Ripple Brings Finance Giants Together at Swell 2026

Ripple's Swell 2026 conference is shaping up to be a major event in the world of crypto and finance, with a lineup that includes some of the biggest names in the industry. The conference will bring together senior executives from BNY Mellon, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), TD Securities, and Robinhood, among others, to discuss topics such as tokenized assets, stablecoins, and institutional adoption.

BNY's Laide Majiyagbe will be discussing how tokenized money-market funds, stablecoins, liquidity, and settlement are changing the way institutions operate. This is particularly relevant given that Ripple has selected BNY as the primary custodian for its RLUSD reserves in 2025, with reserves recently reaching $2.53 billion.

ICE will also be represented by Michael Blaugrund, who will be discussing institutional adoption of tokenized equities, onchain funds, and collateral. TD Securities' Elizabeth St-Onge will join a discussion on stablecoin issuers versus consortium-based models, which is closely tied to Ripple's growing stablecoin business.

Robinhood's Johann Kerbrat will join Ripple President Monica Long in discussing how retail and institutional access to digital assets are converging. With over 1,500 participants expected at the conference, Swell 2026 is set to be a major event in the crypto and finance world.
