Ripple Acquires GTreasury for $1 Billion

Ripple aims to expand its corporate payment and liquidity solutions by acquiring the global treasury management giant GTreasury for 1 billion dollars. This is considered one of the biggest corporate moves of 2025. The blockchain-based payment company seeks to combine its digital asset infrastructure with GTreasury's expertise to offer customers instant cross-border payments and opportunities to optimize their idle capital.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated about this merger, “The fact that money is still tied to old and slow systems hinders entry into new markets. With the merger of Ripple and GTreasury, finance teams will be able to utilize their idle capital efficiently and make payments instantly.” This strategic step is also aimed at providing comprehensive solutions for multinational companies' digital asset management processes.

The over 40 years of treasury management experience of GTreasury will, when combined with Ripple’s digital asset infrastructure, enable companies to achieve real-time liquidity management. This way, companies will be able to make uninterrupted cross-border payments 24 hours a day. Additionally, Ripple plans to provide access to global repo markets through prime broker Hidden Road, allowing customers to earn additional income from their short-term assets.

GTreasury CEO Renaat Ver Eecke emphasized that this merger will go beyond merely managing capital to making it active. Ver Eecke stated, “Together with Ripple’s network and digital asset solutions, treasurers will be able to manage liquidity and risk much more effectively in the new digital economy.”

This acquisition marks Ripple’s third major purchase in 2025. Previously, Ripple integrated Hidden Road and stablecoin platform Rail into its portfolio, and now it reinforces its strong balance sheet and leadership in corporate blockchain solutions with the 1 billion dollar GTreasury deal. The completion of the agreement is expected in the coming months, pending necessary regulatory approvals.
