BIGGEST XRP NEWS Since 2012? | Staking | Flare Deflationary Ripple engineers are openly discussing native XRP staking, governance upgrades, and on-chain DeFi capabilities — something the XRPL community has waited years to hear. If implemented, this could be the biggest shift since 2012, unlocking new utility, yield mechanics, and deeper network participation. At the same time, Flare Network just dropped a massive update: Hugo Philion revealed they're exploring ways to make FLR non-inflationary — or even deflationary. This could completely transform the tokenomics model and re-rate the entire ecosystem. Tonight we break down: • Ripple's staking discussion • Akinyele & Schwartz on governance + programmability • What staking would mean for XRP utility • How much supply could be locked up • Flare's path toward deflation • The broader impact on crypto markets This is one you don't want to miss.

Hy het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê dat sommige landdroste geweier het om by die aksie aan te sluit terwyl ander voortgaan, 'n gedrag wat hy as ongrondwetlik beskryf.
