What is Ripple's Swell 2026 conference in New York City about?

The full answer

What is Swell?

Swell is a conference hosted by Ripple. Yahoo Finance reported on November 6, 2025 that the 2025 edition had just concluded and that CEO Brad Garlinghouse detailed the company’s vision for 2026 there [1]. That is the only detail about the event series this page can currently source.

This page does not carry confirmed dates, venue or agenda for the 2026 New York edition, so it describes only the 2025 precedent.

What is known about the 2026 edition in New York City?

The question concerns a 2026 event in New York City. As of October 6, 2026, this page has no checked source for its dates, venue, speakers or session count. Figures that circulate for the event are unconfirmed, so I leave them out.

What should a reader expect it to cover?

Talks at a company conference are company statements. They describe plans, products and partnerships, and they are not independent evidence that any of them is live. Background on what Ripple sells today is on the page about what Ripple does today. The company’s purchases, which often feature in its conference messaging, are covered in what Ripple has bought.

What is the critical view?

Critics argue that Ripple’s recent strategy leans on products that do not need XRP. The page on whether Ripple is abandoning XRP sets out that argument and the evidence on both sides. Announcements at Swell should be read against it.
