Ripple acquires GTreasury for $1 billion to manage assets

Ripple has acquired GTreasury for $1 billion to integrate digital asset management and challenge SWIFT.

The deal gives the company technology to work with corporate treasuries, including stablecoins and tokenized deposits, which can be used to generate client profits.

GTreasury provides tools for corporate liquidity management. Combined with Ripple’s blockchain solutions, the company will be able to conduct international transfers 24/7 and with near-instantaneous clearing.

“For too long, money has been stuck in slow and expensive systems. Blockchain can change that,” said Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

Ripple’s Third Acquisition in 2025

The GTreasury acquisition is the company’s third deal this year, following the $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road and Rail, a stablecoin platform.

The moves demonstrate the convergence of traditional and digital finance, with Ripple acting as a bridge between the two.

Partnerships to Expand Global Presence

The company has been actively pursuing deals with major banks and funds:

Spain’s BBVA has chosen Ripple as a custodian to store clients’ digital assets.
Franklin Templeton and DBS Bank have signed a memorandum of understanding to launch tokenized trading services on the XRP Ledger.

In Bahrain, Ripple is working with Fintech Bay to integrate its RLUSD stablecoin into the local financial ecosystem.

Ripple challenges SWIFT

With new acquisitions and partnerships, Ripple is gradually creating an alternative to the SWIFT interbank system, which has been used for decades for international payments.

The company aims to build a modern global infrastructure where liquidity, tokenized deposits, and stablecoins operate as a single financial network.
