The Future of DeFi

In this issue, we focus on the latest community updates, as well as the future of Decentralized Finance.

What's inside

This edition dives into Decentralized Finance and the future it can unlock on the XRP Ledger. Why is 2025 shaping up to be a turning point—not the beginning? How are stablecoins, real-world assets, and permissioned infrastructure beginning to converge? And as institutions quietly move toward on-chain rails, who is building the foundations—and how can these innovations be applied across the XRPL ecosystem?

More than a trends report, this edition is a map—written by builders, product owners, and contributors with real skin in the game.

Alongside our feature focus, you’ll find a diverse mix of thought leadership, technical updates, and interviews with leading community experts, highlighting the latest developments across the ecosystem. Gain perspectives from contributors like Evernorth, Axiom, CryptoQueen, Krippenreiter, and many others as they explore key questions shaping the XRPL community.
