In this blog post, Coreum developers reveal the mainnet launch date of Coreum Layer-1 Blockchain and details on a new round of community airdrops for the CORE, SOLO and XRP holders.

Since its announcement in Dec 2021, Coreum Blockchain has gained tremendous global attention by introducing a new standard for enterprise use cases, such as ISO20022 compliance and Smart Tokens. Learn more about Coreum technologies here.

Coreum’s open-source project is 100% community-owned and is built by developers with a passion for making a more advanced, secure and fast blockchain for any size of the enterprise.

Mainnet Launch, Staking, Partnerships and VC Fundraising Round

Mainnet Launch Date: The highly anticipated mainnet launch of the Coreum Blockchain will take place on the 24th of March 2023 at around 04:00 AM UTC.

Staking: Once the mainnet is live, participants will have a unique opportunity to start staking their CORE tokens on the Coreum Blockchain. It’s forecasted the early stakers benefit from APRs as high as 40% initially while the total supply is moving from XRPL to Coreum blockchain.

Partnerships and Exchange Listings: The Growth and Partnership teams at Coreum have been working hard behind the scenes to bring more value to the Coreum ecosystem. Right after the mainnet launch, we will announce many exciting partnerships like various institutional validators, wallet integrations and Tier-1 exchange listings.

VC Fundraising: Since its inception, the Core team’s principle was to develop an open-source technology that is 100% community based without public token sale (IEO, ICO or IDO), which has traditionally been a common practice among most blockchain projects. Coreum will launch its first fundraising round in Q1 2023 for reputable VCs and Institutional accredited investors.

CORE and xCORE Airdrops

Coreum has been a 100% community-based project and will always remain the same. Community and technology are the main backbones of any blockchain project, and the success and future adoption of its technology depend directly on both factors. Within the past 18 months, we’ve been working around the clock on the research and development of Coreum technology. As we’re getting closer to the mainnet launch, it’s a suitable time to expand the Coreum community, increase its reach within the crypto space and make the ecosystem truly decentralized by airdropping the majority of the supply to the community.

To engage more crypto communities to participate in the Coreum ecosystem, the Core Team has decided to unlock and conduct an airdrop of 100,000,000 CORE tokens to the CORE holders and 50M xCORE token (Option Tokens with a Strike Option Price of $10) to both SOLO and XRP holders.

What’s the Airdrop Ratio of CORE and xCORE?

A total of 100,000,000 CORE tokens will be distributed to those accounts that hold CORE, and a total of 50,000,000 xCORE tokens will be distributed to the wallets that hold SOLO and/or XRP at the time of the snapshot.

The following ratio will be applied to the distribution:

CORE holders*: 100% of the total CORE Airdrop amount (100M CORE tokens)

*Please note that a TrustLine to the Coreum Gateway must be in place for the account to be eligible for the airdrop.

XRP holders*: 50% of the total xCORE airdrop amount (25M xCORE tokens)

SOLO holders*: 50% of the total xCORE airdrop amount (25M xCORE tokens)

*Please note that a TrustLine to the xCORE Gateway must be in place for the account to be eligible for the airdrop.

The Airdrop amount, snapshot and distribution schedule

Example For CORE Airdrop Ratio Calculation: Let’s assume the final amount of CORE, which is qualified for the CORE airdrop at the time of the snapshot, is as follows:

CORE: 50,000,000

Then the number of CORE Airdrops for the holders of the CORE will be calculated and deposited as below:

CORE Holders Ratio:

100,000,000 ÷ 50,000,000 = 2 CORE* per each CORE Holding

(Total CORE Airdrop Amount) ÷ (Total Participation amount) = CORE Airdrop Ratio

*The final ratio calculation of the CORE airdrop is subject to the total number of CORE holdings participating in the airdrop. It will be calculated and announced officially post-snapshot date.

Example For xCORE Airdrop Ratio Calculation: Let’s assume the final amount of SOLO and/or XRP, which are qualified for the xCORE airdrop at the time of the snapshot, are as follows:

SOLO: 100,000,000

XRP: 1,000,000,000

Then the number of CORE Airdrops for the holders of the CORE will be calculated and deposited as below:

SOLO Holders Ratio:

(50,000,000 ÷ 2) ÷ 100,000,000 = 0.25 xCORE* per each SOLO Holding

(50% of Total xCORE Airdrop Amount) ÷ (Total Participation amount) = xCORE Airdrop Ratio

XRP Holders Ratio:

(50,000,000 ÷ 2) ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 0.025 xCORE* per each XRP Holding

(50% of Total xCORE Airdrop Amount) ÷ (Total Participation amount) = xCORE Airdrop Ratio

*The final ratio calculation of the xCORE airdrop is subject to the total number of XRP and/or SOLO holdings participating in the airdrop. It will be calculated and announced officially post-snapshot date.

