Experts highlighted the dangers of 'custodial DeFi' for XRP and called for new approaches in financial technology.

XRPL Innovators Sound the Alarm

Among the voices raising concerns is @Vet_X0, founder of an XRPL-based NFT marketplace and operator of a dUNL validating node. He stressed that XRP holders should avoid 'custodial DeFi'.

We can't put our XRP in custodial XRPL DeFi hyped by influencers. Instead... Our purpose is to reinvent the foundation on which global finance is built.Vet

Concerns from Flare Founder

Hugo Philion, CEO of Flare, agreed with @Vet_X0, emphasizing that projects in the XRP ecosystem might be too centralized. He noted that some of these projects are essentially 'Celsius 2.0'.

Some of the projects I’m seeing launch around XRP are taking immense shortcuts. If the protocol you are using isn’t built with decentralization, it’s essentially Celsius 2.0

Future for XRPL DeFi

The XRPL ecosystem is actively developing with smart contracts and oracles, facilitating DeFi growth on the platform. This opens new opportunities for innovations in financial technology.

The XRPL community and experts continue to discuss new approaches to decentralization, emphasizing the importance of sustainable technology development.
