With XRP holders gaining access to new yield products through the Flare and Monarq collaboration, the scope of XRP-based DeFi utilization has expanded significantly.

According to CryptoPotato, Flare, a DeFi application blockchain network, has unveiled a new XRP yield product in collaboration with digital asset manager Monarq and vault infrastructure provider Upshift. The new product, Monarq XRP Yield Vault (MXRPY), launched on Flare, offers diversified earning opportunities for XRP holders.

MXRPY is operated by Monarq and built on Upshift's vault infrastructure. Users deposit Flare XRP (FXRP) and receive MXRPY tokens representing their principal investment and accumulated earnings. The product allocates capital to three strategies: options trading, basis and funding rate arbitrage, and on-chain XRPFi operations.

The first yield structure involves executing options strategies across various platforms and over-the-counter products, using XRP as collateral. The second strategy utilizes stablecoins borrowed from major platforms to deploy XRP in funding rate and market-neutral basis strategies. The third strategy involves deploying capital into Flare-based XRP Finance (XRPFi) opportunities and DeFi applications.

The initial deposit limit is set at 500,000 FXRP. The vault's target annual yield ranges from 3% to 4%, with actual returns distributed over time depending on strategy, performance, and market conditions. The product is accessible through Upshift, and withdrawal processing occurs every Friday. An instant redemption feature is also available for an additional fee.

Regarding the launch, Shiliang Tang, Managing Partner at Monarq, stated, “Real financial systems need broader options. MXRPY is designed to be one such option for XRP holders.” Ethan Luc, Head of Growth at Upshift, commented, “The Clearsta EarnXRP vault demonstrated a real demand for XRP-denominated vaults on Flare. Upshift provided the infrastructure for that launch, and now we are expanding the model with Monarq to a second XRP vault with a different strategy structure and broader yield sources.”

Flare has launched several yield-generating products in recent months, including a lending market for XRP holders. This MXRPY combines on-chain and off-chain execution to offer diverse earning opportunities to XRP holders. The involved companies plan to release a separate application in the future, enabling users to directly connect to MXRPY with their XRP Ledger wallets.
