bold leap into the future of institutional digital finance. The company has inked a definitive strategic partnership with Flare, marking the first major deployment of its new XRP-focused treasury strategy.

Phase one begins with a benchmarked commitment of $100 million in XRP, to be activated via Flare’s programmable yield ecosystem. This deal doesn’t just signal confidence in XRP—it marks a pivotal moment for enterprise-grade decentralized finance, positioning XRP as a serious contender in institutional treasury management.

From Passive Holding to Perpetual Growth

VivoPower’s strategy flips traditional treasury logic on its head: don't just hold XRP—put it to work. Through Flare’s native protocols like Firelight, VivoPower will generate on-chain yield and reallocate returns back into its XRP reserves. The result is a compounding engine designed for long-term capital efficiency.
“Simply holding XRP isn’t enough anymore. This partnership puts our treasury into motion. We’re using Flare’s infrastructure to build a regenerative cycle: yield in, XRP out. It’s a new standard in digital asset productivity.”

Kevin Chin, Executive Chairman & CEO of VivoPower
A key pillar in this model is Ripple’s upcoming RLUSD stablecoin, which VivoPower will adopt as its primary cash-equivalent reserve, reinforcing both stability and compliance in its treasury.

Flare’s FAssets Unlock XRP Utility at Scale

This move also marks the first institutional deployment of Flare’s FAssets system, a non-custodial protocol that allows non-smart contract tokens like XRP to interact with DeFi tools while preserving their native security.

Hugo Philion, Co-Founder of Flare, described the system as more than a bridge:
“FAssets is a gateway. It brings assets like XRP into programmable environments without sacrificing security. With VivoPower, we’re inviting institutions to finally access this layer of DeFi utility.”

Already validated by retail partners like Uphold—serving 10M+ users and holding $7B in reserves—Flare’s institutional traction is now set to accelerate. Key infrastructure like Firelight and USDT0-backed liquidity pools position Flare as a compliant DeFi runway for enterprise adoption.

XRPFi: A New Institutional Standard

This collaboration births a new category: XRPFi—DeFi tailored for institutions. Defined by regulatory clarity, yield sustainability, and asset-backed security, XRPFi represents a secure evolution of decentralized finance.

At the core is the XRP Ledger (XRPL), which has operated since 2012 as one of the most efficient and reliable blockchain networks. Its track record and architecture make it ideal for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)—a cornerstone of VivoPower’s long-term thesis.

Backed by Royalty, Built by Experts

VivoPower’s transformation into an XRP-centric enterprise is backed by HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Talal Al Saud and other global shareholders. Former senior Ripple executives are guiding execution, ensuring alignment with ecosystem goals and institutional rigor.

This strategic alliance places South-South financial innovation at the center of a global DeFi shift—starting in Dubai, scaling through London, and built on infrastructure designed to cross continents and compliance borders.
