Swell 2026

Swell 2026 expects 1,500+ attendees. Its program lists 50+ sessions, 75+ speakers, and three stages.

Swell 2026 is held at The Shed, 545 W 30th St, Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001.

Swell 2026 registration is listed at $600 to $1,500, depending on the pricing tier.

Swell’s published audience includes global founders, C-suite and senior executives from banking, fintech, treasury, and capital markets, plus engineers and architects building on the XRP Ledger and open financial protocols. Financial leaders, fintech founders, developers, and researchers are also named among attendees.

It is most useful for banking, treasury and capital markets executives exploring blockchain-based payments, and for engineers building on the XRP Ledger, since the program is split between those two audiences and is organized by Ripple with more than 1,500 attendees expected. It is a vendor-hosted event, so attendees wanting a neutral view across blockchain ecosystems would get less from it, and the $600 to $1,500 price range suggests the higher tiers matter for access.

Fintech and crypto events in New York usually call for smart casual to business casual, with executives in blazers and developers in jeans and sneakers.
