Everything You Need to Know About Ripple Swell 2025-The Highlights You Can’t Miss!

by

Hold onto your digital wallets, folks! Ripple has released the much-anticipated agenda for its ninth annual Swell conference, and it’s packed with a two-day extravaganza happening in New York City on November 4-5. Yes, you read that right-this is an invite-only event, so unless you’ve been living under a crypto rock, you’re either on the list or stuck streaming the fireworks from home. But don’t worry, there’s always next year! 😉

The conference kicks off with a welcome reception on November 3. Then brace yourself for some mind-blowing sessions covering everything from tokenization to stablecoins, market structures to security. And no, there won’t be any boring keynote speeches on “how to make coffee at your startup,” this is the real deal. ☕

Ripple was quick to take to X (formerly Twitter) to hype this up: “The Ripple Swell 2025 agenda is live! From stablecoins to payments to real-world adoption, Swell brings together the conversations shaping the future of finance. Don’t miss your chance to join us in NYC!” Okay, Ripple, we’re sold. 👀

Ripple Swell Day 1 Agenda

It all begins on Tuesday with President Monica Long’s Opening Remarks-because nothing says “We’re going to change the world” quite like a good old “Welcome to Ripple Swell!” Right after that, get ready for a fireside chat with Nasdaq’s own Adena Friedman as she spills the beans on the potential of digital assets and blockchain. Spoiler alert: It’s a lot. 💥

The morning rolls on with BlackRock’s Maxwell Stein and Moody’s Rory Callagy dropping knowledge bombs on how tokenized assets are shaking up the capital markets. Grab your coffee, people, it’s about to get real. 🤑

Then, brace yourself for a panel on “Stablecoins and Blockchain: Revolutionizing Cross-Border Payments,” where some serious minds like AMINA Bank’s Myles Harrison and Schuman Financial’s Martin Bruncko tackle the big stuff: cost, speed, and financial inclusion. Can we get a “Hell yeah!” for more affordable payments?! 💸

Afterward, we’ll hear from Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, Canary Capital’s Steven McClurg, and Bitnomial’s Luke Hoersten about how crypto ETFs are making digital assets as accessible as your favorite online shopping site. 🛒

Later in the day, we’ll dive deep into custody frictions (because who doesn’t love a good custody panel, am I right?), international regulations, and more prime brokerage wizardry than you can shake a blockchain at. If you didn’t know, “Market Plumbing” is totally a thing. 🔧

And just when you think you’re safe, *bam*-the evening “Swellebration” awaits with Innovation Awards. Yep, there’s swag. 😎

Day 2 Agenda

The second day kicks off with a mystery keynote (ooooh, suspense!) followed by a panel on “Maturity in Digital Asset Adoption.” Because you know, crypto is like fine wine-it gets better with age. 🍷

The most anticipated segment is the policy talk: “US Regulatory Leadership in Crypto-Global Comparisons and 2025 Priorities.” Yes, this is where they discuss “what’s next” for crypto legislation. They’ll even bring up the *Trump Administration*-I mean, nothing says innovation like legislative chaos, right? 🤯

And just when you thought the crypto talk was winding down, you’ll get to meet the National Cryptocurrency Association and hear about bridging the gap between crypto curiosity and, well, actual confidence. Fingers crossed they’ll teach us how not to panic when prices dip! 😬

The big finish? Chef José Andrés-yes, THE José Andrés, humanitarian and master of the kitchen-will join Ripple’s Chris Larsen to chat about innovation in disaster relief. It’s like food for the soul (and the wallet, maybe?). 🍴

Finally, the day wraps up with a keynote from Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse on crypto trends for 2026 and why he’s all in on crypto infrastructure. Spoiler alert: He’s not selling his XRP anytime soon. 🚀

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, XRP was trading at $2.84 when the press release went out. Talk about a good time to be in the game! 🤑
