Ripple has officially announced its global XRP Community Day 2026, scheduled for February 11 and 12, 2026. The event will be held across three live X Spaces sessions tailored for the EMEA, Americas, and APAC regions, bringing together XRP holders, builders, institutions, and Ripple leadership.
The agenda is packed with sessions focused on regulated XRP investment products like ETFs and ETPs, with confirmed speakers from Grayscale and Bitnomial. Other key topics include wrapped XRP and its use on other networks like Solana, ecosystem funding, and features to expand the token's utility on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The roadmap update will cover programmability, privacy, compliance, and a native lending protocol for XRPL.
High-profile Ripple executives will lead the discussions. CEO Brad Garlinghouse will open the EMEA session, while President Monica Long will address Ripple's 2026 priorities and the company's evolution. Former CTO David Schwartz, Chief Legal Officer Stu Alderoty, and RippleX leaders are also confirmed as speakers.
The announcement was preceded by a significant statement from Ripple senior executive Reece Merrick, who reaffirmed that "XRP remains at the heart of Ripple's vision." This message was strategically timed to address investor questions about XRP's role in Ripple's long-term strategy, especially as the company expands its enterprise products like the newly launched Ripple Treasury platform.
The community has reacted positively, with users on X praising the event's focus on real-world use cases. Recordings of all sessions will be made available after the event concludes.
