XRP Ledger (XPRL) has recorded significant gains as the latest Total Volume Locked (TVL) figures show there has been a 10% increase. DeFiLlama data shows that XRPL currently stands at $103.67 million after climbing from just above $90 million.

Corporate adoption pushes XRPL TVL past $100 million

Notably, as of Sept. 1, 2025, XRPL’s TVL stood at $93.95 million. However, following increased adoption by corporate entities within the past 10 days, users have locked more liquidity in dApps on the XRPL.

For clarity, the Total Value Locked refers to the total value of an asset that is locked or staked in a specific protocol. Investors can gain insight into the performance of the protocol by viewing the TVL. The higher the TVL, the more successful the protocol.

XRPL’s current uptick suggests that investors — particularly institutional holders — are actively engaging the protocol. It also suggests that these corporate holders see XRPL as a reliable and low-cost blockchain for them in the crypto space.

Interestingly, the development team is taking steps to keep XRPL optimized to meet the growing adoption. As per a recent U.Today report, over the next couple of weeks, different amendment ideas will be floated for the community to decide upon.

XRP Ledger and upcoming upgrades

Meanwhile, as part of measures to upscale, keep XRPL safe and prevent loss of XRP and NFTs to scammers, a firewall feature is under development. According to insights shared by Vet, a dUNL validator on the XRPL, the XLS-86 Firewall could put scammers out of the ledger.

Notably, the firewall will allow users to determine from the settings some time-based and value-limited safeguards on their outgoing transactions. The aim is to prevent scammers from having unlimited access to drain accounts when compromised.

There are also talks about three new upgrades as soon as the community gives the green light through their votes.

Revolutionary unified margin protocol eliminates capital inefficiencies and enables portfolio-wide risk management

Project 0, the first DeFi-native prime broker, today announced its official launch on Solana. Serving as a trustless prime broker for decentralized finance, Project 0 addresses critical capital inefficiency issues that have long plagued the DeFi ecosystem while unlocking unprecedented composability across multiple venues.

Traditional DeFi lending protocols operate in isolation, requiring users to overcollateralize positions separately across each platform. This creates significant capital inefficiencies and prevents users from leveraging their complete portfolio when managing risk or seeking liquidity. Project 0 fundamentally changes this dynamic by unifying fragmented markets under a single portfolio management risk system.

MacBrennan Peet, Founder of Project 0, commented on the launch, “The crypto industry has a hyper fixation on reinventing existing, working applications; the Project 0 team is committed to pushing the industry forward. Today’s launch marks the first time users can borrow against their entire portfolio across venues like Kamino, Drift, and Jupiter, with unified margin. This eliminates the frustrating scenario where users get liquidated on one platform despite having offsetting positions elsewhere and fundamentally overhauls the DeFi trading experience.”

Project 0 serves two critical user segments: passive users seeking optimized yield and sophisticated traders managing complex portfolios. The protocol enables powerful new strategies, including:

• Credit against passive yield farmers’ entire, fragmented portfolio 
• Cross-platform cash and carry trades with unified risk management
• Capital-efficient hedged market making across multiple venues
• Multi-venue delta-neutral positions that prevent single-venue liquidations

Unlike traditional DeFi protocols that compete by launching their own trading products, Project 0 takes a fundamentally different approach. The platform will never launch native trading markets, instead focusing exclusively on unifying liquidity across existing, industry-leading protocols.

Peet continued, “Prime brokerage services are fundamental infrastructure in traditional finance, and as DeFi matures into a credible alternative to legacy finance and trading, it requires the same institutional-grade tools. Project 0 represents a critical evolution in DeFi infrastructure, for the first time we’re equipping DeFi traders with the same cross-platform portfolio management benefits that have long been enjoyed by hedge funds and institutional players, fundamentally leveling the playing field.”

Beyond individual user benefits, Project 0 is designed to improve overall market efficiency. By enabling liquidity flows across venues, the protocol aims to stabilize irrational rate and price dislocations, instead compressing rates to appropriate risk-adjusted levels across integrated platforms. With plans to expand cross-chain, the benefits of Project 0’s infrastructure are positioned to grow exponentially.

