Flare Expands Institutional Adoption as Everything Blockchain Inc. Joins XRPFi Standard for Treasury Yield
Second publicly traded company embraces Flare’s XRPFi model, following VivoPower’s $100M deployment
[London, U.K.] — August 29, 2025 — Flare, the Layer 1 blockchain for data and interoperability, announced today that Everything Blockchain Inc. (OTC: EBZT), a U.S.-listed public company, has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to adopt Flare’s institutional-grade XRPFi (XRP DeFi) framework for its digital asset treasury.
EBZT expects to allocate approximately $10 million in XRP in its initial phase, with the potential to scale further as part of its digital treasury strategy. The agreement makes EBZT one of the first U.S. public companies to deploy XRP in a compliant, yield-bearing structure, joining Nasdaq-listed VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ: VVPR), which committed $100M in XRP to Flare’s ecosystem earlier this year. Together, these moves demonstrate XRPFi’s growing momentum as the emerging institutional standard for corporate treasury yield.
XRPFi represents Flare’s vision for establishing an institutional framework around XRP, transforming the traditionally non-yield asset into a productive treasury tool. At the core of this framework is FAssets, Flare’s trustless bridging system that provides smart contract functionality to non-smart contract assets like XRP and BTC. By leveraging FAssets and Firelight protocol, Flare’s decentralized restaking layer, EBZT intends to convert XRP into FXRP, then allocate it across decentralized lending, staking, and liquidity protocols.
“XRP, now a roughly $150 billion asset, has been a cornerstone of digital finance for more than a decade, yet institutions have had few ways to make it productive,” says Hugo Philion, Co-Founder and CEO of Flare. “Flare changes that by enabling a compliant, on-chain, non-custodial yield framework designed for corporate treasuries. With VivoPower and now Everything Blockchain, public companies are validating that XRPFi is not just a concept but an emerging institutional standard.”
For EBZT, the decision reflects a shift in how public companies approach blockchain participation. EBZT aims to show how XRP can serve as a compliant, yield-bearing asset rather than a passive holding. Arthur Rozenberg, CEO of Everything Blockchain Inc., says, “This is about unlocking the true financial utility of digital assets like XRP, not just as speculative holdings, but as yield-bearing instruments that can compound over time. Flare gives us the rails to do this in a way that meets the governance, security, and auditability standards required of public companies.”
With multiple public companies adopting XRPFi and millions in assets already on Flare, the network is establishing itself as the default programmable utility layer for XRP in institutional finance. The upcoming launch of FAssets will expand these opportunities to other non-smart contract assets.