What’s xCORE? How does the Redemption work?

To further incentivize the community and avoid immediate pressure on the CORE market after the airdrop distribution, the Core team is issuing 50M xCORE tokens (at a value of $500M USD) to be airdropped exclusively to the SOLO and XRP communities.

xCORE is an Option Token that can be exchanged for CORE tokens if the CORE price reaches and stays above $10.00 for 240 consecutive hours (10 days) or expires on March 24th, 2025, 04:00 AM UTC.

After its expiry, regardless of the price, holders of xCORE are eligible to exchange 1:1* to CORE tokens via a smart contract on the Coreum Blockchain.

*1 xCORE is always fully backed by 1 CORE and held in a smart contract on the Coreum Blockchain until redemption takes place. xCORE is interoperable with XRPL and Coreum Blockchain and can be bridged for redemption.

In a nutshell, if you hold XRP or SOLO at the time of the snapshot, you will receive* xCORE tokens, which can be exchanged for CORE tokens, given the price of CORE goes above $10. If it does not, you will receive 1 CORE regardless of the price after 2 years.

*To receive the xCORE token, you must issue a TrustLine to the xCORE gateway mentioned in this article. Scroll down to the end of this article and learn how to set up your Trustline.

Type: Token Option

Symbol: XCORE

Strike Price: $10 USD — Remains above the strike price for 240 hours (10 days)

Expiry: March 24th, 2025 04:00 AM UTC

Backed by: CORE (1 XCORE = 1 CORE)

XRPL Issuing Address: r3dVizzUAS3U29WKaaSALqkieytA2LCoRe

Coreum Smart Contract Redemption Address: TBA after mainnet launch

When will the Snapshot be taken?

Snapshot Date/Time: March 24th, 2023, 04:00 AM UTC.

When will the CORE and xCORE Airdrops be Distributed?

CORE airdrop distribution to the CORE holders will take place in 4 equal instalments with 60 days buffer time in-betweens, and the xCORE will be distributed in one instalment to the XRP and/or SOLO holders as follows:

CORE Distribution (For CORE Holders)

Distribution 1: 1st Apr 2023

Distribution 2: 1st Jun 2023

Distribution 3: 1st Aug 2023

Distribution 4: 1st Nov 2023

xCORE Distribution (For XRP and/or SOLO Holders)

The xCORE airdrop distribution to the SOLO and XRP holders will take place on 15th May 2023.

Why is the SOLO community included in this Airdrop?

The Coreum idea was developed by the Sologenic development foundation and backed by the SOLO community. It’s time to make the bond between both SOLO and CORE communities even stronger than before.

The Sologenic team never stops!

We continue to develop new use cases and innovative ideas within the Sologenic ecosystem on both XRP Ledger and Coreum Blockchain. The most compelling use case is the tokenized assets trading platform which is planned to go live as a pilot program in specific jurisdictions in 2023.

Sologenic will also integrate with the Coreum networks so users can hold and trade fungible and non-fungible assets on both Coreum and XRP Ledger. In Q1 2023, SOLO Cards and Sologenic IDO launchpad will also go live.

Why is the XRP community included in this Airdrop?

Coreum was built out of a necessity by the Sologenic Tokenization Platform, and the XRPL has been a key to this journey. The XRP Ledger inspired many aspects of the Coreum Blockchain, and we would like to keep the two blockchains side-by-side that complete one another and remain interoperable.

For this reason, the first asset other than IBC-based assets that will be bridged to the Coreum Blockchain is the XRP and other tokenized assets on the XRPL.

This interoperability allows these assets to fully utilize the power of the Coreum Blockchain and create more use cases by using Smart Contracts and Smart Tokens. In addition, by design, these assets will flow into the Cosmos-based chains through IBC.

This will unlock many new opportunities for XRP, such as DeFi and innovative smart contracts-based d’Apps.

What wallets will be excluded?

