Preparations are underway for XRP Community Day 2026. You can access the link here: https://t.co/z1bND40c1N
We are looking forward to connecting with the community on Feb 11 and 12. During these dates, Ripple leaders, institutions, builders, and XRP holders will gather for three live 𝕏 Spaces to discuss the current applications of XRP and its future trajectory.
The event will feature insights from ecosystem partners across the Americas, APAC, and EMEA, alongside speakers such as @bgarlinghouse, @MonicaLongSF, @Joelkatz, and @s_alderoty. Agenda topics will include regulated XRP products such as ETPs and ETFs, wrapped XRP, XRP Innovation Spotlights, and new features designed to expand XRP utility.
Please visit the blog to view the complete schedule and session breakdowns.
Crypto rewards excitement in the short term, but it rewards usefulness over time. Stablecoins prove that better than anything else in the market. They move value every single day, across cycles, without caring about narratives. Plasma is built around that reality.
Most stablecoin volume still runs on infrastructure designed for speculation. That works until fees spike, congestion hits, and reliability breaks down. Payments cannot tolerate that. Businesses need consistency. Users need predictability. Money needs rails that just work.
Plasma is built stablecoin-first. Transfers and settlement are the core workload, not an add-on. The network prioritizes throughput, fee stability, and reliable execution because those are non-negotiables for real financial activity.
The EVM compatibility angle matters more than people think. Developers deploy familiar tooling. Wallets integrate without friction. Payment providers extend existing systems instead of rebuilding everything. That lowers adoption risk and speeds up real usage.
Zoom out and the positioning is clear. As hype cycles rotate, infrastructure that processes real economic activity keeps compounding quietly. Stablecoins are not going away, and the rails supporting them become increasingly valuable over time.
Plasma is not loud. It does not need to be.
It is building where the money actually moves.

A few days ago, $SYRUP USDC quietly went live on $AAVE 's Base deployment with an initial deposit cap of $50M.
This marked another major expansion for Maple’s flagship dollar-yield asset, plugging institutional-grade yield directly into one of DeFi’s most trusted lending markets.
The cap wasn’t set high by accident. It was a measured rollout designed to test demand, liquidity behavior, and integration efficiency within the Aave ecosystem on Base.
Fast forward to today, and that entire $50M cap has now been filled.
That tells a clear story.
Demand for transparent, onchain dollar yield is real. Users aren’t just chasing APYs they’re allocating capital to assets with proven underwriting, risk management, and consistent performance.
For Maple, this is more than a single milestone. It’s further validation that syrupUSDC is becoming core DeFi infrastructure a building block for lending, leverage, and structured strategies across ecosystems.
As Maple continues to expand distribution through platforms like Aave, it’s increasingly clear what role the protocol is playing: powering DeFi strategies with institutional-grade yield rails.
This is how onchain asset management scales.
$ETH WARNING BY ETHEREUM FOUNDER ⚠️
Vitalik Buterin didn’t sugarcoat it at all.
He’s saying if crypto turns into pure speculation, no real use cases, no building, just people gambling on charts all day… then this industry will die. Period.
And honestly, look around.
Too many projects with nothing inside.
Too many people chasing quick money, no one asking what problem is being solved.
Crypto was never meant to be just a betting game. It was supposed to fix things, move value, give people options outside broken systems.
If we forget that, prices won’t save us. Hype won’t save us.
Only real utility will.
This is a warning, not hate.
Build something real, or watch it fade away.
