Ripple has announced a $1 billion deal to acquire GTreasury, a leading treasury management software firm. The move strengthens Ripple’s position in blockchain-based corporate finance, adding treasury management expertise and access to major enterprise clients on a global scale.

Ripple Purchases GTreasury in $1 Billion Deal

Today, Ripple announced the acquisition of global treasury management leader GTreasury in a $1 billion deal, marking its latest step in traditional finance. The acquisition underscores Ripple’s growing influence in the financial services space as it aims to integrate blockchain technology with corporate liquidity and risk management operations.

The move positions Ripple at the center of a multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury market, giving it access to some of the world’s largest companies and their financial departments. GTreasury, with over forty years of experience in cash management, has built a strong reputation for helping multinational corporations manage risk, liquidity, and payments across global markets.

Building a Full Blockchain-Powered Finance Platform

The company’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, described the acquisition as a major step toward solving long-standing inefficiencies in global payments. He noted that traditional systems have kept capital locked in outdated networks, leading to delays and high costs that limit market access. Garlinghouse added that the integration of Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure with GTreasury’s treasury tools will allow companies to unlock idle capital, send payments instantly, and operate with greater efficiency across borders.

Renaat Ver Eecke, the CEO of GTreasury, called the acquisition a “watershed moment” for treasury management. He explained that combining GTreasury’s expertise in compliance and risk management with Ripple’s blockchain network would empower finance teams to manage liquidity and payments in real time.

GTreasury’s systems are already known for their compliance and audit frameworks, which meet the highest regulatory standards. With Ripple’s blockchain technology added to that foundation, the company aims to offer faster and more transparent transaction capabilities to enterprise clients worldwide.

Ripple’s Global Expansion

Ripple’s acquisition strategy in 2025 reflects a strong push to build a full digital financial ecosystem. Earlier this year, in April, the company acquired prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, and then in August, it acquired stablecoin platform Rail for $200 million. Together, these acquisitions form the foundation of a comprehensive blockchain-powered finance platform that connects payments, liquidity, and digital asset management.

This acquisition also aligns with Ripple’s broader global expansion strategy. In Southern Africa, the firm partnered with Absa Bank to introduce institutional-grade digital asset custody, giving banks and clients secure access to tokenized assets. Ripple also gained regulatory approval for its RLUSD stablecoin in Dubai, strengthening its presence in the Middle East alongside its collaboration with Bahrain Fintech Bay. These milestones reflect Ripple’s commitment to building a compliant, interconnected digital finance network across emerging and established markets.

While Ripple announced its official purchase of GTreasury today, the purchase is still pending regulatory approval, and the acquisition is set to close in the coming months. Once completed, it will strengthen Ripple’s position as a leader in enterprise blockchain solutions and broaden its ability to serve as a bridge between traditional finance and the digital economy.
