Key Takeaways
CryptoSlate reports that XRP holders have borrowed about $7.2 million in RLUSD against FXRP via a live Morpho market, though three addresses control 93% of the debt.
According to CryptoSlate, XRP is beginning to support live dollar borrowing on Ethereum through a Morpho market backed by FXRP, a tokenized representation of XRP. As of Oct. 1, roughly $7.2 million in RLUSD has been borrowed against FXRP. However, activity is heavily concentrated, with three addresses controlling 93% of the debt. Sentora supplied nearly all of the available liquidity.
While this introduces a new credit use case, the heavy concentration means a single large repayment or new loan can sharply alter the market. Lenders can liquidate positions if debt exceeds 77% of collateral, though the largest borrowers maintain significant buffers against price declines. Meanwhile, developers are preparing to bring fixed-term lending directly onto the XRP Ledger, pending security reviews and validator approval, which could remove the need to bridge FXRP to Ethereum.
CryptoSlate notes that rising loan volumes may come from existing holders rather than generating new XRP demand. Broader adoption will depend on whether native lending or future market activity spreads debt across a larger base of participants.
