Community Event Focuses on Use Cases
The two-day virtual event is designed to show how XRP is actually being used in the financial world. Ripple plans to share its 2026 roadmap, which includes new plans for cross-chain liquidity and even deeper integration into global banking. Sessions are covering topics like wrapped XRP, DeFi tools, and the latest on XRP-based ETFs. For many holders, the most exciting part is seeing how Ripple aims to turn the XRP Ledger into a major piece of infrastructure for institutional-grade finance.
Institutional Interest Grows via New XRP ETFs
Despite the recent price drop, big investors still seem to be buying in. On February 9 alone, XRP spot ETFs saw fresh inflows of $6.31 million. Since these funds launched, they have collected a total of over $1.2 billion in net new money. Analysts believe this steady institutional support provides a floor for the price, even while the broader market remains nervous and risk-off following a month of volatility.
At the time of writing, XRP’s price is sitting at $1.3751.
