Compare XORA vs major XRP yield venues

Picking where to keep your XRP is mostly about three things: yield, custody, and trust. Here is XORA against the main custodial, exchange, and DeFi alternatives, head to head.

XORA vs the alternatives, at a glance

XRP is not a proof-of-stake asset, so idle XRP earns nothing on its own. Any yield comes from lending it out, providing liquidity, or a custodial program. Here is how the main options compare on the three things that matter: custody, lock-up, and where the yield comes from.

Option	Custody	Lock-up	Where the yield comes from	Main trade-off
XORA	Custodial (XRPL treasury, per-account tag)	No fixed lock-up	Up to 22% APY value: 15% native XRP yield (treasury-subsidised during bootstrap) plus estimated XORA reward value	You trust XORA's custody; rates are variable and treasury-subsidised while the product bootstraps
Exchange “earn” programs	Custodial	Flexible or fixed-term, varies by platform	Exchange lending or staking programs; rates are tiered and vary	Custodial and counterparty risk; availability differs by region
DeFi (lending or AMM)	Self-custody	Usually none	On-chain lending or providing liquidity (for example the XRPL AMM)	Smart-contract and market risk; you manage keys and fees
Holding in a wallet	Self-custody	n/a	Nothing. XRP has no native staking	Zero yield; idle XRP just sits there
