Ripple’s most awaited annual event of the year, Swell 2025, is returning, and this time, it’s backed by major names like BlackRock, Nasdaq, and Citibank. In the past, Ripple has used this event to reveal major announcements, and those have often surged the XRP price by almost 50%.
Here’s the list of speakers & what to expect.
Ripple Swell 2025 Heads to New York
Ripple has confirmed that Swell 2025 will take place on November 4–5 at Convene Hudson Yards, New York City. This marks the first time Swell will be held in NYC, signaling Ripple’s growing alignment with traditional finance and Wall Street institutions.
Swell is Ripple’s flagship, invite-only conference that brings together partners, regulators, banks, and blockchain innovators. It serves as a stage for big announcements, product demos, and policy discussions, etc.
Looking back, Swell has consistently drawn high-profile speakers and headlines. From Ben Bernanke and Bill Clinton in earlier years to new product launches like xRapid and Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD, the event has repeatedly stirred investor excitement.
Why Swell 2025 Could Be Bigger Than Ever
This year’s Swell comes at a pivotal time for Ripple. The company has:
Settled its long-standing legal fight with the U.S. SEC, removing a major cloud over XRP.
Completed a $1.25 billion acquisition to grow its enterprise reach.
Applied for a U.S. banking license, aiming to integrate deeper into the regulated financial world.
These milestones suggest Ripple is setting the stage for something bigger, possibly major partnerships, institutional integrations, or new products.
