Ripple is exploring the possibility of staking on the XRP ledger, which could potentially bring XRP to the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. However, it appears that Ripple has also introduced staking for other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum and Solana, for its custody clients. The status of native XRP staking remains uncertain, with some reports suggesting it is being considered, while others focus on staking for other cryptocurrencies.
