Calling all XRP enthusiasts! Mark your calendars for September 6th, as Tokyo gears up to host XRPL Community Day, a major event focused on the Ripple (XRP) ecosystem. This year’s gathering promises to be a landmark occasion, with Ripple’s top executives – CEO Brad Garlinghouse, President Monica Long, and CTO David Schwartz (co-inventor of XRPL) – confirmed to deliver keynote speeches.
This in-person event, held at Terrada Warehouse in Shinagawa City, Tokyo, caters to developers and XRP community members alike. With registration now open on the XRPL Resources website, attendees can expect a day brimming with valuable insights.
A Spotlight on Japan’s Importance for Ripple
XRPL Community Day 2024 underscores Ripple’s strategic focus on expanding its presence in Japan and, by extension, Asia as a whole. This commitment is further solidified by Ripple’s recent collaborations with key players in the Japanese Web3 landscape. Since April, Ripple has partnered with HashKey DX, a Tokyo-based blockchain technology consultancy firm, to drive Web3 adoption in the region.
Furthermore, Ripple established a dedicated blockchain fund in June 2024, specifically targeting Japan and South Korea. This initiative directly supports the development of XRPL-based applications by local developers, fostering innovation within the XRP ecosystem.
A Day of Inspiration, Networking, and Learning
Beyond the high-profile speaker lineup, XRPL Community Day promises a comprehensive program filled with “inspiration, networking, and insights.” Attendees can look forward to a mix of informative sessions, including exclusive speeches, live demonstrations of XRPL applications, and ample opportunities to connect with fellow community members and industry experts.
This event serves as a testament to Ripple’s ongoing commitment to the XRP community and its dedication to fostering the growth and development of the XRPL ecosystem, particularly in the strategically important Asian market.
While the event itself focuses on the positive developments surrounding Ripple and XRPL, it’s important to note that the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) remains unresolved. As previously reported by U.Today, XRP proponents advise the community to remain vigilant against unsubstantiated rumors regarding the potential outcome of this legal case.
Registration for XRPL Community Day 2024 is now open. Those interested in attending can find more information and register on the XRPL Resources website.
