The post XRP Community Day 2026: Grayscale, Solana, Gemini Join Ripple’s Global Event appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
SBI Holdings CEO Yoshitaka Kitao shared Ripple’s XRP Community Day 2026 announcement on X today, drawing attention to what’s shaping up to be a major event for the XRP ecosystem.
The global virtual event is scheduled for February 11-12 and will feature Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, President Monica Long, and a lineup of speakers from some of the biggest names in crypto and traditional finance.
According to Ripple’s blog, the event will bring together “XRP holders, builders, institutions, and Ripple leaders” to discuss the growing utility and adoption of XRP and the broader XRPL ecosystem.
Why the Speaker Lineup Matters
The names on this roster are worth paying attention to.
Grayscale’s Head of Product & Research, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, will speak on regulated XRP investment products and the growth of crypto ETFs and ETPs globally. Brad Vopni, Head of Institutional at Gemini, and Bitnomial President Michael Dunn are also part of the event.
Ripple also teased a “surprise guest” for a fireside chat on tokenized finance with Markus Infanger, SVP of RippleX. No details yet on who that might be.
Wrapped XRP Comes to Solana
One session that stands out covers wrapped XRP expanding to other blockchains, starting with Solana. Solana Foundation’s Interim CMO Vibhu Norby and Hex Trust’s CPO Giorgia Pellizzari will discuss what this means for liquidity, access, and real-world use across chains.
