Brad Garlinghouse, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Ripple blockchain behemoth, has published a tweet with a photo of himself signing exclusive Ripple merch for the XRP community as the XRP Community Day approaches.
Meanwhile, Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, has brought some good news from the White House about the future of crypto regulation in the US.
Ripple CEO signs exclusive Ripple merch for community
The XRP Community Day is celebrated on February 11 and 12 this year – on these two days, XRP holders, builders, institutions, and Ripple leaders will meet during three live Spaces on the X social media platform (formerly known as Twitter). They discuss current regulated XRP-based products, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other exchange-traded products (ETPs). This year, they will also talk about newly developed features that expand XRP's utility.
Among the honorable speakers are the CEO Brad Garlinghouse, the former chief technology officer and a co-founder of the XRP Ledger, David Schwarz, and the chief legal officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty, as well as the Ripple president Monica Long, according to Ripple’s recent X post. Various partners across EMEA, North and South America, and the APAC region will join them on the digital stage.
Ahead of this remarkable event, Brad Garlinghouse has published a tweet with a photo of himself signing exclusive merchandise for the XRP community. He said that David Schwartz was unable to leave his autographs on the merch; the community will have to make do with Garlinghouse only.
Stuart Alderoty shares news from the White House
Ripple’s CTO has tweeted that he had been present at a “productive session” at the White House. It was dedicated to discussing the Clarity Act about cryptocurrency regulation and issues like stablecoin yields.
In his post, Stuart Alderoty shared moderate optimism on these issues, saying that “compromise is in the air” and “clear, bipartisan momentum remains behind sensible crypto market structure legislation.” He believes that it is necessary for this bill to be passed under the current crypto-friendly US presidential administration to reaffirm the potential US leadership in the crypto space and turn the US into a global crypto hub. This will also "deliver a real win for consumers and America."
