Ripple has acquired the financial management system company GTreasury in a deal worth $1 billion, marking its entry into the expansive multi-trillion-dollar enterprise finance market. This acquisition provides Ripple with access to numerous corporate clients who rely on GTreasury’s extensive experience and track record spanning over four decades. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted the challenges posed by traditional payment systems, which often suffer from delays, high costs, and limited market entry possibilities. He believes blockchain technology offers a transformative solution for these issues. The integration of Ripple’s technological expertise with GTreasury’s capabilities aims to unlock trapped funds, enable real-time payments, and drive new growth opportunities within the financial sector.
