Leading U.S. exchange Gemini has once again ignited excitement across the XRP community after posting a short and powerful message on X.
Specifically, the tweet read: “Next week’s looking real XRP coded.” For context, Gemini’s latest teaser fits into a familiar pattern.
Earlier in August, the exchange posted a cryptic message hinting that something “BIG” was coming. That buildup ultimately led to the August 25 launch of the Gemini XRP Credit Card, built in alliance with Mastercard, Ripple, and WebBank.
Meanwhile, the statement follows a series of XRP-centered events unfolding this week.
Major Developments for Ripple This Week
For one, Ripple is hosting the 2025 edition of its annual Swell conference between November 4 and 5. The agenda features sessions on crypto payments, stablecoins, regulation, and real-world adoption.
Among the major highlights of the event is the lineup of speakers Ripple has prepared. Ripple has confirmed that Maxwell Stein, the Director of Digital Assets for BlackRock, will speak at Swell 2025.
Stein will speak alongside Moody’s Investors Service’s Rory Callagy to discuss how tokenized assets are reshaping capital markets.
Ripple has also announced that White House crypto director Patrick Witt will speak at the event. Witt’s participation highlights the U.S. government’s growing focus on crypto regulation and innovation.
His appearance has fueled optimism within the XRP community, with many viewing it as validation of Ripple’s role in the evolving U.S. financial system.
Witt joins a lineup that includes Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse, Chris Larsen, and Monica Long, as well as Rep. Ritchie Torres, EU Parliament Member Billy Kelleher, and leaders from BNY, Kraken, Bitwise, Citi, and Fidelity.
XRP News Coming Soon
Beyond Ripple’s specific event, the XRP community is also on the lookout for ETF news this month. October passed without the XRP ETF launch many expected, so attention now shifts to November.
ETF expert Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, predicts that the pending spot XRP ETFs could launch within the next two weeks.
His projection aligns with Canary Capital’s proposed XRP ETF, set to debut around November 13, after the firm amended its S-1 filing to remove delay clauses. Canary used a similar strategy for its recent Litecoin and Hedera ETFs.
What Comes Next
With Gemini stating that “next week’s looking real XRP coded,” the community expects major news in the coming days. Given Gemini’s pattern this year—teasing first, launching later—commentators believe the exchange may be preparing yet another addition to its expanding XRP ecosystem.