All the wallets belonging to the foundation and teams at Coreum and Sologenic will be excluded from the airdrop, and any exchange or custodial company’s wallets will not release an official announcement to support the airdrop to their users. The team at Coreum would like to ensure the airdrop will go directly to the communities.

What’s next for COREUM?

The Core development team is constantly working on adding more features to the Coreum blockchain as well as monitoring and securing the network. After the mainnet launch, the team will focus on expanding the functionalities of Smart Tokens by adding more native features and support for different use cases. In the second development phase, the Core team will start developing the built-in full order-book DEX on the Coruem Blockchain. This allows all issued smart tokens on the chain to be seamlessly traded.

In addition, Coreum is anticipated to become the “Hub” for blockchain developers, allowing tokens to be issued on Coreum and flow through the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) supported chains.

How to set up Trustlines?

"The World Order That We Are Coming Into"

If XRP is the neutral bridge for all sovereign currencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets, then it’s not just facilitating payments, it’s capturing all that value at every level. From smart contracts to tokenized treasuries and digitized assets, XRP forms the foundation and backbone for everything in between.

With cross-border payments representing a multi-trillion-dollar corridor, that’s where the largest capital will flow and the greatest returns will come from.

At this point, you’re the gatekeeper to the digital economy. Everything else follows or fades away once regulations take effect.

You either see it or you won’t until it’s too late.

📚 How to Liquid Stake XPRT and Add Liquidity to stkXPRT/XPRT Pool on Persistence DEX 📚

Dinarian Note: The tutorial shows you how to turn your XPRT into Liquid staked stkXPRT, which can then on top of being staked earn you extra yield via the pools on the Persistence DEX. Note: I put a list of the current pools available below. Check out the APR% on these 😉 This is what makes Defi so attractive to investors. Putting your money to work 101. Instead of just staking your XPRT for 16%, you can put it in a pool and make upwards of 50% or more. Note: These values constantly fluctuate. Even if you don't want to partake in this, it's good practice and extremely good to know! This will be invaluable once your a multi-millionaire, unless you plan on keeping your funds in a criminal run BANK! 🤣

Dubai regulator VARA classifies RWA issuance as licensed activity
Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) leads global regulatory framework - makes RWA issuance licensed activity in Dubai.

Real-world assets (RWAs) issuance is now licensed activity in Dubai.

~ Actual law.
~ Not a legal gray zone.
~ Not a whitepaper fantasy.

RWA issuance and listing on secondary markets is defined under binding crypto regulation.

It’s execution by Dubai.

Irina Heaver explained:

“RWA issuance is no longer theoretical. It’s now a regulatory reality.”

VARA defined:

- RWAs are classified as Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs)

- Secondary market trading is permitted under VARA license

- Issuers need capital, audits, and legal disclosures

- Regulated broker-dealers and exchanges can now onboard and trade them

This closes the gap that killed STOs in 2018.

No more tokenization without venues.
No more assets without liquidity.

UAE is doing what Switzerland, Singapore, and Europe still haven’t:

Creating enforceable frameworks for RWA tokenization that actually work.

Matthew White, CEO of VARA, said it perfectly:

“Tokenization will redefine global finance in 2025.”

He’s not exaggerating.

$500B+ market predicted next year.

And the UAE just gave it legal rails.

~Real estate.
~Private credit.
~Shariah-compliant products.

Everything is in play.

This is how you turn hype into infrastructure.

What Dubai is doing now is 3 years ahead of everyone else.

Founders, investors, ecosystem builders:

You want to build real-world assets onchain.

Don’t waste another year waiting for clarity.

Come to Dubai.

It’s already here.

🎬Proof the Deep State Planned This War for Years🎬
Nation First outlines how the Israeli attack on Iran was planned by the Deep State and the Military Industrial Complex over 15 years ago.

Prepare to have your mind blown

~Namasté 🙏 Crypto Michael ⚡ The Dinarian

Dear friend,

What just happened in Iran wasn’t a surprise attack. It wasn’t a last-minute decision. It wasn’t even Israel acting alone.

It was a war plan written years ago — by men in suits, sitting in think tanks in Washington and New York. And yesterday, that plan was finally put into action.

Here’s the truth they don’t want you to know: this war was cooked up long before Trump ever became President — and it was designed to happen exactly this way.

Let’s start with what just happened.

Israel launched a massive, unexpected strike on Iran. They hit nuclear facilities. They killed military generals. They struck deep inside Iranian territory — and now the whole region is on edge, ready to explode into full-blown war.

