Ripple Swell 2025 Set for November, Featuring Top Industry Leaders from Nasdaq, BlackRock, and More
Ripple has officially announced the return of its flagship event, Swell 2025, set to take place in New York this November. Following the success of last year’s conference in Miami, the two-day event is expected to draw over 600 attendees and feature more than 60 influential speakers.
Swell 2025 will kick off with a welcome reception on November 3, followed by the main sessions on November 4–5 at Convene Hudson Yards. The event will focus on institutional innovation, real-world blockchain utility, and Ripple’s expanding ecosystem.
What Is Ripple Swell?
Swell is Ripple’s premier annual conference, bringing together clients, ecosystem partners, and top voices in the crypto and financial industries. While the event fosters deep discussion, tech insights, and networking, it remains invitation-only—interested attendees must register via the official Swell website to request access. 
Keynote Speakers and Panelists
This year’s lineup includes major names from both Ripple and the broader finance and crypto sectors. Ripple’s speakers include CEO Brad Garlinghouse, President Monica Long, Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, and VP of Trading & Markets Nigel Khakoo.
High-profile guests also include:
- Adena Friedman, Chair & CEO of Nasdaq
- Maxwell Stein, Director of Digital Assets, BlackRock
- Sandy Kaul, Head of Innovation, Franklin Templeton
- Ryan Rugg, Global Head of Digital Assets, Citi
- Cynthia Lo Bessette, Head of Fidelity Digital Asset Management

With anticipation already building, Ripple Swell 2025 is positioned as one of the year’s major crypto gatherings—alongside events like the Bitcoin Conference 2025. The countdown has begun.
