VC Fund Advisor Said XRP Was Worth Nothing, but I Was Determined to Bring DeFi to XRP — Flare Founder
XRP ecosystem builder Hugo Philion recently revealed one of the harshest moments during Flare’s early development.

He said a venture capital fund advisor dismissed both XRP and the idea of DeFi on the network.

Philion disclosed that during a call with a VC fund, where crypto influencer Ran Neuner served as an advisor, he endured lengthy criticism about XRP’s future prospects.

According to Philion, the advisor argued for “15–20 minutes” that XRP “was worth nothing,” that building DeFi infrastructure for XRP was “a pointless pursuit,” and that Flare “would never work.”

However, Philion said the criticism had the opposite effect. It strengthened his determination to push forward with XRP-focused DeFi development.

Key Points

A VC advisor said XRP was “worth nothing” and DeFi on it would fail, but Philion doubled down on building anyway.

Neuner and Scott Melker mocked XRP; community reacted, saying critics still miss what the XRP ecosystem is building.

Flare’s FXRP and Firelight expand XRP DeFi, enabling staking, lending, borrowing, and yield generation use cases.

Over 100M XRP minted as FXRP, TVL tops 156M; an 8M FXRP institutional stake signals growing adoption momentum.

HTX Pizza Day Celebration: $200,000 Up for Grabs

The U.S. dollar declined in thin holiday trading conditions as market liquidity remained low and investors stayed cautious 

With reduced participation due to the holiday session, price movements were more sensitive to smaller flows, leading to a softer dollar performance across major currencies. Traders are now watching upcoming economic data for clearer direction in the next sessions.

Stay tuned for more forex and macro market updates

The reported deal terms explain the move. The draft framework would extend the ceasefire, reopen Hormuz, allow Iran to sell oil, and begin negotiations over curbing Iran's nuclear program.

A similar outline described a gradual reopening of the waterway, sanctions waivers for oil sales, and unresolved details around enrichment and nuclear material.

For Bitcoin, the oil channel is central to the trade. The asset has spent much of the Iran war period behaving like a liquidity-sensitive risk asset, under pressure from higher energy costs and tighter Fed pricing.

A credible reduction in the oil shock can support crypto by lowering the probability that policymakers need to keep

Today, a Treasury auction that prices 20 basis points above expectations can move BTC faster than any on-chain development. As CryptoSlate noted in late April, Bitcoin's recovery rests on renewed institutional inflows and the assumption that liquidity conditions won't tighten again. And if Treasuries choose a direction before that assumption is tested, the bond market could drive Bitcoin's next move independently of any crypto-specific catalyst.

Strategy adds another layer of complexity here. JPMorgan estimated in early May that Strategy could purchase roughly $30 billion in Bitcoin through 2026 if it maintains its current purchasing pace, a figure that would put it alongside ETF flows and miner supply as one of the

Across a longer horizon, though, the fiscal conditions producing those yields, deficits projected to increase from 5.8% of GDP in 2026 to 6.7% in 2036, with net interest payments growing each year in relation to the size of the economy, are precisely the conditions that make a hard-money, fixed-supply asset like Bitcoin compelling to a growing class of institutional holders.

For years, crypto markets obsessed over the Federal Reserve, watching rate decisions and dot plots as the primary macro input. What 2026 is making clear is that the Fed's room to maneuver is increasingly constrained by a bond market pricing in something more durable than a temporary inflation spike.

Volatility is the main issueAmbitions are higher Advertisement One of the most significant macroeconomic weeks of the month is approaching for both Bitcoin and the larger cryptocurrency market, with multiple U.S. economic reports that can cause risk-related asset volatility. The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data for April, will be released on Thursday, making it the biggest event. Volatility is the main issueHowever, the market setup is not limited to PCE. This week includes U.S. consumer confidence data on Tuesday, followed on Thursday by Q1 2026 GDP and April new home sales figures. Due to Memorial Day, Monday is comparatively quiet. As a result, liquidity may remain lower than usual early in the week before volatility increases dramatically around Thursday's releases.BTC/USDT Chart by TradingViewPCE serves as the primary catalyst for cryptocurrency traders. If inflation turns out to be higher than anticipated, markets might begin pricing in a more aggressive Federal Reserve position once more. As a result, speculative assets like Bitcoin and altcoins would probably be under pressure, and Treasury yields would probably rise.
