In a recent tweet, XRP enthusiast Eri @sentosumosaba shared a fun flashback story told by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse at the XRP Australia event.
Garlinghouse recalled 2018 XRP Community Night, when Snoop Dogg rocked the stage as a special guest, triggering laughter from participants at this year’s XRP event.
At the event, the Ripple CEO expressed great optimism for 2026 and beyond.
XRP Community Night throwback
American rapper Snoop Dogg headlined the XRP Community Night event on May 15, 2018, in Manhattan. As part of the first-ever New York Blockchain Week, Snoop Dogg was booked to perform at XRP Community Night, an event meant to celebrate XRP.
Fast-forward to 2026, nearly eight years after, to the XRP community Night event held at ETHDenver.
XRP holders, builders and creators hosted a community night event at ETHDenver, a Web3 BUIDLathon and Innovation Festival, which convened builders and creators from the crypto industry.
In February, Ripple hosted a successful XRP Community Day event that convened builders, creators and partners from the XRP Ledger ecosystem.
