Markus Infanger, Senior Vice President of RippleX, will speak at XRP Seoul 2026 on October 3 during Korea Blockchain Week. The event, organized by XRP Ledger Korea, connects global XRP holders, builders, and ecosystem projects. Infanger's participation follows the earlier announcement that Ripple President Monica Long would also be a key speaker.
Infanger's Role and Expectations
As SVP of RippleX, Infanger oversees product development, partnerships, and the growth of the XRP Ledger developer ecosystem. The XRP Seoul 2026 team said it was "honored to welcome" him, noting his leadership in Ripple's contributions to the ledger. Attendees expect discussions on upcoming product developments, collaborations, and ecosystem advancements.
Korea remains a key market for XRP. On Upbit, South Korea's largest exchange, XRP is the second most traded asset by volume. The XRP community is watching closely for any announcements that could shape the asset's trajectory.
Growing Momentum on Multiple Fronts
Ripple recently secured a Crypto Asset Service Provider license from Luxembourg's CSSF, confirming full MiCA compliance. This allows Ripple to offer solutions backed by XRP and RLUSD across all 30 European Economic Area countries. Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger surpassed 1,000,000 agentic payments via the x402 protocol in the past week. The XRPL AI Hub, a new ecosystem platform, is also boosting the agentic economy for builders and users.
Infanger's appearance at XRP Seoul 2026 comes at a time of heightened activity for both Ripple and the XRP Ledger, with the event likely to provide further clarity on the network's direction.
