$XRP Yield was not always safe to trust.
I’ve seen it happen. One market move, and liquidity was gone. Rewards stopped. Users held risk they never agreed to.
That was old $XRP DeFi. Fast growth. Weak risk control. Big numbers until markets turned.
I’m watching Maple do it differently.
Instead of chasing quick yield, Maple built like institutions do: Overcollateralized loans. Active risk control. Full onchain transparency. No tricks. No hidden leverage.
That choice paid off.
In 2025, Maple reached $5B AUM and over $25M ARR. syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT expanded across chains. They integrated with Aave, Jupiter, Fluid, Spark, and Kamino.
Liquidity stayed strong. Yield stayed steady. Maple became real DeFi infrastructure.
My takeaway is simple: DeFi is not about growing fast. It’s about lasting through volatility and compounding over time.
I’m convinced Maple didn’t just grow in 2025. It set the standard for onchain asset management.
