Ripple’s $1B GTreasury Acquisition Sparks Corporate Treasury Revolution

Ripple has announced its $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury, a treasury management software leader serving Fortune 500 firms, marking its third major deal in 2025.

This move signals Ripple’s aggressive expansion beyond XRP cryptocurrency into traditional finance infrastructure, targeting corporate treasury departments managing trillions in cash liquidity daily.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse emphasized the shift away from outdated payment systems, framing this integration as the fusion of traditional treasury operations with blockchain innovation to unlock trapped capital.

"Money has been stuck in slow, outdated systems, causing delays and high costs," Garlinghouse said. "Together, Ripple and GTreasury bring the best of both worlds, enabling treasury teams to deploy capital efficiently".​

Aligning Blockchain with Corporate Treasury

GTreasury, established for over forty years, provides solutions for cash forecasting, risk management, compliance, and foreign exchange to major corporate finance departments.

The acquisition grants Ripple direct access to GTreasury’s existing client base, including large Fortune 500 treasury operations.

Ripple plans to integrate its blockchain payment technology gradually, allowing clients to maintain current functions while transitioning toward digital asset usage.

GTreasury CEO Renaat Ver Eecke pointed to this partnership as an evolution for treasury operations in a "new digital economy," where stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchain-based settlements become standard in managing liquidity.

Ripple is strategically positioned to support this transition, linking GTreasury clients with Hidden Road’s prime brokerage and Rail’s stablecoin payment platform, the company’s earlier 2025 acquisitions.​

This integration anticipates corporate treasurers’ adoption of blockchain for real-time payments, short-term asset yield, and enhanced liquidity management.

The combination aims to reduce operational friction while embracing emerging digital asset tools.

Capitalizing on Regulatory Clarity and Strategic Expansion

Ripple’s acquisition spree, fueled by XRP reserves and operational revenue, follows its partial legal victory against the SEC that eased investor concerns around XRP secondary market sales.

This regulatory progress gave Ripple the confidence to deploy capital aggressively in 2025, including the $1.25 billion purchase of prime broker Hidden Road and $200 million acquisition of Rail.

Despite ongoing litigation, Ripple navigates towards a hybrid model where blockchain and conventional treasury management intersect.

The $1 billion GTreasury deal positions Ripple at the forefront of digital infrastructure adoption in corporate finance, aiming to modernize liquidity flows and payment systems for some of the world’s largest companies.​

The acquisition, pending regulatory approval, is expected to close within months.

This marks a significant leap for Ripple beyond cryptocurrency, into the heart of corporate treasury operations.
