Ripple Announces XRP Community Day 2026 With Focus on ETFs, Tokenization, and Regulated Finance

Ripple has officially announced XRP Community Day 2026, a global virtual event set to take place on February 11 and 12, bringing together XRP holders, developers, institutions, and Ripple leadership from across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC. The event will be hosted via live X Spaces on Ripple’s official account and will focus on XRP’s expanding real-world use cases and the evolution of the XRPL ecosystem.

According to Ripple, XRP Community Day 2026 builds on last year’s inaugural event with a stronger emphasis on how XRP is being used today and where it is headed next. Sessions throughout the event will cover regulated financial products, exchange-traded products, wrapped XRP, DeFi applications, tokenization, and onchain infrastructure developments planned for 2026.

Ripple confirmed that senior leadership, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and President Monica Long, will participate alongside ecosystem partners, financial institutions, and community builders. The goal of the event is to align the global XRP ecosystem around priorities, highlight progress, and provide clarity on XRP’s role within regulated financial markets.

The EMEA session will open with a macro-level discussion on XRP in capital markets led by Garlinghouse, followed by a tokenized finance announcement from RippleX and a panel focused on funding opportunities for XRPL projects. Later sessions will examine the growth of regulated XRP investment products, including ETFs and ETPs, with participation from firms such as Grayscale and Bitnomial. The EMEA block will also feature an XRP Innovation Spotlight highlighting active projects building real utility on XRPL.

The Americas session will introduce the new Executive Director of the XRPL Foundation and provide updates on governance, grants, and ecosystem support. Technical discussions will cover XRPL features that are already live and those coming next, including programmability, compliance tooling, privacy enhancements, and the native lending protocol. The session will conclude with Monica Long outlining Ripple’s 2026 priorities and explaining why XRP remains central to Ripple’s business strategy.

APAC sessions will focus on cross-chain expansion and stablecoin integration. One discussion will explore wrapped XRP and its use across other blockchain networks, including Solana, while another will examine how stablecoins and XRP work together in modern payment and settlement systems. The event will close with a community Q&A featuring David Schwartz, who will address adoption progress and the future direction of XRP use cases.

XRP Community Day 2026 will be held on February 11 for EMEA and the Americas, and February 12 for APAC. Participants can RSVP via Luma to receive reminders and updates, with recordings made available afterward through Ripple’s official channels.

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

The post Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Botanix Labs has launched stBTC, a liquid staking token designed to turn Bitcoin into a yield-bearing asset by redistributing network gas fees directly to users. The protocol will begin yield accrual later this week, with its Genesis Vault scheduled to open on Sept. 25, capped at 50 BTC. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to generate Bitcoin-native yield without relying on inflationary token models or centralized custodians. stBTC works by allowing users to deposit Bitcoin into Botanix’s permissionless smart contract, receiving stBTC tokens that represent their share of the staking vault. As transactions occur, 50% of Botanix network gas fees, paid in BTC, flow back to stBTC holders. Over time, the value of stBTC increases relative to BTC, enabling users to redeem their original deposit plus yield. Botanix estimates early returns could reach 20–50% annually before stabilizing around 6–8%, a level similar to Ethereum staking but fully denominated in Bitcoin. Botanix says that security audits have been completed by Spearbit and Sigma Prime, and the protocol is built on the EIP-4626 vault standard, which also underpins Ethereum-based staking products. The company’s Spiderchain architecture, operated by 16 independent entities including Galaxy, Alchemy, and Fireblocks, secures the network. If adoption grows, Botanix argues the system could make Bitcoin a productive, composable asset for decentralized finance, while reinforcing network consensus. This is a developing story.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
