Ripple has announced the acquisition of GTreasury, a US-based treasury management systems provider, in a deal valued at US$1 billion.
The acquisition marks Ripple’s expansion into the corporate treasury sector, giving it access to a broad base of large international clients.
GTreasury has over 40 years of experience supporting treasury operations for major global brands.
“For too long, money has been stuck in slow, outdated payment systems and infrastructure, causing unnecessary delays, high costs, and barriers to entering new markets, problems that blockchain technologies are ideally suited to solve,”
said Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO.
“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.”
As digital assets gain traction in global finance, corporate treasurers increasingly need to manage stablecoins, tokenised deposits, and other digital assets at scale.
The acquisition combines Ripple’s digital asset infrastructure with GTreasury’s treasury management expertise to help customers manage and optimise liquidity in real time.
According to both firms, the partnership will enable customers to unlock idle capital through access to the global repo market via prime broker Hidden Road, and to facilitate 24/7 cross-border payments using Ripple’s established payments infrastructure.
“This acquisition is a watershed moment for treasury management,”
said Renaat Ver Eecke, GTreasury CEO.
“We have focused on providing compliant and feature-rich solutions to corporations around the globe. Now, by joining Ripple, we are accelerating our vision from managing capital to activating it.”
GTreasury’s platform is known for its risk management, foreign exchange, and compliance capabilities, which meet high regulatory standards.
This is Ripple’s third acquisition in 2025, following purchases of prime broker Hidden Road and stablecoin platform Rail.
