Ripple CEO ‘Loves to See It’ as XRP Fans Party – Surprise!

by

XRP enthusiasts, developers, and self-proclaimed “crypto gurus” gathered at ETHDenver, a Web3 BUIDLathon that somehow managed to attract 25,000 people who still think this stuff matters. Naturally, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had to chime in on X with his signature enthusiasm: “love to see it.” Because nothing says “I care” like typing in lowercase.

The event, which is either a festival or a cult meeting-depends on who you ask-ran from Feb. 18 to 21, 2026. A date so far in the future, it’s probably just a placeholder for when we’ve all realized crypto was a mistake.

Shiba Inu’s price surge? More like a Shiba Inu’s price “momentum,” which is just a fancy word for “hope.” Ethereum’s stuck? Of course it is-nobody’s figured out how to fix a blockchain that can’t scale. And Bitcoin? Still pretending it wants to hit $70k, like a broke friend who won’t admit they’re flat broke.

Garlinghouse’s tweet, “love to see it,” which is code for “I hope you’re paying for the snacks.” RippleX called the gathering a “great evening with the community,” because nothing bonds people like mutual delusion and a shared distrust of fiat.

Earlier this month, Ripple hosted a “successful” community day. Success here defined as: no one got arrested, and at least one person bought an NFT.

Meanwhile, the White House held a stablecoin yield meeting with a “small group” of crypto reps and banks. Ripple’s CLO, Stuart Alderoty, was there, probably explaining why XRP isn’t a security… again. Groundbreaking.

Ripple and XRPL news

SBI Ripple Asia just partnered with the Asia Web3 Alliance Japan. Because if one layer of bureaucracy isn’t enough, why not add another? The MOU will help startups use blockchain for “financial services”-a term that means different things to different people, usually involving a lot of buzzwords and very little cash.

Ripple updated the XRP Ledger repository key. Users are now being told to download the new GPG key, because nothing says “user-friendly” like forcing everyone to verify a fingerprint. Pro tip: If your computer starts speaking in riddles, you did something wrong.

The XRPL Foundation is working on a fix for a batch amendment bug. Good luck, because by the time this gets resolved, we’ll probably all be using quantum wallets or whatever’s next.
