The White House has officially announced that Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the Presidential Council of Advisors on Digital Assets, will deliver a keynote speech at Ripple Swell 2025, scheduled for November in New York. This event represents the first time a White House representative will appear on stage at a Ripple conference, highlighting a significant step in policy dialogue between the digital asset industry and the U.S. government.
Patrick Witt leads the advisory council established earlier this year to shape federal crypto and blockchain strategy, advocating for a national regulatory framework and collaboration on tokenization and blockchain-fueled finance. His participation signals increased government interest in adopting regulated crypto solutions into the mainstream economy. The conference will also feature other prominent speakers, including Adena Friedman, CEO of Nasdaq, Maxwell Stein from BlackRock, and Scott Lucas from JPMorgan, underscoring the event's strategic importance to both crypto and traditional finance.
This development follows pro-crypto policy moves by the administration in 2025, such as the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve valued at over $17 billion and initiatives to establish transparent regulatory frameworks for stablecoins and tokenized securities. Ripple, with its XRP Ledger enabling low-cost, rapid cross-border payments, is positioning itself as a bridge between blockchain and standard finance, and this event could enhance its role in enterprise-level adoption.
Market analysts and XRP supporters have reacted positively, predicting increased volatility and potential price gains for XRP due to expectations of government collaboration or favorable regulations. The event is poised to influence future U.S. crypto policy and drive institutional adoption globally.
