The launch was announced by Flare Networks, which enabled the first FXRP/USDC spot trading pair on the exchange. Until now, the decentralized exchange only supported XRP-perpetual futures, which allow traders to speculate on price without owning the asset.

This new listing changes that. Traders can now access actual XRPs exposure using FXRP, a 1:1 representation of XRPs. Hyperliquid runs on its own high-performance Layer-1 blockchain and has recorded over $185 million in trading volume in the past 24 hours, making it one of the most active onchain trading platforms.

How The Trading Exactly Works

FXRP is created using Flare’s FAssets system, which allows non-smart-contract assets to be used in DeFi. Real XRP is locked on its Ledger (XRPL), and FXRP is issued on FlareNetwork at a 1:1 ratio.

To move FXRP to Hyperliquid, Flare uses LayerZero’s omnichain token standard. This lets F-XRP move across blockchains without centralized custody. Traders can follow this flow:

• Lock XRPs on ledger and receive FXRPs on Flare

• Transfer FXRPs to Hyperliquid

• Trade FXRP/USDC on the exchange’s onchain orderbook

• Later move FXRPs back to Flare or convert it back to XRPs

A one-click bridge back to native XRPs is expected soon.

The platform has recorded over $185 million in trading volume in the past 24 hours across markets.

For this, market liquidity and pricing may vary as adoption of F-XRP spot trading develops.

How This Matters for XRP Traders and Institutions

According to Flare co-founder Hugo Philion, the goal is to expand XRP’s use across DeFi while keeping XRPL as the final settlement layer. Hyperliquid’s orderbook model offers tighter spreads and better execution than typical DeFi pools, which matters for larger investors. 

This launch allows XRP-holders to hedge futures positions, access deeper liquidity, and use XRPs in lending, staking, and other DeFi tools, without giving up ownership.
