Ripple executives join BlackRock and IMF at global finance summits

Ripple Labs is participating in high-level global finance discussions across two major events. At the Ripple Swell 2026 conference in New York, executives from BlackRock and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are scheduled to speak during the invite-only Platinum Summit. Key sessions include a panel on digital asset strategies featuring BlackRock’s director of digital assets, Max Stein, and a discussion on accelerating stablecoin adoption featuring Tobias Adrian of the IMF.

Additionally, Ripple participated in the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok. During these meetings, Ripple’s policy lead, Rahul Advani, joined a panel hosted by the Atlantic Council GeoEconomics Center to discuss tokenized settlement markets. The discussions focused on how regulation, stablecoins, and cross-border payments integrate into the future financial system, specifically addressing the need for regulatory alignment and mutual recognition of digital assets across different jurisdictions.
