Ripple (XRP)’s XRP Community Day 2026 features CEO Brad Garlinghouse and President Monica Long discussing ETFs, tokenization, and wrapped XRP across three global sessions.
Ripple (XRP) is hosting XRP Community Day 2026 on February 11, a virtual event spanning three regional X Spaces sessions that will feature CEO Brad Garlinghouse and President Monica Long outlining the company’s 2026 priorities. With XRP trading at $1.92 and spot ETFs seeing $7.76 million in net inflows on January 26, the timing puts institutional adoption front and center.
The event runs across EMEA, Americas, and APAC time zones, with the Asia-Pacific session extending into February 12. All sessions stream free via Ripple’s official X account.
What Ripple Leadership Will Address
Garlinghouse kicks off the EMEA session at 3:00 PM GMT with what Ripple calls “The Era of XRP in Capital Markets.” Expect discussion of regulatory clarity progress, institutional infrastructure readiness, and XRP’s positioning within global financial systems. Tony Edward of Thinking Crypto will moderate.
Monica Long closes out the Americas session at 4:00 PM ET with a deep dive on why XRP sits at the core of Ripple’s business strategy heading into 2026. She’ll outline the company’s priorities around regulated finance, wrapped assets, and cross-chain liquidity.
Sessions Worth Watching
A tokenization announcement at 3:30 PM GMT features RippleX SVP Markus Infanger alongside an undisclosed “surprise guest.” Given Ripple’s recent push into tokenized assets, this could reveal a significant partnership.
The regulated finance panel at 4:30 PM GMT brings together Grayscale’s Head of Product Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary and Bitnomial’s Michael Dunn. They’ll discuss the 40+ crypto ETFs and ETPs launched in 2025, including XRP products, and what expanded access means for institutional investors.
For developers, the XRPL technical session at 1:55 PM ET covers what’s actually shipping: programmability features, privacy tools, compliance infrastructure, and the native lending protocol. RippleX engineers will walk through how these enable real DeFi applications.
Cross-Chain Expansion
The APAC session includes a notable discussion on wrapped XRP and Solana integration at 8:30 AM SGT. Solana Foundation’s interim CMO Vibhu Norby joins Hex Trust’s CPO Giorgia Pellizzari to explain what cross-chain XRP means for liquidity and developer access.
David Schwartz, XRPL co-creator and Ripple CTO Emeritus, closes the event with a community Q&A at 10:30 AM SGT, offering his perspective on XRP adoption progress and what actually matters for growth.
How to Participate
Registration is open through Luma for EMEA, Americas, and APAC sessions. Participants can submit questions ahead of time for live Q&As. Recordings will be posted to Ripple’s official channels afterward.
The event arrives as XRP maintains its position above $1.90 with a $116.55 billion market cap. Whether the sessions deliver substantive news or remain promotional will depend largely on what Garlinghouse and Long choose to reveal about Ripple’s institutional pipeline and any pending regulatory developments.
