About this episode

The episode discusses what XRP is missing in the context of evolving financial systems and the role of Flare in enhancing XRP's utility.

XRP was built to move value quickly, efficiently, and globally. But as the financial system moves toward tokenization, programmable liquidity, DeFi, and onchain finance, one question is becoming impossible to ignore: WHAT IS XRP STILL MISSING? Tonight, Flare takes center stage. Flare is working to extend XRP beyond payments and settlement—opening the door to programmable financial applications through FXRP, FAssets, Smart Accounts, and XRPFi while preserving the XRP Ledger as the underlying settlement and trust layer.
