# FLR (FLR-USD) — Digital Asset Research Brief

## Context: What FLR-USD represents

FLR-USD is the token of the **Flare Network**, an EVM-based Layer 1 blockchain positioned as a "blockchain for data" that provides decentralized access to high-integrity data from other chains and the internet [[5]](https://crypto.news/tag/flare/). It is priced in USD (the "-USD" is just the quote currency) [prompt framing]. As of the snapshot, FLR is ranked around #73 by market cap, with a price near $0.006864 (+5.61% over 24h) on 2026-09-21 [LIB background; [3]]. The network's core products include the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO), the Flare Data Connector (FDC), and the FAssets protocol that wraps XRP into FXRP for DeFi use [[5]](https://crypto.news/tag/flare/)[[13]](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/xrp-news-flare-wallet-integration-112500875.html).

Below is a critical synthesis of recent developments, narratives, risks, and events. Where sources conflict or are unverified, I note this explicitly.
