On May 2, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse shared his enthusiasm over the increasing number of community-led events centered around the XRP cryptocurrency, indicating a vibrant year ahead for the Ripple community. Notably, the upcoming events include the XRP Gold Coast 2024, which was held March 22-24, 2024; XRP Las Vegas from May 3-4, 2024; and the XRP Ledger Apex in Amsterdam from June 11-13, 2024. Garlinghouse’s presence at these gatherings underscores Ripple’s commitment to engaging with its user base and fostering a collaborative environment.
These events are not just opportunities for networking but are pivotal in showcasing the recent advancements and native capabilities of the XRP Ledger.

Christopher Giancarlo, the 13th chairman of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), David Schwartz, the CTO of Ripple Labs, and U.S. Congressman Wiley Nickel.