About Project 0

Project 0 is the first generalized, on-chain, permissionless, multi-venue unified margin protocol. As a DeFi-native trustless prime broker, Project 0 eliminates capital inefficiencies by enabling users to manage their entire DeFi portfolio with unified margin and risk management. The protocol integrates with leading DeFi platforms to provide sophisticated trading and yield strategies while maintaining the composability that makes decentralized finance powerful.

OnRe, the onchain asset manager delivering institutional-grade yield to DeFi, today launched OnRe Points, a rewards program designed to incentivize meaningful participation in the ONyc ecosystem. Unlike traditional liquidity mining, OnRe Points reward genuine capital efficiency by tracking how ONyc is actively deployed across DeFi protocols, strengthening its utility as Solana’s premier collateral asset.

Rewarding Capital Efficiency

OnRe points mark a shift from passive token farming to active ecosystem building. By rewarding ONyc’s deployment across DeFi protocols, the program creates a direct link between user activity and ecosystem growth.

“OnRe was built on a simple principle: capital should work as efficiently as possible,” said Dan Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO at OnRe. “ONyc is our foundation – a stable, yielding asset backed by reinsurance premiums and collateral interest. With OnRe Points, we’re rewarding users who put that capital to work in ways that reinforce the entire ecosystem.“

Multi-Tiered Rewards for DeFi Strategies

Points accrue daily with strategic multipliers that reward DeFi participation:

• Base Holding (1x): 1 point per ONyc per day for asset holders, providing baseline rewards while accessing real-world yield from reinsurance performance.
• Liquidity Provision (2x): Double rewards for providing ONyc liquidity on leading Solana DEXs including Kamino, Orca, and Raydium. LPs support deeper markets and tighter spreads, earning both multipliers and trading fees.
• Lending and Borrowing (3x): Triple rewards for supplying ONyc as collateral to lending protocols like Kamino and Loopscale. Advanced users deploying looping strategies receive multipliers that scale with leverage, rewarding capital efficiency through recursive deposits that boost yields while maintaining exposure to ONyc.
• Yield Trading (4x): Maximum rewards for providing liquidity and holding YT-ONyc on Exponent. YT (Yield Tokens) give LPs the ability to speculate on the future yield of the underlying asset.

Bonus campaigns will add extra rewards tied to social engagement, partnership launches, and community participation, giving users more ways to earn while driving deeper utility for ONyc.

Designed for the Future of DeFi

“This isn’t about short-term incentives,” added Ayyan Rahman, Co-Founder and CGO at OnRe. “We’re building a framework that tracks and incentivizes capital deployment that genuinely strengthens ONyc. The more users put ONyc to work across DeFi, the stronger the ecosystem becomes, and the more their rewards compound.”

The program’s transparent structure allows users to optimize strategies while contributing to ONyc’s growth. OnRe Points demonstrate how strategic capital deployment creates compounding benefits, ensuring participants who contribute most to ecosystem liquidity and utility are rewarded proportionally.

Immediate Availability

OnRe Points are live today across all supported strategies. Users can begin earning immediately, with real-time tracking in the Obre app showing ONyc positions, points, and onchain activity in one place. Participants can monitor their progress and adjust strategies as new opportunities emerge: https://app.onre.finance/.

The program underscores OnRe’s commitment to building sustainable DeFi infrastructure where genuine utility drives long-term value creation, ensuring early adopters capture maximum benefit from ONyc’s expanding ecosystem.

About OnRe

OnRe is a leading onchain asset manager using yield-bearing assets to underwrite reinsurance, bringing stable, institutional-grade returns to DeFi. By connecting the $750B global reinsurance market with blockchain technology, OnRe provides investors access to structured products designed to deliver consistent yield across market cycles, opening a market that has historically been out of reach. Its flagship product, ONyc, is a multi-collateral, yielding dollar asset backed by reinsurance premiums, a $1.2T market the team has underwritten for more than a decade. Liquid, scalable, and fully composable, ONyc delivers resilient, uncorrelated returns and is positioned to become the preferred collateral asset across all of DeFi.

