XRP Price Desperately Tries to Catch a Bottom as Ripple Gathers the Faithful before Community Day

This global event comes at a critical time for the digital asset, which is currently trading around $1.36 to $1.40. While the price has fallen nearly 25% from its recent high of $2.00, investors are hoping that big updates from Ripple leaders like CEO Brad Garlinghouse will help the market recover.

Community Event Focuses on Use Cases
The two-day virtual event is designed to show how XRP is actually being used in the financial world. Ripple plans to share its 2026 roadmap, which includes new plans for cross-chain liquidity and even deeper integration into global banking. Sessions are covering topics like wrapped XRP, DeFi tools, and the latest on XRP-based ETFs. For many holders, the most exciting part is seeing how Ripple aims to turn the XRP Ledger into a major piece of infrastructure for institutional-grade finance.
Institutional Interest Grows via New XRP ETFs
Despite the recent price drop, big investors still seem to be buying in. On February 9 alone, XRP spot ETFs saw fresh inflows of $6.31 million. Since these funds launched, they have collected a total of over $1.2 billion in net new money. Analysts believe this steady institutional support provides a floor for the price, even while the broader market remains nervous and risk-off following a month of volatility.
At the time of writing, XRP’s price is sitting at $1.3751.

The End of an Era! Semianalysis: Without Jensen Huang, Nvidia Will Become the Next Apple
Semianalysis believes that Jensen Huang’s departure marks the end of a founder-driven era. Nvidia is highly likely to replicate the "post-Steve Jobs Apple model"—shifting from aggressive bets to stock buybacks—which is not beneficial for either technological advancement or shareholders. A greater concern is that the supply chain advantages, customer trust system, and open-source ecosystem moat personally built by Jensen Huang will be difficult for his successor to replicate. By 2028, over 70% of total production capacity may shift to non-Nvidia players.
