John Deaton, a well-known crypto attorney who has been helping XRP holders during Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC, has shared his thoughts on VivoPower’s big $100 million XRP yield initiative, which is getting a lot of attention.
In a short-but-to-the-point social media post, Deaton replied with just one word to a comment comparing XRP to commercial real estate and Flare to a rent-paying tenant.

This analogy makes the new partnership look like an improvement on XRP holdings. It follows news of VivoPower’s strategic move to actively deploy XRP in institutional-grade yield generation through the Flare network.
This is the first time XRP has been used as an institutional treasury asset. It is not just being held, but it is also earning money through Flare’s FAssets system. This creates a cycle where the yield gets put right back into XRP, which increases the value over time.
$100 million XRP plan
VivoPower, a company that is listed on the Nasdaq, said it was the foundation of its shift toward an XRP-focused treasury model. The plan is backed by a group of global investors, including Saudi royalty and former Ripple leadership in Asia.
The company also plans to hold Ripple’s upcoming RLUSD stablecoin as its primary reserve asset.

Deaton’s comment, though short, shows what a lot of people in the XRP community see as long-overdue institutional validation. For a long time, XRP supporters have said that the asset’s speed, efficiency and clarity about regulations make it perfect for business use.
Now, with a public company moving to integrate XRP into its balance sheet strategy, that thesis seems to be gaining traction.
