Flare Sees $120M FXRP Surge as Teucrium Submits ETF Filing to SEC

• Teucrium has filed with the SEC to launch a Flare Network ETF in the US.
• FXRP minting has crossed $120 million since its September 2025 debut.
• Flare Network’s total value locked has surged by 38% in one month.
• The FLR token fell 38% despite an increase in the usage of FXRP in DeFi protocols.

Flare Network is experiencing strong growth as XRP holders increasingly move into decentralized finance. Teucrium Trading LLC has officially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a new Flare ETF. The filing comes as activity on the network reaches record levels, with over $120 million worth of XRP now minted as FXRP. The momentum follows high user demand for tokenized assets and yield opportunities within the Flare ecosystem.

ETF Filing Comes Amid High Network Growth

Teucrium Trading LLC has applied to the SEC to launch a Flare ETF. The move was confirmed by Flare Networks co-founder Hugo Philion through a recent post on X (formerly Twitter). While the SEC has yet to release any formal comments or approval timeline, the filing signals Teucrium’s continued expansion in blockchain-based investment products.

Teucrium previously introduced the first leveraged XRP ETF in the United States. The proposed Flare ETF aims to give institutional and retail investors exposure to the growing Flare ecosystem. The filing coincides with a rise in on-chain activity, as Flare gains adoption through tokenization and staking services.

FXRP Minting Passes $120 Million

Since the launch of the FXRP minting mechanism in September 2025, more than $120 million worth of XRP has been converted into FXRP. The FXRP token is a wrapped version of XRP that allows users to access decentralized finance protocols on Flare’s EVM-compatible network.

FXRP is created through the FAssets system. It enables users to lock up their XRP and mint ERC-20 tokens of equivalent value. These tokens can then be used across DeFi platforms for lending, liquidity farming, and other financial services. This process has allowed XRP holders to shift assets into on-chain strategies while retaining exposure to the original token.

The minting process is supported by smart contracts and oracles to ensure value and price alignment between XRP and FXRP. Messari research reported that the initial FXRP cap of 5 million tokens was filled within hours. The following 15 million limit was also reached quickly, reflecting strong user interest.

Total Value Locked Rises Across Flare Ecosystem

Flare’s total value locked (TVL) has grown by 38% in just over a month, according to recent on-chain data. The rise in TVL reflects increased participation from XRP holders seeking to interact with DeFi products. Liquidity migration into Flare is now supporting a wide range of services, including stablecoin yield farms, lending pools, and derivatives.

FXRP is currently the largest asset within the Flare ecosystem. SparkDEX has also relaunched FXRP-based perpetual trading, further expanding utility for the wrapped asset. However, demand for the native FLR token has not matched this growth. FLR has dropped nearly 38% over the past month, trading around $0.016.

The FXRP system provides options for users to earn yields in stablecoins or XRP-backed tokens, which may explain lower demand for FLR. Analysts note that users prefer yield generation tools that minimize volatility while maintaining XRP exposure.

Infrastructure and Adoption Drive Ecosystem Development

Flare has positioned itself as the main EVM-compatible DeFi platform built around the XRP community. Its infrastructure includes tools such as the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) and Flare Data Connector (FDC). These components help deliver accurate price feeds and support token bridging from non-smart contract blockchains.

The FTSO and FDC systems allow assets like XRP to be used in DeFi without needing native smart contract functionality. These tools have also attracted new projects and developers to the Flare ecosystem, contributing to network expansion and more diverse token usage.

As ETF discussions move forward, the adoption of FXRP and overall Flare usage will likely continue to influence investor interest and regulatory attention.
