- Ripple’s $1B GTreasury deal gives it access to the $120T treasury market, linking blockchain with global corporate finance.
- Ripple strengthens liquidity and speed by merging GTreasury, Hidden Road, and blockchain to unlock faster global payments.
- The GTreasury acquisition helps Ripple connect traditional finance with blockchain, activating idle capital and boosting efficiency.
Ripple has bought GTreasury, a company that helps big businesses manage their money and payments, in a deal worth $1 billion. The company’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, said this move will help Ripple enter the massive $120 trillion corporate payments market.
GTreasury’s software helps major corporations manage liquidity, payments, and cash flow across global markets. It integrates directly with systems like SWIFT and complies with ISO20022 standards, making it a critical part of traditional financial infrastructure. By combining this with Ripple’s blockchain network, the company aims to modernize how corporations move and manage capital.
“For too long, money has been stuck in slow, outdated payments systems and infrastructure,” said Garlinghouse. “Ripple’s and GTreasury’s capabilities together bring the best of both worlds so treasury and finance teams can finally put their trapped capital to work, process payments instantly, and open up new growth opportunities.”
Strengthening Liquidity and Speed with Hidden Road
The acquisition follows Ripple’s earlier purchases of Hidden Road and Standard Custody and Trust, both key pieces in its growing ecosystem. Together, these platforms will allow corporations to unlock idle capital, move funds faster, and manage stablecoins or tokenized deposits in real time. GTreasury CEO Renaat Ver Eecke called the deal a “watershed moment” for the industry, emphasizing how Ripple’s technology can “activate capital” rather than just manage it.
Moreover, Ripple plans to link treasury systems directly to blockchain rails, enabling 24/7 global payments. This means finance teams can earn from the global repo market through prime broker Hidden Road, gaining new yield opportunities.
Additionally, Ripple’s expanding suite of acquisitions reflects its strong financial position and long-term plan to modernize finance through blockchain-powered liquidity and compliance-ready digital assets.
