Flare said its FXRP token has been approved for use as collateral in Sentora’s RLUSD vault on Morpho Blue, extending XRP-linked exposure into an institutional lending setup on Ethereum mainnet. The change was announced on August 3, 2026, and creates a dedicated FXRP/RLUSD market within a vault that holds about $280 million in RLUSD.
The move gives XRP holders a way to borrow RLUSD without selling their underlying exposure. Flare described the approval as the first time a version of XRP has been accepted as collateral in an institutional lending vault on Ethereum mainnet.
How the new market works
Under the setup, users can mint FXRP through Flare’s FAssets system, move the asset to Ethereum using Stargate, and then use it as collateral on Morpho Blue. In return, they can borrow RLUSD while retaining price exposure to XRP.
The market is open at launch without a whitelist, according to the announcement. Flare also said a supply cap has been put in place initially, with that limit expected to be adjusted over time as liquidity develops.
Sentora’s review and market safeguards
Before adding FXRP to the vault, Sentora reviewed the asset across several areas, including market behavior, price oracles, liquidity, and liquidation design. Flare said FXRP will remain subject to the same ongoing monitoring framework used for other approved collateral assets.
The FXRP/RLUSD pair sits within Morpho Blue’s isolated market structure, which confines risk to that specific pool rather than spreading it across unrelated markets. The arrangement also gives the pair its own oracle configuration and liquidation settings.
Borrowing terms and risk considerations
As with other overcollateralized lending markets, borrowers must keep sufficient collateral in place to avoid liquidation. Interest costs are determined by market utilization, meaning borrowing rates can change depending on supply and demand inside the pool.
Those mechanics are central to how the new market will function in practice: XRP holders can access RLUSD liquidity without selling, but they still face the standard risks tied to collateral values, utilization-driven rates, and liquidation thresholds within the FXRP/RLUSD market.
What Flare is building next
Flare said it is developing Smart Accounts intended to let users complete the process directly from XRP Ledger wallets. The company is also working on direct FXRP transfers from the XRP Ledger to Ethereum.
Those planned changes point to the next confirmed stage of the integration. For now, the August 3 approval means FXRP is live as collateral in Sentora’s institutionally managed RLUSD vault, with the initial market launched on Morpho Blue and subject to a starting supply cap.
