Ripple's annual Swell 2026 conference will be held on October 27 in New York, with representatives from BlackRock and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in attendance. The conference will combine keynote speeches and the Apex developer blockchain project. The market is focused on whether the XRP Ledger (XRPL) infrastructure is becoming a single standard for institutional capital, and whether the visit of Wall Street giants can serve as a major market catalyst.