The media is acting shocked. But I’m not. You shouldn’t be either.

Why?

Because we have the documents. They told us this was coming. Years ago.

Exhibit A: The Brookings Institution.

The Brooking Institution is a fancy name for what’s basically a war-planning factory dressed up as a research centre. Back in 2009, Brookings published a report called Which Path to Persia?

It laid out exactly how to get the U.S. into a war with Iran — without looking like the bad guy.

Here’s the sickest part:

“The United States would encourage — and perhaps even assist — the Israelis in conducting the strikes… in the expectation that both international criticism and Iranian retaliation would be deflected away from the United States and onto Israel.”

Let that sink in.

They literally suggested using Israel to start the war, so America could stand back and say, “Wasn’t us!”

They even titled a chapter of this report: “Leave It to Bibi” — naming Netanyahu as the guy to light the match.

Exhibit B: The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

The Council on Foreign Relations is an another Deep State operation. Also in 2009, CFR published a “contingency memothat laid out the whole military plan for an Israeli strike on Iran — step by step.

  • What routes the jets would fly (over Jordan and Iraq).

  • What bombs they’d use (the biggest bunker-busters in the U.S. arsenal).

  • Which Iranian sites to hit (Natanz, Arak, Esfahan).

  • And how Iran might respond (missiles, drones, threats to U.S. bases).

It’s like they had a time machine. Because those exact strikes just happened following the routes, likely using the bombs and hitting the sites that the CFR outlined.

Exhibit C: The Plot to Attack Iran by Dan Kovalik.

This one really blows the lid off.

US human rights lawyer and journalist Dan Kovalik, in his book The Plot to Attack Iran: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Iran, shows how the CIA and Israel’s Mossad have been working together for decades — not just watching Iran, but actively sabotaging it. Killing scientists. Running cyberattacks. Feeding lies to the media to make Iran look like it’s always “six months away” from building a nuke.

He even reveals how they discussed false flag attacks — faking an Iranian strike to justify going to war. That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s documented strategy.

And here’s where President Trump comes in.

Unlike the warmongers who wrote these plans, Trump wasn’t looking to bomb Iran. He wanted to talk. Negotiate. Make a deal — like he did with North Korea.

In fact, peace talks with Iran were just days away.

But someone didn’t want peace. Someone wanted war.

So Israel went in — just like the Brookings script said — and lit the fuse.

Trump didn’t authorise it. He didn’t want it. But they gazumped him. They went around him. And now, the peace he was trying to build has been blown to bits.

This was never about Iran being a threat. It was about keeping the war machine fed.

Think tanks, defence contractors, foreign lobbies — they don’t profit from peace. They thrive on tension. On fear. On war.

And now, thanks to them, the world’s one step closer to the edge.

If you’ve never trusted the mainstream media, you’re right not to.

If you’ve ever suspected there’s a shadowy agenda behind every war, you’re not paranoid.

You’re paying attention.

Because the documents are real. The war was planned. And the bombs are falling — right on schedule.

Pray for Iran’s civilians.

Pray for the Israelis caught in the crossfire.

Pray for a President who still wants peace.

And pray that we wake up before it’s too late.

Because the war has started.

But the truth has just begun to spread.

Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.

Take care,

George Christensen

The Possible Impact Of USDC On The XRP Ledger And RLUSD
Key Points
  • It seems likely that USDC on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) boosts liquidity, benefiting XRP, though some see it as competition for RLUSD.
  • Research suggests both stablecoins can coexist, enhancing the XRPL ecosystem.
  • The evidence leans toward increased network activity being good for XRP, despite potential competition.

The recent launch of USDC on the XRP Ledger has sparked discussions about its impact on the ecosystem, particularly in relation to RLUSD, Ripple's own stablecoin. This response explores whether this development is more about competition for RLUSD or if it enhances liquidity on the XRPL, ultimately benefiting XRP.
 

Impact on Liquidity and XRP

The introduction of USDC, a major stablecoin with a $61 billion market cap, likely increases liquidity on the XRPL by attracting more users, developers, and institutions. This boost can enhance DeFi applications and enterprise payments, potentially driving demand for XRP, the native token used for transaction fees. While some may view it as competition for RLUSD, the overall effect seems positive for the XRPL's growth.
 

