Pundit Says XRP Investors Do Not Know How Big This Announcement Is, And What Hidden Road Means For Ripple

Source Bitcoinist

A crypto analyst believes that XRP investors are underestimating the importance of a recent announcement by Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Bradley Garlinghouse, which could have major implications for the crypto company. According to the analyst, Ripple’s acquisition of GTreasury, a global industry leader in integrated SaaS treasury, and Hidden Road, a financial powerhouse, could redefine the company’s strategy and strengthen XRP’s position in the global finance sector. 

The Big Announcement XRP Investors Are Overlooking

On Monday, A crypto analyst identified as ‘RiskzTake’ disclosed in an X social media post that most XRP investors have not fully grasped the significance of Ripple’s $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury. The analyst sees Ripple’s announcement as proof that XRP is evolving far beyond its original role as a cross-border payment currency. 

According to him, this new merger positions XRP at the centre of institutional capital movement, powering everything from currency swaps to investments, deposits, and more. He noted that the connection between XRP and institutional liquidity is now more solid than ever. Hidden Road’s involvement, which clears over $3 trillion annually, also provides the essential infrastructure needed to bring all the pieces together.   

Notably, Garlinghouse confirmed the GTreasury deal in an announcement on X, calling it the gateway into a $120 trillion corporate treasury payment market still dominated by outdated systems. He explained that legacy payment infrastructure tends to trap enormous amounts of corporate capital, stifling financial innovation, and this recent acquisition is designed to unlock said trapped liquidity. 

Furthermore, the Ripple CEO noted that GTreasury has been a long-time partner to some of the world’s biggest brands, and now aims to enhance corporate treasury operations by leveraging Ripple’s blockchain expertise to help CFOs integrate stablecoins, tokenized deposits, digital assets, etc. 

Hidden Road’s Role In Ripple’s Next Growth Phase

In an official press release, Ripple outlined its long-term vision for bringing digital assets into corporate treasury management. The company explained that GTreasury’s risk management expertise and established client base will combine with Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure to give corporations real-time control over liquidity and payments. 

With Hidden Road acting as a prime broker, companies will reportedly gain access to the multi-trillion-dollar global repo market, allowing them to use idle capital more efficiently. The acquisition will also enable 24/7, real-time global transactions, which will be faster, cheaper, and more transparent than ever. Together, Ripple and GTreasury plan to offer Fortune 500 treasuries new tools to manage various digital instruments, all backed by regulatory-grade compliance and blockchain-level transparency. 

According to GTreasury CEO Renaat Ver Eecke, the new merger reflects the treasury company’s shift from simply managing capital to deploying it, perfectly aligning with Ripple’s mission to modernize global finance. The deal also marks Ripple’s third major acquisition in 2025, following its purchase of Hidden Road and Rail.
