For a freaking year now we've been stuck in this tight channel for $BTC.D, that's just crazy.
A potentially massive catalyst
JUST IN: Coinbase expands Bitcoin-backed mortgages, allowing borrowers to buy homes without selling their $BTC or face margin calls.

This fall, New York City hosts arguably the most important week for XRP in 2026.
XRPL Commons, in partnership with XRPLF, is running a 36-hour hackathon. October 24-25. Three days before Ripple's Swell conference at The Shed in Hudson Yards.
This isn't a coincidence.
This year, Swell absorbed Apex, Ripple's developer summit. Executives and protocol engineers share the same room for the first time.
The real story will be how builders choose to utilize the lending & borrowing track to showcase the future capabilities of XRP Ledger.
Two amendments are still building toward the support they need to go live:
• XLS-65 (Single Asset Vaults): 40% support
• XLS-66 (Lending Protocol): above 37%
• Both need 80%+ sustained for two weeks to activate
• Ripple's own validator backs both, devnet is already open
These builders will ship against credit primitives the network hasn't activated yet.
Additionally:
• Ledger put up $10k in hardware security bounties
• 3-day Core Dev Bootcamp feeds C++ developers into Protocol Innovation
XRPL's future plumbing is being built in real-time this October in New York City.
Start spreading the news.

XRP Lending Amendments Get a Real-World Test in New York this October.
XRP Ledger Lending Protocol (XLS-66) and Single Asset Vaults (XLS-65) currently sit at 37-40% validator support, short of the 80% threshold needed to activate.
At an October 24-25 hackathon hosted by @xrpl_commons in partnership with @XRPLF, builders will develop directly against these credit primitives.
The timing isn't incidental. The hackathon runs the weekend before @RippleSwell, which this year merges with Apex, Ripple's developer summit, for the first time.
Full story below.
Would be a shame if all the longs got trapped and all the "bottom is in" got pulled back down to fresh lows.
Especially on $XRP.

Jeonbuk Bank is the first regional bank in Korea to deploy Ripple Payments, replacing multi-day SWIFT transfers with near real-time, 24/7 cross-border settlement for its business customers. Our third Korean partnership this year, after Kyobo Life Insurance and Kbank, partnering on custody, wallet infrastructure and payments.

#coingecko page is complete shit.
Couldn't load any charts yesterday, just lines.
Today it wouldn't let me load coin pages at all saying they are missing and now, lol, they literally are missing from the page.
