Ripple's flagship conference, now merged with Apex, lands at The Shed for three days where traditional finance and the onchain economy actually sit in the same room. Speakers include Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, CME Group's Terrence Duffy, Bullish CEO (ex-NYSE) Tom Farley, Matt Damon and leaders from BNY, Coinbase, Robinhood, Barclays and State Street. Three tracks (Institution, Ecosystem, Innovation) cover tokenization of real-world assets, stablecoins in bank-grade production, the first year of spot XRP ETFs, AI agents that move money and post-quantum security. If you are a founder shipping payments, stablecoins, custody or market infrastructure, this is the densest concentration of institutional buyers and crypto-native builders in New York this fall. 1,500 attendees, 75 speakers, 50 sessions.
