Nevertheless, the owners of XRP have been asked to remain vigilant for the beta release in order to test the feature. Flare Network publicly confirmed the partnership and said: “With FAssets preparing for mainnet launch, this collaboration paves the way for XRPFi, bringing utility & DeFi access to Uphold’s active XRP community.” Uphold’s support for XRP has held steady even under the uncertainty…
