What we do
Wave of Innovation is an independent non-profit events and media organisation that runs XRP Ledger events across the UK and APAC.
We produce conferences and programs that bring together banks, fintech teams, developers, and the wider XRP community across Sydney, London, and global financial hubs.
Our events
Wave of Innovation has already delivered two flagship events of its own, 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 Australia 2026 — 400 attendees, 11 sponsors at Crown Towers Sydney, with Brad Garlinghouse, Monica Long, and David Schwartz on stage.
From the stage — XRP Australia 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 Australia 2026
