XRP Seoul 2026 will convene investors, developers, and financial services representatives to explore blockchain applications for lending, asset tokenization, and digital asset protection. The conference takes place October 3 at Grand Hyatt Seoul during Korea Blockchain Week, with Ripple as title sponsor.
Host XRPL Korea announced its fourth speaker lineup on September 29, adding Datavault AI, SOIL, Firelight, Axelar, RedStone, and Midnight to the program. Ripple President Monica Long, Datavault AI CEO Nathaniel T. Bradley, and SOIL co-founder Nicholas Motz are among confirmed speakers. The event website lists more than 3,000 participants, over 40 speakers, and upwards of 200 participating companies.
Tokenization and Yield Applications
Tokenization connects traditional financial assets with blockchain systems by representing ownership or contractual claims through digital tokens. Real-world assets can include bonds, property, fund shares, and private credit.
SOIL manages investment strategies for blockchain-based pools of deposited funds and offers yield on XRP and RLUSD, Ripple's stablecoin designed to track the U.S. dollar. According to company figures, XRP deposits reached approximately $30 million from more than 3,000 depositors by mid-September.
Firelight, built on the Flare blockchain, uses staking to provide capital backing against technical and economic risks. The platform surpassed 50 million XRP staked in March and announced an $8 million seed round led by Gumi Cryptos Capital in August.
Infrastructure and Privacy
Axelar focuses on moving tokens between networks. It provided the initial connection for the XRPL EVM Sidechain in June 2025, a separate network supporting Ethereum-compatible applications.
RedStone, an oracle provider, supplies blockchain applications with external information such as prices. Midnight is a blockchain designed to protect sensitive information. In March, Monument Bank partnered with Midnight with a first-phase target of up to 250 million pounds in deposits represented by tokens, with each token corresponding one-to-one with funds held at the bank.
