<a href="https://x.com/Ripple/status/1826364164643926502">Ripple</a> has unveiled an impressive lineup of speakers for its upcoming Ripple Swell 2024 event, drawing from across the blockchain, fintech and payments industries. This year’s event scheduled to be held in Miami, Florida, Oct. 15-16 would feature some of the most respected names in the industry.
<blockquote>

</blockquote> 
Leading the charge is Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who has been at the forefront of Ripple’s efforts to revolutionize cross-border payments using blockchain technology. His insights are eagerly anticipated given Ripple's recent advancements in the SEC lawsuit and the progress of the Ripple (RLUSD) stablecoin, as well as the company’s future direction.
The <a href="https://u.today/ripple-lawsuit-sec-drops-pivotal-filing-heres-what-might-follow">Ripple-SEC lawsuit </a>reached a major milestone earlier in August when Judge Torres slashed about 94% of the SEC's demand, ordering Ripple to pay a $125 million civil penalty, effectively putting an end to the nearly four-year-long battle.
The Ripple CEO hailed the decision as "a victory for Ripple, the industry and the rule of law," adding that the "SEC’s headwinds against the whole of the XRP community are gone."
In another significant milestone, Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin has launched in private beta on XRP Ledger and Ethereum mainnet.
