Ripple's annual Swell conference begins on October 27 at The Shed in Manhattan, featuring over 100 speakers from the financial sector,

The event combines three previously separate tracks - finance, development, and research - into a unified program, reflecting Ripple's strategic focus on integrating blockchain technology with traditional financial systems.
Discussions will cover key topics including digital asset markets, stablecoin innovation, and the future of blockchain infrastructure. This aligns with Ripple's broader mission to position XRP Ledger as a core component of the evolving financial ecosystem.
While the event showcases Ripple's expanding influence, the XRP token has seen a slight decline of 1.37% in the past 24 hours, mirroring the broader market trend. At $1.29 per token, XRP's market cap stands at $81.51 billion.
The cryptocurrency market as a whole is experiencing a downturn, with the total market cap at $2.74 trillion and 
Bitcoin down 1.53% in the same period. The Fear & Greed index remains at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹130.12 (about $1.29), down 1.8% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.0% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