Competition vs. Coexistence with RLUSD

USDC and RLUSD cater to different needs: USDC appeals to those valuing regulatory compliance, while RLUSD, backed by Ripple, may attract users preferring ecosystem integration. Research suggests both can coexist, increasing options and fostering innovation, rather than purely competing.
 

Detailed Analysis of USDC on XRPL and Its Implications

The integration of USDC on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), announced on June 12, 2025, by Circle, has significant implications for the ecosystem, particularly in relation to RLUSD, Ripple's stablecoin launched in 2024. This section provides a comprehensive analysis, exploring whether this development is more about competition for RLUSD or if it enhances liquidity on the XRPL, ultimately benefiting XRP.
 

Understanding RLUSD and Its Role

RLUSD, Ripple's stablecoin, received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in 2024 and is designed to be fully backed by cash and cash equivalents, ensuring stability. It is available on both the Ethereum and XRP Ledger blockchains, aiming to enhance liquidity, reduce volatility, and serve cross-border payments. With a current market cap of $413 million, RLUSD is smaller than USDC's $61 billion but has regulatory credibility, particularly appealing to institutions.
 

Impact of USDC on the XRPL

The launch of USDC on the XRPL is a significant development, given its status as the second-largest stablecoin by market cap.
 
Key impacts include:
  • Liquidity Boost: USDC's integration can attract more users, developers, and institutions, increasing overall liquidity. This is crucial for DeFi applications, as Circle's announcement emphasizes its use in liquidity provisioning for token pairs and FX flows.
  • Increased Utility: USDC enhances the XRPL's utility for enterprise payments, financial infrastructure, and DeFi, potentially making it more attractive for global money movement and transparent settlements.
  • Regulatory and Institutional Appeal: As a regulated stablecoin issued by Circle, USDC can bring institutional users to the XRPL, aligning with Ripple's goals for regulated financial activities.
  • Network Growth: Supporting a widely recognized stablecoin like USDC on 22 blockchains, including the XRPL, increases the network's visibility and adoption, potentially driving more activity.

Competition vs. Complementarity with RLUSD

While USDC's launch could be seen as competition for RLUSD, the evidence suggests a more nuanced relationship:
  • Competition: Both are stablecoins on the XRPL, and USDC's larger market presence ($61 billion vs. RLUSD's $413 million) might attract users and developers away from RLUSD. However, competition can drive innovation, such as lower fees or better services, benefiting the ecosystem
  • Complementarity: Different stablecoins cater to different needs. USDC appeals to users valuing regulatory compliance and widespread adoption across multiple blockchains, while RLUSD, backed by Ripple, may attract those preferring ecosystem integration and regulatory approval from NYDFS. The XRPL can benefit from having multiple options, increasing liquidity and fostering a diverse ecosystem.
  • Coexistence Benefits: Research suggests that having multiple stablecoins enhances liquidity and provides users with more choices, potentially leading to higher network activity. For example, institutions might use USDC for global payments and RLUSD for specific XRPL-integrated applications, creating a symbiotic relationships.

Impact on XRP

The introduction of USDC, alongside RLUSD, is likely beneficial for XRP, the native token of the XRPL, for several reasons:
  • Increased Liquidity and Activity: Higher liquidity on the XRPL, driven by both stablecoins, can increase transaction volumes. XRP is used for transaction fees, with some fees burned, potentially reducing supply over time and increasing demand.
  • DeFi and Enterprise Use Cases: Both USDC and RLUSD enhance DeFi and enterprise applications, such as liquidity pools and cross-border payments, which can drive demand for XRP as a settlement token.
  • Network Growth: A more liquid and active XRPL is more attractive to developers and users, potentially leading to long-term growth for XRP, as increased utility can drive its value.
Expert analyses, such as those from u.today and ledgerinsights.com, suggest the launch is a "massive boost" for liquidity and adoption, with RLUSD also playing a significant role.
 

Comparative Analysis: USDC vs. RLUSD

To further illustrate, consider the following table comparing key attributes:
 
Given the evidence, it is more accurate to view the introduction of USDC on the XRPL as beneficial for liquidity, which is ultimately good for XRP, rather than solely as competition for RLUSD. The XRPL benefits from increased options, with both stablecoins enhancing liquidity, utility, and network growth. While some competition exists, the overall impact is positive, fostering a robust ecosystem that can drive demand for XRP. This conclusion aligns with expert analyses and community discussions, acknowledging the complexity of the stablecoin market within the XRPL.
