- Ripple’s Swell 2025 unites finance and policy leaders to discuss digital asset regulation.
- RLUSD stablecoin surpasses $1B market cap within a year of launch.
- XRP community watches for ETF signals and product updates from Ripple.
Ripple’s flagship Swell Conference returned to New York City on November 4–5, bringing together financial leaders, policymakers, and blockchain innovators to discuss the next phase of digital asset adoption. This year’s gathering arrives at a pivotal moment for Ripple — just as optimism rises around a potential XRP ETF and its RLUSD stablecoin crosses a $1 billion market cap.
Ripple CEO and Policymakers Address Regulation
A highlight of Swell 2025 is a keynote conversation between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and top U.S. policymakers. Their discussion centers on how balanced regulation can enable responsible crypto innovation. With the digital asset industry under increasing regulatory scrutiny, Garlinghouse’s insights could shape how institutions view blockchain adoption in traditional finance.
Sessions throughout the two-day event cover cross-border payments, stablecoins, tokenization, and enterprise blockchain integration — all areas where Ripple has invested heavily over the past year.
Institutional Adoption and Real-World Tokenization
This year’s Swell emphasizes the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and Ripple’s expanding product suite for institutions. Following the company’s acquisition of GTreasury, Ripple has been strengthening its enterprise offerings and payment corridors, particularly in treasury and liquidity management.
Participants are also keen to hear updates on the XRP Ledger’s technical progress and upcoming integrations. These developments could have near-term implications for XRP’s price, especially given the timing of the event and the broader anticipation around a possible ETF approval.

RLUSD Stablecoin Reaches $1B in First Year
Ripple’s momentum extends beyond XRP. The company’s RLUSD stablecoin recently surpassed a $1 billion market cap — a major milestone achieved in just one year. Ripple’s partnership with Bahrain’s Fintech Bay aims to expand RLUSD’s reach across the Gulf region, reinforcing its growing presence in institutional payments.
With Swell 2025 focusing on regulatory clarity, institutional growth, and real-world adoption, Ripple appears determined to strengthen its global position. Any major announcements from the conference could set the tone for XRP’s trajectory in the months ahead.
