event marketing @ ripple

[Andrew Yeung @andruyeung]

Anthropic is paying up to $400,000 a year for an events role.

They're looking for someone to own the execution of brand experiences that translate Anthropic's values into physical moments.

This person will produce everything from intimate thought-leadership gatherings to large-scale industry activations.

The top AI research lab in the world recognizes that to cross the chasm and reach everyday consumers, they need to lean into hospitality. They need to create visceral, unforgettable IRL experiences that make complex technology feel accessible and human.

They understand that digital channels are getting increasingly saturated. Every feed is flooded with AI content... every inbox is overflowing.

The massive opportunity now is offline, analog, in-person.

The companies that win in the next decade won't just have the best product but the most emotional in-person presence and the most compelling storytelling.

If you're in events, experiential marketing, or brand activations, this is your moment. The biggest tech companies in the world are betting on you.

Happy belated New Year! I just hit send on Ripple’s quarterly shareholder email. To say that 2025 (and Q4) were successful for Ripple feels like saying @TomBrady was just a great quarterback!! (#theGOAT)

Our two major acquisitions - Ripple Prime and GTreasury - greatly accelerate and expand our ability to deliver on our vision, enabling the Internet of Value. XRP has been (and will continue to be) the heartbeat of that vision.

With truly the most comprehensive licensing portfolio (and now today UK’s EMI license added) we are poised to make 2026 even more consequential.

Building and using crypto infrastructure, updating our global financial plumbing, and rethinking legacy systems – none of this happens overnight. At Ripple, we’re going to continue taking the long view of what crypto-based assets – like XRP and RLUSD – can do, rather than chasing cycles and hype.

Bring on 2026. We are firing on all cylinders. It’s happening!

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

It's (finally!) happening

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

The GENIUS Act now goes to the President’s desk, and the CLARITY Act moves forward to the Senate – at long last, there’s movement on workable, clear frameworks for crypto and stablecoins that will both foster innovation and protect consumers. This is exactly what the American people have been asking for.

Strong start to Apex 2025!

I had a great ('underrated'!) conversation this morning onstage with @MonicaLongSF and Pat Patel covering memes, markets and institutional momentum. If you missed it, you can catch all the morning mainstage keynotes from Day 1 in Singapore via the link below.

The final crossing of t’s and dotting of i’s – and what should be my last update on SEC v Ripple ever…

Last week, the SEC agreed to drop its appeal without conditions. @Ripple has now agreed to drop its cross-appeal. The SEC will keep $50M of the $125M fine (already in an interest-bearing escrow in cash), with the balance returned to Ripple. The agency will also ask the Court to lift the standard injunction that was imposed earlier at the SEC’s request. All subject to Commission vote, drafting of final documents and usual court processes.

That’s all folks!

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it.

The future is bright. Let's build.

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

A huge win today – as a matter of law - XRP is not a security. Also a matter of law - sales on exchanges are not securities. Sales by executives are not securities. Other XRP distributions – to developers, to charities, to employees are not securities.

@Macys I have tried calling customer service several times and am just sitting on hold. This is unacceptable.

[Andrea C Schwartz @alconti]

@Macys I keep trying to place an order on your website and it immediately gets canceled. Is there a technical issue going on?

[Andrea C Schwartz @alconti]

@Macys Hi @Macys I sent you the info. Haven’t heard back yet, thanks.

@huffmanbrenna WHEN :)

[Tom Brady @TomBrady]

The only thing greater than his impact on ALS research was his impact on our community. Thank you for your strength and courage under the toughest circumstances. We lost a great soul yesterday, Rest In Peace, Pete.
