XRP Inflows Into Flare DeFi Reach 100 Million
XRP (XRP)

DailyCoin reports that more than 100 million XRP has moved into Flare Network’s bridging system. Wealth coach Kamilah Stevenson cites this figure as evidence that holders are using the token for lending, collateral, and yield strategies. She argues the inflow was purely organic, driven by individual users rather than institutional allocations.
Flare allows users to wrap XRP into FXRP for use in decentralized finance applications. According to Stevenson, demand grew enough to raise the system’s XRP capacity and approve XRP for collateral use. She stated that every unit of XRP moved into productive use is no longer sitting on an exchange waiting to be sold.
Stevenson disclosed she personally wrapped a small amount of XRP for use on Flare as an experiment. She cautioned that DeFi exposure carries risks like smart-contract failures and liquidation events. The report does not identify a precise date for the milestone or the on-chain source used.
It also does not specify how much of the bridged XRP remains actively deployed. This movement treats bridged XRP as supply effectively removed from immediately tradable exchange balances. The claim does not establish a price target or prove circulating supply has permanently tightened.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 26 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is trading at $1.42 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.9%, indicating a slight edge for buyers over the full day. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 51.1%, showing continued buying interest in the short term, while the 4-hour ratio of 48.4% suggests a brief dip in momentum. Volume delta data reveals a net inflow of $8,976,592 over 24 hours, contrasting with a net outflow of $553,241 in the last four hours. The volume delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume, so positive values indicate net buying pressure. This suggests that while recent hours saw some selling, the broader 24-hour trend remains net positive. Spot volume for the period reached $238,596,035 across 1,648,472 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What XRP did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 48.9%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 51.9% an improvement of 3.0 percentage points. However, spot volume today was only 0.51 times the weekly average, indicating significantly lower participation than usual. The coin saw a 28.7% price increase over eight days, yet the total volume delta for that period was -$61,148,055. This divergence suggests that price gains occurred despite a net outflow of capital over the week. Only zero of the seven days recorded net buying, highlighting that this is an unusual day for accumulation relative to the recent trend.
