Ripple’s combined Swell 2026 and XRPL Apex conference draws 1,500 attendees, focusing on XRP utility and tokenization.
Ripple will host its largest event yet, Swell 2026, in New York City from October 27 to 29, merging it with the XRPL Apex developer conference. The event will feature over 1,500 attendees, 75 speakers, and 50 sessions across three stages, emphasizing finance, payments, and tokenization.
Historically, Swell has not significantly impacted XRP’s price, but market participants will watch for concrete announcements, such as bank integrations or tokenization pilots with disclosed figures. Past events have lacked verifiable commitments, leaving price action muted.
This year’s agenda includes sessions on XRP utility, the RLUSD stablecoin, and appearances by Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse and David Schwartz, alongside high-profile figures like Matt Damon and Tom Farley.
