The Ripple Swell 2025 agenda is now ready - Highlights

Ripple revealed the full agenda for its ninth Swell conference, an exclusive event in New York from November 4 to 5, with a pre-reception on November 3. Everything in Eastern Time. Topics range from tokenization to security, covering market structure and regulation. It seems quite ambitious.

First day of the Ripple Swell 🚀

Tuesday kicks off with Monica Long welcoming everyone. Simple. Direct. She will present Ripple's vision on crypto financial utility. Then Adena Friedman, the head of Nasdaq, will speak. Key topic: blockchain in finance.

The morning turns towards capital markets. Maxwell Stein from BlackRock will be there. Also Rory Callagy from Moody's. They will talk about tokens. Transformation. Future.

Then, stablecoins and cross-border payments. A hot topic. Financial inclusion, costs, speed... all that. And then crypto ETFs with experts from Bitwise, Canary Capital, and Bitnomial explaining how they democratize access. It's not entirely clear if they will enter into deep technical debates.

Ripple will show something about payments with stablecoins. They want customers to see results soon. Very soon.

The afternoon is more institutional. Custody. Legacy systems. Interoperability. Complex things. The international regulatory panel seems interesting: Billy Kelleher from Europe, Roberto Silva from Argentina, Matthew Osborne from Ripple. Diverse perspectives.

The prime brokerage and settlement with Ripple promise to "unlock the future." Grandiose but intriguing. Global banks will talk about tokenization and custody. Citi will be there. So will Franklin Templeton and Fidelity.

Second day 🔥

There is still mystery. An unannounced morning conference. Kind of surprising that they haven't revealed everything.

Afterward, a panel on "maturity" in the adoption of digital assets. Institutions are at different stages. Some are just starting. Others are already scaling.

Politics arrives by mid-morning. The focus is clear: "The Trump Administration has opened new opportunities for crypto." They will discuss legislation, regulation, international coordination. The message seems optimistic.

Stuart Alderoty will present the National Cryptocurrency Association. They want to combine "curiosity and trust". Alderoty has 35 years of legal experience. Vocal advocate. He does not believe the sector needs something like Dodd-Frank.

A special conversation: Chef José Andrés with Chris Larsen from Ripple. They will talk about humanitarian innovation. Impact at scale. Something different.

Stablecoins are constantly appearing. Ripple's RLUSD will have its special moment. Integration. Trust. Regional growth.

Brad Garlinghouse closes with crypto trends for 2026. He will double down on useful crypto infrastructure.

XRP is worth $2.84 at the time of publishing this.
