Ripple announces that Raghuram Rajan, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, will attend the Swell 2026 Summit Day event and make an appearance during the opening session of the institutional summit. This conference will be held at the end of October in New York, targeting participants from both traditional finance and blockchain industries.
Rajan will attend the opening ceremony.
According to Ripple, Rajan will serve as the opening guest at this year's institutional summit. Public records show that he has previously served as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and is currently a Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, as well as co-leading the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet Policy Working Group.
The conference will be held in New York for three days.
BJW KEEP 2026 will be held in New York from October 27th to 29th at BJW KEEP 2026. BJW KEEP 2026 states that the event will bring together professionals from the traditional finance and blockchain sectors in the same conference setting.

- End time: October 29th
- Venue: New York The Shed
Swell and XRPL Apex merged for the first time
Ripple also indicates that for the first time this year, Swell and XRPL Apex will be held together. The former is usually more geared towards institutional exchanges, while the latter is closer to the XRP Ledger ecosystem developer and community activities.
This adjustment means that Ripple is bringing together institutional topics with the XRPL ecosystem presentation in the same meeting, in an attempt to expand the reach of the event and strengthen connections with participants from traditional finance and on-chain infrastructure.
