Ripple Expands With $1B Acquisition of GTreasury: Where Will Ripple Go In 2026? AllinCrypto October 17, 2025
Ripple has announced a $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury, a leader in treasury management systems, marking another acquisition for Ripple after buying Hidden Road in April.
The acquisition is a major step in Ripple’s mission to expand its web3 ecosystem into traditional finance.
GTreasury gives Ripple direct access to a multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury market, integrating its blockchain-powered payment and liquidity solutions into the financial operations of some of the world’s largest corporations.
Hidden Road to Gtreasury: Ripple Is Building a Digital Finance Stack
GTreasury, with 40+ years of serving global firms, provides tools for forecasting and regulatory compliance. Combining GTreasury’s traditional treasury infrastructure with Ripple’s web3 vision and digital asset technologies such as the XRP ledger, Ripple can enable finance teams to manage liquidity, process payments instantly, and unlock capital trapped in outdated systems.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the partnership will “bring the best of both worlds” between traditional custodianship and Ripple, allowing companies to activate dormant capital and move money in real-time across borders.
Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO:
“For too long, money has been stuck in slow, outdated payments systems and infrastructure, causing unnecessary delays, high costs, and roadblocks to entering new markets — problems that blockchain technologies are ideally suited to solve.”

The acquisition of GTreasury follows Ripple’s purchase of Hidden Road, a leading prime brokerage firm and also a stablecoin infrastructure provider. These new acquisitions show Ripple’s strategic plans outlined, aiming to become a crypto powerhouse serving institutional and corporate finance markets.
Hidden Road provided Ripple with a gateway to the global short-term funding markets, enabling treasuries to optimize capital through secure, yield-generating solutions. Now able to be combined with GTreasury’s robust management capabilities, Ripple can offer clients an end-to-end liquidity solution.
This new type of ecosystem that Ripple is creating has the potential to transform how corporations manage capital and liquidity on a large scale, backed by blockchain technology.
By embedding blockchain-based settlement and liquidity tools directly into legacy treasury systems, Ripple is able to bring innovation to digital finance operations heading into 2026.
Unlocking New Utility for XRP and RLUSD
Ripple’s recent moves are not just about enterprise software but a part of expanding the real-world utility of XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD).
With GTreasury integrated into Ripple’s infrastructure, corporations could use XRP for instant global payments, reaching settlement in seconds.
Meanwhile, RLUSD can serve as a bridge stablecoin for treasurers managing multi-currency liquidity around the world.
Like Hidden Road, Ripple went on to integrate the RLUSD stablecoin into the platform, allowing institutions to use the stablecoin as collateral.
Heading into 2026 with Ripple
Adoption of XRP and RLUSD for payments, liquidity management, and short-term funding can come from multiple avenues with Ripple’s recent acquisitions. With XRP ETFs set to launch in Q4 25, the Ripple ecosystem is set for the rest of the year.
Ripple’s acquisition highlights a trend of uniting traditional financial systems with blockchain technology.
Hedera Hashgraph was utilized in tokenizing UK money market funds with Lloyds Bank, Aberdeen Investments, and Archax.
Stellar’s XLM network is an issuer of PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin, with the network allowing for fast, low-cost transactions of the token.
As the digital asset landscape matures, Ripple’s network, now aided by Hidden Road’s liquidity access and GTreasury’s treasury tools, can redefine how corporations move and manage capital globally in 2026.
