has hinted at a big upcoming event that could bring exciting developments for the crypto world. He confirmed that XRPL Apex 2025 will take place in Singapore from June 10 to 12. This yearly gathering is one of the most important events for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) community and could have a strong influence on the price of XRP.

With Ripple’s top minds set to take the stage and a history of headline-making announcements, the event is already stirring buzz across the industry.

What could Ripple be planning – and could this be the moment that sends XRP soaring? Let’s take a closer look.

Speakers at XRPL Apex 2025

Starting June 10, Ripple will host XRPL Apex 2025, an event that brings together developers, investors, and fans of the XRP Ledger. Over the years, it has become known for major announcements and updates related to Ripple and XRPL.

This year’s event is already drawing attention, as it could play a big role in shaping the market sentiment for XRP.

Garlinghouse won’t just be attending the event—he will be one of the main keynote speakers. He will be joined by other top Ripple leaders, including:

  • David Schwartz, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer
  • Monica Long, President of Ripple
  • David Bchiri, President of XRPL Commons

These speakers are expected to share updates on the latest XRPL developments, Ripple’s future plans, and new ideas in blockchain technology.

Crypto Adoption in the US Is on the Rise

Alongside the event announcement, Garlinghouse also shared new findings about crypto adoption in the United States. A recent report from the National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) shows that 21% of Americans now own cryptocurrencies. Even more surprising, 75% of them believe crypto has had a positive impact on their lives.

The report also looked at who these crypto holders are. About 70% are men, many of whom work in construction, technology, or finance. Most of them are millennials, while only 15% are aged 55 or older.

How People Are Using Their Crypto

The survey revealed how Americans are putting their crypto to use:

  • 52% are holding it as a long-term investment
  • 39% have used crypto to make purchases
  • 15% have even used it to buy real estate

This shows that people are starting to use digital assets not just for investing, but also for everyday transactions and big purchases. On top of that, 73% of crypto holders said they want the United States to take the lead in the global crypto industry.

XRP Price Outlook 

Historically, Ripple-related announcements have influenced XRP’s price movements, as XRP has already seen a surge of 2.5% in the last 24 hours. If any major announcement happens during the event, it will push the XRP price to its ATH.
