The post Ripple is Building the Future of Finance with XRP Treasury, Says John Deaton appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
On October 16, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced the company’s $1.25 billion acquisition of GTreasury, a leading global corporate treasury management firm.
The deal aims to integrate Ripple’s blockchain-powered payment and settlement technology with GTreasury’s cash and liquidity management systems, enabling CFOs worldwide to manage stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and idle capital more efficiently.
This move represents a significant step in bridging traditional finance with decentralized blockchain solutions.
Ripple’s Strategic Acquisition
Crypto lawyer and advocate John Deaton commented on Ripple’s bold expansion:
“This is Ripple’s seventh major acquisition, and it shows they are building an end-to-end financial infrastructure, spanning treasury dashboards to on-chain settlements.”
Over the past two years, Ripple has strategically acquired:
- Hidden Road ($1.25B) – Prime brokerage and multi-asset clearing firm
- Rail ($200M) – Stablecoin infrastructure and backend automation platform
- Metaco ($250M) – Institutional custody and tokenization provider
- Standard Custody & Trust – Regulated trust backbone for stablecoins
- Algrim – Trading and liquidity engineering company
Deaton added that CEO Garlinghouse’s vision is far from complete, calling Ripple’s strategy a:
“Massive buildout of a new-age financial ecosystem.”
XRP Treasury Expansion
Industry analysts have noted that GTreasury is not just another acquisition. Bill Morgan, a financial analyst, warned:
“While the acquisition strengthens Ripple’s infrastructure, it doesn’t mean XRP’s price will instantly surge. XRP still correlates with Bitcoin and broader crypto market trends.”
Meanwhile, analyst Mr. Man explained the operational advantage of the deal:
“GTreasury acts like a corporate version of a RippleNet endpoint, handling liquidity, FX, and derivatives internally. Ripple then facilitates settlement between institutions. With GTreasury’s existing connections to SWIFT, bank APIs, and payment networks, Ripple positions itself directly within the systems that power global finance, while adhering to BIS and Basel III standards.”
This strategic integration positions Ripple as a central player in global corporate treasury management, leveraging blockchain technology to streamline institutional liquidity, tokenized cash management, and cross-border settlements.
Ripple Bridges Traditional Finance and Blockchain
With this acquisition, Ripple continues its trajectory to reshape the global financial ecosystem, combining decentralized finance (DeFi) principles with established corporate treasury processes.
The company’s expanding suite of acquisitions underlines a long-term goal: creating a seamless bridge between traditional finance, blockchain settlements, and institutional-grade crypto infrastructure.
“Ripple is not just growing; it’s building the financial rails of the future,” said Deaton.
