Ripple just spent $1 billion to purchase GTreasury, a corporate treasury management firm. This is the company’s third major acquisition in 2025 alone, and all involve TradFi-related infrastructure.
After Ripple gains access to the company’s full capabilities, it plans to bring blockchain innovations to a multi-trillion-dollar market sector.

Ripple has been trying to become a bank for a few months now, applying for a US banking license and partnering with major TradFi banks.
Today’s newest announcement may substantially advance that goal, as Ripple just acquired GTreasury, a corporate treasury management firm.
According to the company’s press release, this GTreasury acquisition will allow Ripple to expand into the corporate treasury market.
This multi-trillion-dollar sector is a real cornerstone of TradFi ecosystems, with the world’s largest corporations involved. Now, Ripple may be bringing blockchain innovation to the industry.
“For too long, money has been stuck in slow, outdated payments systems….problems that blockchain technologies are ideally suited to solve Ripple’s and GTreasury’s capabilities together bring the best of both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,” claimed Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
GTreasury is just one of Ripple’s major finance-related acquisitions this year. The firm acquired Hidden Road to obtain a broker-dealer license a few months ago and bought a stablecoin payments processor in August.
Combining all these ingredients will give Ripple a lot of the crucial infrastructure to make a real splash in TradFi.