Reflecting on the rapid evolution of the cryptocurrency landscape, Robbie Ferguson, co-founder of Immutable, recently highlighted a remarkable shift in a tweet dated September 11, 2025. He pointed out that just four years ago, crypto was often viewed with suspicion and treated almost as a criminal activity. Fast forward to today, and major gaming giant Ubisoft is actively offering web3 rewards, signaling a mainstream embrace of blockchain technology. Moreover, Ferguson alluded to impending legislation that could normalize such integrations, transforming them from rare exceptions to standard practices. This narrative underscores a pivotal moment for crypto adoption, particularly in the gaming sector, where web3 elements like NFTs and blockchain-based rewards are gaining traction. From a trading perspective, this development could catalyze significant movements in gaming-related cryptocurrencies, with tokens like IMX from Immutable potentially benefiting from increased institutional interest and retail enthusiasm.

Impact on Crypto Gaming Tokens and Market Sentiment

As traders analyze this shift, it’s essential to consider how Ubisoft’s foray into web3 rewards aligns with broader market trends. Ubisoft, a publicly traded company with stock symbol UBSFY, has been exploring blockchain integrations, which could bridge traditional gaming with decentralized ecosystems. According to reports from industry analysts, this move comes at a time when the global gaming market is projected to exceed $200 billion by 2025, with web3 components expected to capture a growing share. For crypto traders, this translates to potential upside in tokens associated with gaming platforms. For instance, IMX, the native token of Immutable X, has shown resilience in volatile markets, often correlating with news of mainstream adoptions. Traders should monitor support levels around $1.20 and resistance at $1.50, as positive sentiment from legislative progress could push volumes higher. Without real-time data, historical patterns suggest that announcements like these have led to 10-20% price surges in related assets within 24-48 hours, driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) among investors.

Legislative Catalysts and Trading Opportunities

Diving deeper into the legislative angle mentioned by Ferguson, upcoming bills aimed at clarifying crypto regulations could provide the regulatory clarity needed for widespread adoption. Sources indicate that frameworks similar to the EU’s MiCA or proposed US bills are on the horizon, potentially reducing barriers for companies like Ubisoft to integrate web3 features seamlessly. This could spark a rally in broader crypto indices, including ETH, which underpins many gaming NFTs, and BTC as the market bellwether. Traders might look for entry points in ETH pairs, where on-chain metrics show increasing transaction volumes in gaming dApps. For stock-crypto correlations, UBSFY’s performance often mirrors sentiment in gaming tokens; a rise in its share price could signal bullish crossovers into crypto. Institutional flows, as tracked by data from blockchain analytics firms, reveal growing investments in web3 gaming, with over $2 billion poured into the sector in 2024 alone. This creates trading opportunities in derivatives like futures contracts on platforms supporting IMX or SAND, where volatility can be leveraged for short-term gains.

From a risk management standpoint, while the optimism is palpable, traders should remain cautious of regulatory uncertainties. If legislation falls short of expectations, it could lead to pullbacks in gaming tokens, with IMX potentially testing lower supports at $1.00. Conversely, successful normalization of web3 rewards could drive long-term holding strategies, with analysts forecasting 50% upside in market cap for leading gaming cryptos by 2026. Integrating this with stock market dynamics, Ubisoft’s initiatives might influence tech-heavy indices like the NASDAQ, where crypto correlations have strengthened post-2024 bull runs. Overall, this evolution from crypto’s ‘criminal’ era to mainstream integration offers traders a narrative-driven opportunity to position portfolios accordingly, focusing on data-backed entries and exits.

In summary, Ferguson’s reflection serves as a reminder of crypto’s maturation, with Ubisoft’s web3 rewards and potential legislation poised to reshape trading landscapes. By emphasizing concrete metrics like price levels, volume spikes, and institutional inflows, traders can navigate this shift effectively, capitalizing on the intersection of gaming, blockchain, and regulatory progress for optimized returns.
