Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has personally signed exclusive merchandise for the XRP community in anticipation of the annual XRP Community Day, celebrated on February 11 and 12, 2026. The event brings together XRP holders, builders, institutions, and Ripple leadership for a series of live discussions on the X social media platform.
The community day sessions will focus on current regulated XRP-based products like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other exchange-traded products (ETPs), as well as newly developed features aimed at expanding XRP's utility. Key speakers include CEO Brad Garlinghouse, former CTO and XRP Ledger co-founder David Schwartz, Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, and Ripple President Monica Long. Partners from EMEA, North and South America, and the APAC region are also participating.
In a related development, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, shared positive news from a "productive session" at the White House. The discussions centered on the Clarity Act for cryptocurrency regulation and issues such as stablecoin yields. Alderoty expressed moderate optimism, stating that "compromise is in the air" and that "clear, bipartisan momentum remains behind sensible crypto market structure legislation." He emphasized the need to pass legislation under the current administration to reaffirm U.S. leadership in crypto and turn the country into a global crypto hub, which would "deliver a real win for consumers and America."
Meanwhile, ahead of the event, XRP's price fell 2.91% to $1.37, slightly underperforming a broader crypto market downturn where Bitcoin dropped about 2.1%.
