Ripple closed the acquisition of GTreasury for $1 billion, marking its third major deal in 2025 after purchasing Hidden Road for $1.25 billion and the stablecoin platform Rail for $200 million.
The deal aims to expand Ripple’s access to the global corporate treasury market, facilitate real-time cross-border payments, and optimize capital management for large enterprises.
What GTreasury Brings
Headquartered in Chicago, GTreasury brings more than forty years of experience supporting treasury operations for international brands, offering widely recognized solutions in risk management, foreign exchange, compliance, and audit frameworks.
GTreasury’s platform will allow Ripple to integrate advanced treasury capabilities with its blockchain infrastructure, enabling clients to process instant payments, unlock capital trapped in traditional systems, and access the multi-trillion-dollar repo market through prime broker Hidden Road.
Brad Garlinghouse explained that corporate capital has long been immobilized in slow and costly systems, limiting access to new markets and causing unnecessary delays. Combining Ripple’s and GTreasury’s capabilities will allow finance teams to optimize capital usage, reduce costs, and unlock new growth opportunities.
The first phase of the integration will focus on cross-border payments and short-term asset performance. Subsequently, the offering is expected to expand into corporate products that combine treasury and blockchain, enhancing interoperability and efficiency in financial management. GTreasury considers this acquisition a “watershed moment,” as it allows companies to move from simply managing capital to actively deploying it for real returns.
Ripple Is Building a New Financial Ecosystem
Ripple aims to create a robust ecosystem connecting payment solutions, stablecoins, and advanced financial services, establishing its presence in high-value corporate markets. The initiative aligns with the pursuit of greater regulatory clarity and efficiency in the financial industry, a challenge the company has actively addressed through litigation and dialogue with authorities.
The formal closing of the deal is expected in the coming months. Until then, Ripple will continue positioning itself as a key player in modernizing corporate treasury management and advancing blockchain adoption
