Ripple has completed a $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury, one of the world’s leading corporate treasury management platforms, in a move that cements its expansion into mainstream finance.

The deal positions Ripple to bridge blockchain infrastructure with global liquidity management and cross-border payments used by some of the world’s largest corporations.

By integrating GTreasury’s network, Ripple aims to give companies real-time control over their funds, streamline global transactions, and unlock capital tied up in slow traditional systems. CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the merger will “modernize the arteries of global finance,” describing outdated treasury systems as a bottleneck for corporate efficiency.

GTreasury’s chief executive Renaat Ver Eecke called the partnership a “defining moment,” adding that combining Ripple’s blockchain capabilities with GTreasury’s compliance tools will help firms make their capital work smarter.

The deal marks Ripple’s third major acquisition in 2025, following its purchases of Hidden Road and Rail, both part of its plan to connect traditional finance with blockchain-based infrastructure.

Ripple’s collaboration with Securitize and the rollout of its RLUSD stablecoin further strengthen its presence in the institutional finance space.

With GTreasury under its wing, Ripple now stands at the forefront of a growing movement to merge blockchain technology with corporate treasury systems — reshaping how money moves at the enterprise level.
