Tundra XRP Staking Opens Dec 15 with 20% APY from Revenue
Tundra will launch XRP Staking via its Cryo Vault system on December 15, 2025. XRP holders can earn up to 20% APY from verifiable protocol revenue instead of token inflation. The platform uses a dual-token model: TUNDRA-S on Solana for execution and TUNDRA-X on the XRPL for governance and reserves. Cryo Vaults offer four tiers—Permafrost, Glacier, Polar and Blizzard—with varying lock-up periods and yield targets. Rewards derive from fees on swaps, lending, derivatives and NFT minting, ensuring sustainable reward distribution. All contracts are open-source, audited by Cyberscope, Solidproof and FreshCoins, and backed by a KYC-verified team. A live dashboard tracks revenue flows and APY in real time. Stakers connect a compatible wallet, choose a vault, deposit XRP, and monitor rewards with daily compounding. The Solana execution layer ensures low fees and fast transactions. Early retail allocations are available at $0.01 until the institution-approved window closes. As XRPL gains ETF inflows and ODL volume, Tundra’s XRP staking offers traders a new method to convert long-term XRP holdings into passive income.
Bullish
Tundra’s XRP staking launch is bullish for XRP and the XRPL ecosystem. Offering a 20% APY backed by real protocol revenue creates a strong incentive for holders to lock tokens, reducing circulating supply and applying upward pressure on price. Similar high-yield, transparent staking models in DeFi have historically attracted significant capital—Ethereum’s DeFi boom and PoS staking surges are examples. In the short term, traders may accumulate XRP to participate in staking, supporting demand. Over the long term, sustained adoption of staking tools and growing on-ledger activity can strengthen network fundamentals and investor confidence. Actual impact will depend on vault performance, revenue consistency and broader market conditions, but overall sentiment around XRP and related DeFi projects should improve.
