Ripple Labs strengthens its position as a key influencer by sponsoring the Digital Euro Conference 2024, solidifying strategic connections. The Digital Euro Association (DEA) enthusiastically announces Ripple Labs as the main sponsor for the #DEC24 event.
The DEA celebrates Ripple’s participation, expressing joy by stating, “We are thrilled to have Ripple on board as the gold sponsor for the Digital Euro Conference (#DEC24)! Join us on February 29, 2024, and meet industry leaders.”
This new partnership places the fintech company alongside Ernst & Young, one of the “Big 4” and a prominent entity in global auditing, as the exclusive main sponsors of the event.

Ripple Takes Center Stage at the Digital Euro Conference 2024
Scheduled for February 29, 2024, at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, the conference will delve into various aspects of digital money, addressing topics such as CBDCs, stablecoins, and commercial bank money tokens (CBMTs). The event aims to explore the future of money as economies and payment systems shift towards digital platforms.
The conference’s schedule will address crucial topics, encompassing the present status and blueprint of the digital euro, legal aspects, cross-border transactions involving Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and the intricate relationships among CBDCs, stablecoins, and Cryptocurrency Business Models and Tokens (CBMTs).
Distinguished speakers headlining the event comprise Basak Toprak (Onyx by JP Morgan), Tao Sun (IMF), Alexandre Stervinou (Banque de France), Sonja Davidovic (BIS Innovation Hub), Anikó Szombati (Central Bank of Hungary), Miguel Fernández Ordóñez (Former Governor of the Bank of Spain), Joachim Schwerin (EU Commission), Kai Leichsenring (Citi Bank), along with other representatives from noteworthy financial institutions and regulatory bodies.
The symposium is custom-designed to cater to a broad spectrum of participants, encompassing bankers, investors, emerging businesses, financial institutions, and professionals specializing in law, regulatory affairs, and digitization. Attendees are presented with a distinct opportunity to glean valuable insights from trailblazing figures in the industry and influential policymakers leading the charge in the realm of digital currency innovation.
Functioning as a thought hub with a focus on crypto assets, stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and various manifestations of digital currency, the Digital Economy Association (DEA) assumes a pivotal role in fostering the exchange of knowledge and promoting a deeper public comprehension within the digital money landscape. Ripple’s active participation as a prominent member of the DEA stands as a clear affirmation of its dedication to shaping the trajectory of digital currencies for the future.
Ripple’s notable contribution to a DEA whitepaper on CBDCs and privacy was highlighted in March 2023. Additionally, Ripple’s active participation in the National Bank of Georgia’s digital Lari pilot project was acknowledged by the DEA in November 2023.
By aligning with key financial players and making substantial contributions to fundamental discussions about the future of money, Ripple solidifies its influential role in the world of digital finance today.
