Ripple, the US-based cross-border payment firm that oversees the distribution of the digital token XRP, has hinted at its plan to go ahead with Swell 2020, despite the lockdown initiated by the outbreak of coronavirus in the countries of the world.
Initially, Ripple was to hold the yearly Swell in London this year, but it’s taking a new dimension, as it has carefully considered making this year’s event a virtual conference.
This new development was shared by Curis Wang, the co-founder of blockchain incubator Bitrue Space, via his Twitter handle on 22nd April 2020.
Read the message he received from Ripple below:
“After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to transition Swell Global into an exclusive online experience. Although this a unique way to connect, we are excited about the opportunity to engage with you this fall.”
Guess many things are going virtual for the rest of the year. pic.twitter.com/rBuDeNo2yA
