Ripple Labs Purchases GTreasury for $1B

Ripple has acquired GTreasury, a global treasury management platform, in a $1 billion deal that positions the crypto firm as a direct player in the corporate finance and liquidity management space. The acquisition, announced Thursday, opens Ripple’s access to a multi-trillion-dollar market and some of the world’s largest corporate clients.

What’s the Scoop?

• Expanding the Enterprise Footprint: The acquisition will immediately integrate GTreasury’s 40-year legacy in corporate liquidity and cash management with Ripple’s blockchain-based payment and asset infrastructure. The combined platform intends to help company treasuries manage digital assets, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits alongside traditional liquidity instruments in real time.
• Unlocking Idle Capital: Ripple and GTreasury plan to enable corporate clients to earn yields on short-term assets by tapping into the global repo market through prime broker Hidden Road, one of Ripple’s other 2025 acquisitions.
• Real-Time Treasury Infrastructure: Building on Ripple’s global payments network, the partnership will introduce 24/7, near-instant cross-border settlement and real-time liquidity optimization.
• Watershed Moment: GTreasury CEO Renaat Ver Eecke labeled the acquisition as a "watershed moment for treasury management" that will activate capital with new opportunities for treasurers to manage liquidity, payments, and risk in the digital economy.
• String of Purchases: The GTreasury deal follows Ripple’s acquisitions of prime broker Hidden Road and stablecoin platform Rail for $1.25B and $200M, respectively, earlier this year.
