XRP Price Shows Muted Reaction Amid Launch of EarnXRP Income Generation Vault
On December 23, 2025, Upshift, Clearstar, and Flare introduced earnXRP, a new vault product that allows XRP holders to generate yield without selling their XRP tokens. The earnXRP system works by depositing FXRP—Flare's 1:1 over-collateralized XRP ERC-20 representation—into a vault. Users then receive earnXRP receipt tokens reflecting their share and the accumulated XRP-denominated yield. The vault deploys capital across various strategies to generate returns, with yields paid out in XRP.
Upshift provides the decentralized finance (DeFi) earn vault tooling, while Clearstar focuses on designing institutional-grade DeFi vaults. Flare is a Layer 1 blockchain catering to highly data-intensive use cases. Ripple utilizes XRP primarily for cross-border transactions.
At the time of the announcement, XRP was priced at $1.8750, declining roughly 1.7% over the preceding 24 hours, aligning with movements in the broader cryptocurrency market. Notably, negative social sentiment around XRP, as tracked by Santiment, was highlighted as a potential contrarian indicator for a rebound, a phenomenon historically linked to price increases.
