D’Cent Launches XRPfi Prime, Unlocking Yield in Self-Custody Wallet

The XRP ecosystem reached a new milestone this week. D’Cent, a well-known hardware wallet provider, launched XRPfi Prime in partnership with Doppler Finance. The service allows XRP holders to earn yield directly within their self-custody hardware wallets for the first time. This move brings together two ideas many crypto users value: the security of hardware wallets and the opportunity to earn fixed, predictable returns. With XRPfi Prime, users no longer need to choose between holding assets safely and putting them to work.

Bridging the Gap for XRP Holders

Unlike blockchains such as Ethereum or Solana, the XRP Ledger does not have a proof-of-stake system. This means XRP holders cannot earn passive income by staking tokens directly on the network. Doppler Finance addresses this gap by offering XRPfi, a set of yield strategies designed for XRP. These strategies use institutional-grade custody through partners like Ceffu and Fireblocks. By applying CeDeFi methods, they create consistent yield opportunities without relying on staking. Through D’Cent’s integration, this service is now available inside a hardware wallet. It allows users to manage, store, and earn on their XRP holdings without giving up control to centralized platforms.

How XRPfi Prime Works

The XRPfi Prime program offers fixed-rate returns that are fully guaranteed. Every user who joins earns 2.5% annualized interest, with their principal protected. To celebrate the launch, D’Cent has introduced a special Prime Boost Vault. Early users can earn an additional 5% APR for the first five weeks. It raise total returns to 7.5% during the promotional period. This extra reward is also guaranteed, providing strong incentives for early participation.

Two main vaults are available:

• Prime Boost Vault: A launch-only event offering up to 7.5% returns. Funds remain locked for three months after the vault closes, and withdrawals are not possible during this time. At maturity, funds automatically move into the Standard Vault.
  
• Standard Vault: A flexible option with a guaranteed 2.5% APR. Users can request withdrawals at any time, though funds are released after a 7-8 day redemption period.

Both vaults are capped at 1.5 million XRP in total deposits. But there is no individual user limit. Interest compounds automatically inside the vaults, so participants benefit from reinvested returns.

Restrictions and Availability

The service is not available everywhere. Countries under international sanctions, including the United States, China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and Syria, are excluded. Doppler Finance applies geo-fencing to ensure compliance, blocking deposits from these regions. Despite these restrictions, the launch marks an important step in expanding financial options for XRP holders in supported markets. By combining hardware wallet security with fixed-yield programs. XRPfi Prime aims to give users more control and reliability.

Why It Matters

Stable and predictable yield is often hard to find in the crypto market. Many DeFi programs promise high returns. But they carry risks tied to volatility, liquidity, or protocol security. XRPfi Prime takes a different path. By guaranteeing principal and interest, it removes uncertainty for participants. For the XRP community , this is especially significant. It brings yield opportunities to a network that has never had staking rewards. 

It also provides a way for XRP holders to earn passively. While keeping assets in their own custody. The partnership with Doppler Finance ensures that yield generation is backed by institutional-level custodians. Meanwhile, D’Cent’s hardware wallet integration means users maintain direct control of their funds, reducing counterparty risks.

A Step Forward for XRP

The launch of XRPfi Prime shows how innovation can bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain. It blends the predictability of fixed-income products with the decentralization of self-custody solutions. For everyday XRP holders, it creates new ways to put assets to work without sacrificing security. For the wider crypto industry, it highlights the trend toward combining DeFi opportunities with guaranteed returns and robust custody solutions. As D’Cent and Doppler Finance roll out this new service. The XRP Army gains access to something unique: self-custody with real yield. It may prove to be an early glimpse of how digital assets can evolve into reliable, income-generating tools for the future.
