Ripple Swell 2026 to Combine Apex in New York

Ripple announced that registration is open for Ripple Swell 2026, scheduled for Oct. 27–29 in New York City. Ripple Swell 2026 is described as the biggest Swell yet, unifying Swell and the XRPL-focused developer summit XRPL Apex into one program. The event is expected to draw 1,500+ attendees, 75+ speakers, 50+ sessions, and run across three stages. Ripple says the agenda will bring together builders, finance leaders, researchers, retail participants, and the XRP community, alongside press coverage. XRPL Apex is the official global developer summit for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem. In the combined format, Ripple Swell 2026 will cover traditional finance and the on-chain economy, with separate tracks for institutional finance and developer/technical work, including discussions around the XRPL roadmap, smart contracts, and emerging tools. For traders, Ripple Swell 2026 is a sentiment catalyst rather than a protocol change. Watch for any market reaction to Ripple ecosystem news, speaker announcements, or follow-on product/partnership announcements during the run-up to the conference.
