Ripple Completes $1 Billion GTreasury Acquisition in Major Treasury Push

Ripple announced Thursday it has acquired GTreasury, a leading treasury management provider, for $1 billion. The deal represents the company’s third major purchase in 2025 and opens up access to the multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury market.

The acquisition brings together Ripple’s blockchain payment technology with GTreasury’s four decades of experience serving Fortune 500 companies.

Chicago-based GTreasury currently provides treasury operations support to some of the world’s largest corporations through its risk management and foreign exchange solutions.

🔥UPDATE: from my prediction @Ripple just made a $1B power move 👀 By acquiring GTreasury, they’re not just entering the corporate treasury space, they’re bringing XRPL to Fortune 500 finance teams managing TRILLIONS in capital.

What This Means for Corporate Treasury

The combined company will help businesses unlock idle capital through access to global repo markets via Hidden Road, the prime broker Ripple acquired for $1.25 billion in April. Companies will also gain the ability to process cross-border payments instantly using Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure.

“Money has been stuck in slow, outdated payment systems for too long,” said Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse in a statement. “Treasury and finance teams can finally put their trapped capital to work and process payments instantly.”

GTreasury CEO Renaat Ver Eecke called the deal a “watershed moment” for treasury management, noting that the merger accelerates their shift from simply managing capital to actively putting it to work. The company’s platform already meets strict regulatory standards for compliance and audit frameworks.

Ripple’s Aggressive Expansion Strategy

This marks Ripple’s third acquisition in 2025 alone. After purchasing Hidden Road in April, the company bought stablecoin platform Rail for $200 million in August. These moves come despite the recent departure announcement of CTO David Schwartz, who helped create the XRP ledger.

The GTreasury deal still needs regulatory approval but is expected to close in the coming months. Once complete, it will give Ripple direct relationships with many of the world’s largest corporations—a significant advantage as more businesses explore digital assets for treasury operations.

The acquisition also positions Ripple to capitalize on growing corporate interest in stablecoins and tokenized deposits. As traditional companies look for ways to manage these new digital assets at scale, Ripple’s combined infrastructure could become the go-to solution for enterprise treasury needs.
