Developer Kristaps Grinbergs said Flare has built the foundation for ripple-native finance after a transaction that, according to Hugo Philion, deployed 8 million XRP into Firelight in one move. The reported transfer points to institutional participation in infrastructure tied to FXRP (an XRP representation on Flare) and Firelight, a product within the Flare ecosystem.
