Institutional credit protocol Clearpool releases v4.0 whitepaper: to expand to XRP Ledger and migrate CPOOL 1:1 to CLEAR

PANews October 19 news: Clearpool has published the v4.0 protocol whitepaper for 2026 and stated that its institutional credit market is already operating on multiple EVM-compatible networks and is further expanding to the XRP Ledger. The whitepaper (v4.0) discloses that the institutional credit protocol will expand to the XRP Ledger in partnership with Ripple and Cicada Partners, settle in the regulated stablecoin RLUSD, and migrate the token from CPOOL to the new token CLEAR at a 1:1 ratio. CLEAR has a total supply of 1.429 billion tokens, with 1.125 billion (78.75%) in circulation at the time of migration; the migration and XRPL expansion have passed a Snapshot vote with 97.16% approval. Since the protocol began operating in 2021, it has issued approximately $965 million in cumulative loans, with borrowers including Jane Street, Flow Traders, and Wintermute, and it currently supports six EVM chains. 50% of protocol fees will be used for open-market buybacks and permanent burning of CLEAR. The XRPL product is preparing for testing on Devnet.
