Swell, Ripple’s most important event of the year, is currently convening leaders in crypto, payments, banking and policy to discuss what’s ahead for the future of finance.
Ripple President Monica Long shared opening remarks at the conference. In a conversation that set the stage for the Swell 2025 event, Nasdaq Chair and CEO Adena Friedman joined the Ripple president to discuss the transformative potential of digital finance, assets and blockchain.
Other speakers took the stage to discuss on-chain finance. Speaking at Ripple’s Swell 2025, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley indicated that “traditional financial services and crypto are finally coming together.” Kraken Co-CEO David Ripley indicated that stablecoins “are a far superior payment mechanism than anything in traditional finance.”
The Swell event, which kicked off yesterday, is slated for Nov. 4-5, with today’s session likely to cover the expectations of the crypto community.
