Matt Damon Joins Ripple's Swell Event Speaker Lineup
Ripple is gearing up for its Swell event on October 27-29, 2026, in New York City. The conference will bring together institutional leaders and fintech innovators from around the world to discuss the latest developments in blockchain technology.
The speaker lineup includes several high-profile names, including Academy Award winner Matt Damon. As a co-founder of water.org, which is also a partner with Ripple, his appearance at the event takes on added significance. Damon's connection to the organization makes his participation more practical than a typical celebrity keynote.
Others set to speak at the event include top Ripple executives such as CEO Brad Garlinghouse and President Monica Long, along with notable figures from the financial and tech industries like Tom Farley of Bullish and Johann Kerbrat of Robinhood. The conference will also feature presentations on the $XRP Ledger and its applications in finance.
