In a world where the air smells of digital gold and the moon is just a Bitcoin chart away, David Ripley of Kraken slithers into the spotlight at Ripple’s Swell 2025. November 3-4, the stage is set for a gladiatorial match of crypto titans, where suits and code warriors clash over the future of money. Or, as the kids call it, “adulting.”
Ripple’s annual shindig-Swell 2025-is less a conference and more a religious pilgrimage. Here, the high priests of crypto, banking, and policy gather to whisper secrets about the next big thing. Or, more likely, argue about whether XRP is a security while sipping overpriced lattes. The anticipation is thick enough to cut with a scalpel, and the crowd’s collective heartbeat syncs to the drumbeat of potential announcements that could send XRP soaring or crashing like a poorly coded smart contract.

The countdown is on – Swell kicks off next week, November 4-5:

Kraken, ever the opportunist, is riding the coattails of Evernorth’s $1 billion XRP treasury. With 95% of their target already in the bag (388 million XRP, to be exact), they’re practically the king of the crypto hill. Or, as the wise ones say, “He who holds the XRP, holds the future.” Or, more likely, a tax problem.
BlackRock, Nasdaq, J.P. Morgan: The Usual Suspects Arrive 🚨
The speaker list reads like a who’s who of the crypto and finance world, minus the who. Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse, Monica Long, and Chris Larsen take center stage, flanked by Adena Friedman of Nasdaq, Carolyn Weinberg of BNY, and a parade of others whose titles sound like they were invented by a thesaurus on acid. There’s even a chef, Jose Andres, probably here to monetize his next meal as NFTs. The air crackles with the scent of potential announcements, though the real drama might be the Wi-Fi trying to handle 10,000 crypto bros tweeting “I told you so.”
And there, lurking in the shadows, are the usual suspects: Maxwell Stein of BlackRock, Cynthia Lo Bessette of Fidelity, and Stani Kulechov of Aave. They’re here to sip champagne and pretend they care about blockchain’s “transformative potential.” Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to buy coffee without a wallet.
