- Controls first: Program design centers on qualified custody, segregated accounts, and Proof-of-Reserves (PoR).
- Enterprise validation: A public company adopting a control-heavy model signals maturation of XRPfi beyond headline APYs.

The announcement, in brief
VivoPower (NASDAQ: VVPR) has selected Doppler Finance to develop and operate institutional-grade XRP yield programs on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Under the partnership, VivoPower intends to allocate capital in stages (up to US$200M over time) into Doppler’s strategies that are designed around qualified custody, segregation of accounts, policy-based risk controls, and transparent reserve verification.
Why this matters
Ripple’s XRPL doesn’t have native staking, so the sustainable path to yield is the boring one done well: qualified custody, true segregation, hard risk limits, and proof-of-reserves. A public company (VVPR) choosing that stack isn’t chasing headlines; it’s building something an auditor can sign off on. The takeaway for DATs is simple: treat yield as the outcome of controls, not the goal itself.
Standardize custody, codify limits, wire up real-time reserve verification, and set a reporting cadence. Do that, and XRPfi stops being a slogan and becomes an operating system your finance and compliance teams can actually run.
For partners (custodians, wallets, CEXs, platforms)
Doppler’s API/SDK provides plug-and-play integration for XRPL yield programs available for the safest integrations on XRP yields. If you’re exploring XRPL yield for your users under qualified custody and audit-ready controls, our team can share reference architectures and test environments.
Key quotes
Kevin Chin, Executive Chairman & CEO of VivoPower, said: “We are very pleased to have entered this partnership with Doppler Finance, which has rapidly become a leader in the South Korean XRP ecosystem. By harnessing Doppler Finance’s programmable infrastructure, we can put dormant reserves to work in the future while retaining XRP as our cornerstone treasury asset. With an estimated 20% of circulating supply totaling $30 billion of XRP held in South Korea, it is strategically a very important market for our overall digital asset treasury and decentralized finance solutions strategy. The partnership with Doppler Finance also provides a platform for us to participate and contribute to the growth of the ecosystem in South Korea, particularly in areas such as payment remittances via stablecoins, real world asset tokenization and de-fi lending”
Rox, Head of Korea at Doppler Finance, said: “We’re excited to support VivoPower’s treasury strategy. Our platform is designed for safety and scale—qualified custody, segregation, policy controls, continuous solvency monitoring, and real-time proof-of-reserves. We look forward to helping VivoPower pursue yield objectives across XRP today and, over time, RLUSD as the ecosystem matures.”
Outlook
We’re treating this partnership like any other piece of critical finance infrastructure: design it well, prove it in small steps, then scale with discipline.
Over the next 90 days. We’ll button up the joint program memo with VivoPower, governance, segregation model, risk limits, and reporting cadence, and run end-to-end readiness tests with small pilot tranches. Custody workflows and reconciliation playbooks will be stood up and rehearsed. We’ll also publish the public-facing bits that matter to stakeholders: a clear PoR endpoint, uptime targets, and a simple status page so anyone can see how the system is behaving.
For other digital-asset treasuries. If you’re exploring a similar path, the pattern is straightforward: start with segregated qualified custody, codify exposure limits that actually bite, wire up PoR, and set a reporting cadence your auditors will accept. Treat yield as the outcome of that system, not the goal. If a compare-notes session would help, we’re happy to share a redacted risk policy, a reconciliation checklist, and the metrics pack we use in reviews.
