Highlights
The Swell Conference that will be hosted by Ripple will take place on Nov 4th and 5th in New York City. The two-day event brings together the most influential leaders in the world of finance, blockchain, and policy. They will talk about innovation in the digital assets industry and regulatory advancements.
The event’s agenda includes sessions on cross-border payments, tokenization, stablecoins, and digital-asset adoption by financial institutions. It also features a keynote conversation between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and top U.S. policymakers. They would be focusing on how the right crypto regulation can drive responsible growth in the industry.
The Swell event coincides with growing optimism over a possible XRP ETF launch. Bloomberg analyst Nate Geraci the launch would mark a major win for Ripple. Swell has long been Ripple’s most anticipated annual event. XRP trend in subsequent months is usually influenced by the conference.
The event is invite-only. As of the time of this publication, there is no live streaming or virtual access mentioned on the official Ripple website, including its event page.
Ripple’s YouTube channel also has no scheduled live streams for the event. However, CoinDesk (the official media partner) is providing partial live coverage of institutional adoption discussions on both main days. These sessions will be available on CoinDesk’s YouTube channel.
Full sessions are not streamed. Any additional coverage or on-demand recaps may appear later on Ripple’s site or channels. Some community members and crypto YouTubers may also run unofficial commentary streams, but these are not official.
The conference this year will feature the efforts of Ripple regarding the tokenizing assets in the real world and new product offerings to institutional clients. Hence, most market participants would be interested in fresh updates regarding payment corridors by Ripple. Ripple’s recent acquisition of GTreasury expanded its reach into global treasury management, signaling a push toward enterprise-scale financial infrastructure.
They would also like to be informed on any improvements regarding the XRP Ledger, and new financial integrations by the company. In addition, the wider market would be keen on whether Ripple will introduce new products. Also, there might be collaborations that would accelerate or increase liquidity for XRP.
A positive statement might shape the short-term price of XRP. The event gives Ripple an opportunity to showcase progress since resolving its long-running legal dispute with the U.S. SEC.
This year’s Swell event comes a day after Ripple’s stablecoin hit a new milestone. The company’s RLUSD stablecoin has now surpassed $1 billion market cap. This was achieved in its first year of operation, which reflects rapid uptake by institutions.
Ripple executive Jack McDonald rejoiced over the milestone saying that it is a major accomplishment for stablecoins pegged to USD. He complimented the team, saying it is their hard work that has brought significant popularity to the stablecoin. Ripple also partnered with Bahrain’s Fintech Bay to expand RLUSD payment adoption across the Gulf region.
The company believes that with Ripple Prime, GTreasury, and Rail joining the ecosystem, RLUSD and XRP will gain a stronger boost. These collaborations are expected to enable faster and more efficient settlement across the world.
