Ripple’s Top Bosses to Appear at Federal Reserve Event

As a seasoned researcher and follower of the fintech industry, I find the upcoming conference hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia particularly intriguing. The lineup of speakers, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, Chris Larsen, and other notable figures like Paul Grewal from Coinbase, Sheila Warren from the Crypto Council for Innovation, Zach Perret from Plaid, and Penny Lee from the Financial Technology Association, promises a rich and insightful discourse on the future of fintech.


Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, along with co-founder Chris Larsen, are slated to attend the eighth yearly fintech gathering organized by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. The event is scheduled for October 22nd and 23rd.

At this gathering, we’ll delve into subjects like digitized savings accounts, converting tangible assets into digital tokens, and how technology in finance is shaping today’s financial environment.

Julapa Jagtiani, a senior economist at FRB Philadelphia, asserts that the purpose of the gathering is to deliberate on the upcoming trajectory of the financial technology sector.

As a researcher, I am part of a diverse team spearheading this event, with members hailing from esteemed institutions such as the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Cambridge, and the Brookings Institution.

Larsen stands out significantly because he seldom attends events like these.

At this event, you’ll find some notable figures such as Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s leading legal advisor, and Sheila Warren, who heads up the Crypto Council for Innovation. Additionally, you can expect appearances from Zach Perret, CEO of Plaid, and Penny Lee, head of the Financial Technology Association.

Before the gathering organized by FRB Philadelphia, Ripple is planning to hold its own Swell conference on October 15th and 16th in Miami, Florida. This will mark the eighth year that the company has hosted this annual event. In the past, they have held it in cities such as Toronto, London, Singapore, and Dubai.

Currently, there are speculations about a possible SEC appeal against the company, with a decision expected from the agency by October 6th.
