Between October 6 and December 9, 2026, eleven significant events could influence Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), and the broader crypto market. These events include a Nasdaq listing, an upgrade to the XRP Ledger, two Federal Reserve meetings, and the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.

While most of these events might have little impact on prices, a few could significantly affect demand for both cryptocurrencies. So, which dates should crypto holders mark on their calendars?

Evernorth’s Nasdaq Listing and an XRP Ledger Upgrade Kick Off October

October starts with Ethereum developers testing “Glamsterdam,” the next upgrade for Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), on October 6. This testing occurs on the Sepolia testnet—a trial version of the blockchain where new code can run without risking real funds.

Evernorth is set to start trading on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN on October 8, following the merger’s finalization. Shareholders approved the deal with about 20.5 million shares in favor, and the company holds 473 million XRP. This means stockholders can invest in a company closely tied to XRP through a standard brokerage account.
