Flare adds XRP as FAsset on Songbird, FLR Jumps 165% in 1 month

by

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the dynamic world of blockchain and cryptocurrency, I find this latest development by Flare particularly intriguing. The integration of XRP and other non-smart contract assets like BTC and DOGE into FAssets on the Songbird network is a bold move that could potentially revolutionize the DeFi ecosystem.

On its trial network, Songbird, the data-focused blockchain platform known as Flare, has preliminarily integrated XRP into its FAssets system prior to the mainnet’s official debut.

Assets, a novel creation by Flare, provides the ability to execute smart contract operations on blockchains such as XRP, Bitcoin, and Dogecoin, which currently lack this feature.

In simple terms, we’re first testing the connection method for this combination, known as the “bridge,” on Songbird. After successful deployment, FAssets will unlock a fresh opportunity for building robust apps, offering expanded functions to conventional cryptocurrency assets on the Flare mainnet.

The Flare team is confident that FAssets could revolutionize how cryptocurrencies such as XRP and BTC are employed within the DeFi landscape. By establishing a decentralized platform for minting, trading, and redeeming bridged assets, Flare aims to grant these tokens equivalent functionality to native smart-contract assets.

On Songbird, the team is encouraging adoption by providing a reward of $260,000 worth of rFLR. This incentive is designed to motivate both agents and participants in the collateral pool. The rewards can be earned through testing minting, redemption, and trading procedures.

These integrations are currently going through audits, with results expected by mid-December.

Flare Jumps 165% in past month

Over the past month, I’ve seen a significant surge – more than 165% – in the value of Flare’s native currency, FLR. Currently, it ranks as the 79th largest cryptocurrency, boasting a market capitalization of around $1.72 billion and a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of approximately $3.35 billion. As we eagerly await the launch of FAsset, I find myself optimistic about my investment in FLR.

As per Coinmarketcap’s data, Filecoin (FLR) is currently close to the $0.033 price level and has a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $45.16 million. The highest price ever recorded for FLR was $0.0797 on January 10, 2023.

If the debut of FAssets and the overall market conditions are beneficial, Filecoin (FLR) might retrace its past price increases and attempt to hit a fresh record high. The anticipated Crypto Spring is likely to trigger a massive rally for many lower- and mid-cap cryptocurrencies, with FLR being one of them.
