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
