Raghuram Rajan, who previously headed India's central bank, has joined the roster of speakers for Ripple's Swell 2026 conference in New York, the cryptocurrency and blockchain firm announced. The invitation-only institutional summit is scheduled for October 27, 2026, and will bring together leading figures from finance, technology, and policy sectors.
Rajan's participation underscores growing engagement between traditional financial establishment figures and the blockchain industry. His involvement in such forums reflects broader conversations about the role of digital assets and distributed ledger technology in the future of global finance.
Swell has established itself as a premier gathering for discussions on blockchain innovation and its applications in institutional finance. The conference typically attracts policymakers, financial leaders, and technology experts from across the globe to examine emerging trends and challenges in the sector.
Rajan, who served as RBI governor from 2013 to 2018, has remained a prominent voice in economic policy discussions both in India and internationally since stepping down from his central banking role. His academic background and experience at the International Monetary Fund have made him a sought-after speaker on global economic issues.
