Ripple's 10th annual Swell conference kicked off with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussing the future of cryptocurrency regulation. The event marks a significant milestone for the company, which has been at the forefront of blockchain technology and digital payments.
During the conference, Ripple announced expanded partnerships with Robinhood and BNY Mellon. These collaborations involve the use of Ripple's RLUSD, 
XRP, and the XRP Ledger, underscoring the growing adoption of Ripple's technology by major financial institutions. According to DeFiLlama, Robinhood's total value locked (TVL) stands at $622.68M, while the circulating supply of RLUSD is $2.58B.
The conference also touched on the regulatory landscape, with Bessent suggesting that the US Treasury could collaborate with the SEC and CFTC on cryptocurrency rules following the failure of the CLARITY Act. This highlights the ongoing efforts to create a clear regulatory framework for the crypto industry.
In the market, XRP has seen a 1.67% increase in price over the past 24 hours, with its market cap reaching $84.05B. Meanwhile, RLUSD has remained relatively stable, with a price of $1 and a market cap of $2.6B. The overall crypto market cap is $2.79T, with 
Bitcoin up 1.73% in the last 24 hours and the Fear & Greed Index at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
The developments at the Ripple Swell conference signal the company's strategic focus on expanding its partnerships and navigating the complex regulatory environment. As the conference continues, it will be important to watch for further announcements and discussions that could shape the future of Ripple and the broader crypto industry.

The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹132.56 (about $1.32), up 1.7% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.5% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
