The company shared the program in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RippleSwell\/status\/2100311607481905248\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sept. 16 post on X<\/a>, confirming appearances by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, CME Group Chairman and CEO Terrence Duffy, Bullish Chairman and CEO Tom Farley, and Water.org co-founder Matt Damon.<\/p>\n<p>The expanded conference will run from Oct. 27 through Oct. 29 at The Shed in Manhattan. The <a href=\"https:\/\/swell.ripple.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official Swell 2026 website<\/a> lists more than 100 speakers, over 80 sessions, and three stages for an expected audience exceeding 1,500 people. This year\u2019s program combines Ripple\u2019s institutional Swell conference with its developer-focused Apex event for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The official Swell X account described the scope of the newly released program in its announcement:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAcross three stages, the program covers where finance is heading: liquidity and settlement, tokenization of real-world assets, stablecoins in bank-grade production, the first year of the spot XRP ETFs, AI agents that move money, post-quantum security, and David Schwartz on what\u2019s next for the XRP Ledger.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Traditional finance will have a prominent place within those discussions, with speakers representing BNY, Barclays, State Street and Jump Trading. Crypto exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) and Robinhood Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: HOOD) will also participate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\/investor-relations\/management-team.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CME Group Chairman and CEO Terrence Duffy<\/a> will represent one of the conference\u2019s links to established futures, options and clearing markets.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP Ledger Development Moves Into the Institutional Program<\/h2>\n<p>XRP utility will extend beyond exchange trading as the conference examines payments, decentralized finance, interoperability and artificial intelligence. Ripple Chief Technology Officer Emeritus David Schwartz previously outlined those themes while discussing the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ripples-schwartz-highlights-xrp-use-cases-ahead-of-largest-ever-swell-event\/\">growing range of XRP use cases<\/a> ahead of Swell. His scheduled appearance will address what comes next for the XRP Ledger.<\/p>\n<p>Real-world asset tokenization will receive separate attention as financial firms test blockchain infrastructure for issuance, trading, custody and settlement. Ripple has been assembling an <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/ripple-pushes-full-xrpl-stack-as-tokenized-assets-expand\/\">institutional XRPL infrastructure stack<\/a> that connects tokenized funds with stablecoin settlement, liquidity, credit and compliance tools. The agenda\u2019s bank-grade stablecoin sessions place those operational questions alongside broader adoption discussions.<\/p>\n<p>The XRP Ledger is a public blockchain designed to process transactions and support issued assets without relying on proof-of-work mining. XRP functions as its native digital asset and can facilitate liquidity, payments, and transaction fees. The network\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/blockchain-tech\/layer-1s\/what-is-ripple-xrp-ledger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">settlement and tokenization capabilities<\/a> provide the technical foundation for several financial applications appearing across the conference program.<\/p>\n<h2>Spot XRP ETFs Add an Investor-Focused Discussion<\/h2>\n<p>Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will give Swell an investor-facing subject alongside its institutional infrastructure and developer sessions. U.S. spot XRP ETFs had accumulated approximately $1.71 billion in net inflows as of Sept. 18, while their combined net assets stood near $1.39 billion. The products provide brokerage-based XRP exposure without requiring investors to hold the asset directly.<\/p>\n<p>The agenda describes its ETF discussion as an examination of the products\u2019 first year, connecting market demand with custody, liquidity and regulated access. Swell will also address <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-gets-ai-agent-payment-support-in-ripples-xrpl-ai-starter-kit-as-executive-sees-billions-ahead\/\">AI systems that initiate payments<\/a> and post-quantum security, extending the program from current financial products to emerging infrastructure risks. Schwartz\u2019s XRP Ledger session will place those themes within the network\u2019s next stage of development.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/ripple-swell-2026-agenda-goes-live-with-xrp-in-finances-next-wave\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Swell 2026 will examine XRP ETFs, tokenization and settlement.
