Wave of Innovation

Connecting Communities, Institutions, Builders and Regulators.

UK & APAC XRP Ledger events: conferences and events connecting institutions, builders, and communities across London, Sydney, and the wider ecosystem.

What we do

Wave of Innovation is a fintech innovation network focused on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), digital assets, blockchain, and institutional finance.

We produce conferences and programs that bring together banks, fintech teams, developers, and the wider XRP community across Sydney, London, and global financial hubs.

We've done this twice before

Wave of Innovation has already delivered this event across Sydney and the Gold Coast, welcoming 700 attendees from the global XRP community, and now connects its APAC institutional network directly to London. This is the next market for a working playbook.

  • XRP Gold Coast 2024 — 300 attendees, 20 sponsors at Royal Pines Resort. Ripple sponsored, John Deaton headlined.
  • XRP Sydney 2026 — 400 attendees, 11 sponsors at Crown Towers Sydney, with Brad Garlinghouse, Monica Long, and David Schwartz on stage.

From the stage — XRP Sydney 2026

I've got to start with a shout-out to the Wave of Innovation team. This has just been an amazing event. It's this event, it's these people, it's just incredible.

— David Schwartz, Emeritus CTO, Ripple — XRP Sydney 2026
