In the dusty plains of the crypto frontier, Brad Garlinghouse, the self-proclaimed sheriff of Ripple’s blockchain town, has taken to the digital pulpit with a photo of himself, pen in hand, scribbling his John Hancock on what he calls “exclusive merch.” The occasion? The XRP Community Day, a gathering of the faithful, where dreams of decentralized riches are as abundant as the dust in a Salinas valley.
Meanwhile, in the marble halls of the White House, Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s legal gunslinger, has been whispering sweet nothings about crypto regulation. Seems the winds of compromise are blowing, and the Clarity Act might just be the map to the promised land of sensible legislation. Alderoty, with a wink and a nod, suggests that now’s the time to strike while the iron’s hot, lest the window of opportunity slams shut like a barn door in a storm.
The Sheriff Signs His Swag
The XRP Community Day, a two-day hoedown on February 11 and 12, brings together the faithful-holders, builders, institutions, and the Ripple bigwigs themselves. They’ll gather in the digital saloon of X (formerly Twitter) to chew the fat about ETFs, ETPs, and the latest gadgets to make XRP as useful as a Swiss Army knife. Among the notables are Garlinghouse, the absent co-founder David Schwartz (who apparently had better things to do than sign merch), and the rest of the Ripple posse.
Garlinghouse, ever the showman, tweeted a photo of himself signing the merch, quipping that the community would have to settle for his autograph. “Guess folks will have to make do with me,” he smirked, as if his signature were the Holy Grail of collectibles. The merch drop, he promised, would be as exclusive as a private club in a Steinbeck novel.
If you weren’t already excited enough for XRP Community Day tomorrow…we’re also introducing an exclusive merch drop! @joelkatz sadly wasn’t available to sign a few, so guess folks will have to make do with me 😏
Make sure you tune into XRP Community Day (hosted on X Spaces via…

Whispers from the White House
Back in the nation’s capital, Alderoty emerged from a “productive session” at the White House, where the air was thick with the scent of compromise. The Clarity Act, he reported, is gaining bipartisan support, a rare sight in a town where agreement is as scarce as rain in a drought. Alderoty urged swift action, lest the crypto-friendly administration ride off into the sunset, leaving the industry in the lurch.
Productive session at the White House today – compromise is in the air. Clear, bipartisan momentum remains behind sensible crypto market structure legislation. We should move now – while the window is still open – and deliver a real win for consumers and America.

With optimism as cautious as a farmer eyeing the sky for rain, Alderoty believes passing the bill now could cement the U.S. as a global crypto hub. “A real win for consumers and America,” he declared, though whether it’ll be a win or just another chapter in the great American hustle remains to be seen.
