Markus Infanger, an executive at Ripple, will speak at a major XRP event.
Infanger, who is RippleX's senior vice president (SVP), is expected to participate in XRP Seoul 2026, an event hosted by XRP Ledger Korea scheduled for October 3 during KBW (Korea Blockchain Week). This event connects XRP holders, builders, and ecosystem projects worldwide.
The official XRP Seoul 2026 X account announced that Infanger will be among the featured speakers at the event. This follows an earlier announcement in June that Ripple president Monica Long would be among the key speakers at the event.
In making the announcement, the XRP Seoul 2026 team stated it was "honored to welcome" Infanger, highlighting his leadership role in Ripple's contributions to the XRP Ledger.
As SVP of RippleX, Infanger oversees Ripple's work on the XRP Ledger, including product development, partnerships, and growing the developer ecosystem. He is therefore well-positioned to discuss upcoming product developments, including collaborations and advancements in the developer ecosystem.
Korea has long been one of XRP's most active speculative markets, with expectations rising in the XRP community ahead of the event. Currently, XRP is the second most traded asset by volume on Upbit Korea, South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange in terms of both trading volume and customer base.
Momentum builds
Ripple and the XRP Ledger are seeing increased momentum, which is why the timing of the upcoming event matters.
Ripple recently received authorization of its Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from Luxembourg's Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). The authorization confirms Ripple as fully MiCA-compliant, with its solutions underpinned by XRP and RLUSD made available to financial institutions, corporates, and businesses across all 30 countries of the European Economic Area.
The XRP Ledger surpassed 1,000,000 agentic payments via x402 in the past week. The XRPL AI Hub represents a comprehensive new ecosystem platform for builders, users, and enthusiasts, providing a boost for the agentic economy.
