Ripple Acquires GTreasury for $1 Billion and Plans Major $1 Billion Investment in XRP

Ripple is acquiring the international asset manager GTreasury for $1 billion. The deal will round out its service offerings. Ripple Labs also plans to invest $1 billion in XRP.

Ripple is once again going all-out: After investing $1.25 billion in April to acquire prime broker Hidden Road, the company is now buying the asset manager GTreasury for $1 billion. The two major investments are intended to complement each other, according to a press release.

GTreasury specializes in helping companies optimize cash and liquidity flows using specialized software. Hidden Road, as a prime broker, helps its clients organize stock trading, asset custody, and other financial services. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse enthuses on X about the opportunities presented by the interplay between GTreasury and Hidden Road.

Garlinghouse describes the outlook as enabling CFOs to centrally organize their investment assets, stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, tokenized real assets, and other reserves. He emphasizes that GTreasury is a leading player in a market with a volume of $120 billion.

Ripple Shopping Tour 2025: Hidden Road, GTreasury and Rails

In addition to the acquisitions of GTreasuy and Hidden Road, the crypto company acquired the stablecoin platform Rail for $200 million this year. These investments underscore Ripple’s transformation into a financial services provider . Its own stablecoin, RLUSD, plays a key role in this, enabling, for example, cross-border transactions at any time and with low fees.

Ripple Labs aims to raise $1 billion for XRP purchases

XRP investors are often skeptical about the new targets, as Ripple’s original cryptocurrency is usually only marginally represented there. Now, however, Bloomberg reports that Ripple Labs plans to raise $1 billion to invest in XRP.

This would make Ripple Labs the largest XRP company in the world, emulating Bitcoin companies like Strategy. On the other hand, parent company has XRP reserves with a current market value of more than $60 billion – Ripple Labs will have to explain its tactics in more detail.

Conclusion: Ripple’s future strategy is being implemented step by step

The crypto company Ripple is indeed becoming a broadly positioned financial services provider; at least theoretically, the acquisitions of Hidden Road, GTreasury, and Rails complement each other. This allows Ripple to serve customers in both traditional finance and the blockchain sector, and the acquired service providers bring their international customer bases with them.

This also promises increased importance for the Ripple stablecoin RLUSD. Only XRP seems strangely out of place in this concept; Ripple hasn’t been aggressively promoting its former flagship product for some time. Whether Ripple Labs develops ideas for how XRP reserves can generate returns remains to be seen.
