Flare Network has achieved a remarkable milestone, as over 43,000 users are now active o the native FLR token. This means that a significant number of individuals are using the Layer 1 blockchain to provide interoperability to decentralize finance. The achievement follows a series of strategic alliances and ecosystem advancements that position Flare as a vital infrastructure layer for cross-chain DeFi applications, particularly for assets like XRP that lack smart contract functionality.
Telegram Integration Opens Gateway to 100 Million Users
The increase of FLR holders aligns with Flare’s relationship with Telegram Wallet, which runs through November 2025. This partnership brings FLR to Telegram’s web-based wallet, revealing the token to more than 100 million registered users and is among the largest onboarding projects of Flare.
The project eliminates the common barriers to cryptocurrencies. Users will be able to deposit, withdraw and exchange FLR directly in Telegram, without paying any fee at the time of the promotion. Gamification activities, referral bonus and stakes with up to 50% APR are employed to encourage active participation of the ecosystem beyond just purchasing.
XRPFi Ecosystem Gains Institutional Momentum
While Telegram is accelerating retail usage, Flare is gaining institutional traction with its XRPFi infrastructure. Everything Blockchain Inc., a publicly traded company, just became the second institutional adopter after Nasdaq-listed VivoPower committed $100M.
The XRPFi framework will address the fundamental weakness of XRP, the absence of native smart contracts. The Flare FAssets mechanism allows XRP holders to acquire FXRP, a 1:1 backed representation, which functions in Flare ecosystem, which is compatible with EVM. This facilitates the accessibility of the highly limited DeFi functionality such as lending, borrowing, liquidity provisioning, and income generating of the vast holder base of XRP.
The statistics indicate actual adoption. Flare had issued 10.2 million rFLR reward tokens in September 2025, which is 34% higher than July of the previous year. These advantages are acquired using liquidity provisioning, lending and other value-generating activities.
Network has achieved more than $43M XRP and 15M FXRP is on transacting. Major protocols such as SparkDEX and BlazeSwap provide FXRP trading pairs, with some offering over 50% APR to USDT/FXRP liquidity providers.
Infrastructure Expansion and Security Enhancements
Furthermore, Flare has been gradually enhancing its technology infrastructures. The network has recently shifted to Avalanche 1.11.0 that enhances the performance of block processing and consensus processes. This is a required enhancement that should be in place by all the validators by August 2025 and which will increase the speed of the network and will put Flare in position to handle larger volumes of transactions as an increasing number of people will integrate it into their practice.
Flare is also collaborating with even more massive cross-chain assets. The technology of FAssets v1.2 that allows the minting of FXRP and other non-smart-contract tokens has been extensively audited by business organizations, such as Zellic and Coinspect. Hypernative is characterized by constant surveillance and fast-response features to address potential weaknesses before they are exploited.
TVL has surpassed 170 million, and this success can be attributed to the integration of USDT0, an Omnichain stablecoin using the Omnichain Fungible Token standard of LayerZero. This integration alone doubled TVL, which had increased approximately 37 million to more than 120 million dollars in two weeks, which illustrates how fast the ecosystem can grow, once new infrastructure is implemented.
Conclusion
Flare Network began an exponential period with the addition of more than 43,000 FLR holders due to the enabling of the Telegram network to 100 million users and institutional acceptance through XRPFi. Flare, which has $170 million TVL and is constructing DeFi infrastructure, is creating itself as a core interoperability infrastructure of cross-chain finance, particularly the non-smart-contract assets such as XRP, as well as XRP.
