The post Major XRP News Coming: Is Flare About to Make a Big Announcement? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Hugo Philion, the brain behind Flare Networks, has revealed some exciting updates about the blockchain’s plans. Speaking in an interview with Thinking Crypto, he shared Flare’s vision of making blockchain technology more connected, secure, and useful for everyone.
FAssets Launch Timeline Revealed
One of the biggest announcements at the end of the year made by Phillion was about FAssets, a feature that will allow users to bring tokens like XRP into Flare’s system and use them in new ways, like earning rewards or participating in DeFi (decentralized finance). The rollout will start with FXRP on Flare’s testing ground, Songbird, by the end of 2024. After that, it’s heading to Flare’s main network in early 2025. Flare isn’t stopping at XRP either—Bitcoin and Dogecoin are next in line.
How it will Boost XRP, BTC & ETH
Flare Networks aims to become a central hub for connecting major blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, enabling seamless cross-chain interactions, especially for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. With a focus on Ethereum compatibility, Flare will soon integrate Dogecoin, reflecting its growing utility. The network is also offering a $500,000 grant to develop a staking system for Bitcoin and XRP, allowing users to stake tokens and earn liquid staking tokens for added flexibility in DeFi activities.
Plus, Flare’s native Oracle system ensures accurate data without relying on third parties, and its Data Connector bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3, enabling secure real-world data integration into decentralized applications.
Will Flare make it to the Top?
With the next altcoin season on the horizon, many low and mid-cap coins are expected to see significant price boosts, and Flare’s native token, FLR, is already showing signs of growth. Over the past month, FLR’s value surged by an impressive 165%, driven by the excitement surrounding the upcoming launch of FAsset. Currently priced at around $0.033, FLR holds a market cap of $1.72 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $45.16 million.
Its all-time high of $0.0797, reached in January 2023, could soon be within reach again if the launch of FAssets and favorable market conditions align, making FLR a token to watch in the coming months.
