Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is set to speak at the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, one of the year’s most influential crypto policy events. He will join SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, Senator Tim Scott, and other industry leaders to discuss the future of digital assets just weeks after Congress returns from its August recess.
The 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium will take place from Aug. 17 to Aug. 20 at the Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The invitation only event is jointly hosted by SALT and crypto exchange Kraken, bringing together around 500 institutional investors, regulators, blockchain founders, and policymakers.

Organizers said the symposium event will focus on three major themes, including,
The Wyoming appearance also adds to Garlinghouse’s busy schedule ahead of Ripple Swell 2026, which will be held in New York City from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29, where Ripple is expected to showcase its latest institutional blockchain and payment initiatives.
