Ripple Swell 2026
Ripple's annual conference, merged with XRPL Apex and moved to Hudson Yards.
About Ripple Swell 2026
Swell is Ripple's annual conference, and the 2026 edition runs 27-29 October at The Shed in Hudson Yards. It merges with XRPL Apex, the XRP Ledger developer summit, so the institutional and builder programmes sit under one roof for the first time.
The agenda centres on cross-border payments, stablecoins, custody and tokenised assets, with banks, payment providers and regulators alongside XRPL developers. Being in New York rather than a crypto hub pulls in more traditional finance attendance than Swell has historically drawn.
The Shed is on West 30th Street at Hudson Yards, on the 7 train and a short walk from Penn Station and the High Line. Chelsea, Hudson Yards and the Garment District are all walkable; Jersey City is one PATH stop away and often much cheaper.
