I donโt think very many people understand how big of a deal Ripple Prime is. Itโs not only going to be a huge business, it gives hedge funds like us unparalleled new tools to engage with markets. Getting onboarded has been one of our highest priorities at @Arrington_Cap for the last few months.
2025, without a doubt, has been an incredible year for @Ripple, and a record year for crypto as a whole. Although we have a couple of months left, this announcement feels like the cherry on top of a mountain of good news:
Today we announced a $500M investment in Ripple, from Fortress Investment Group, @citsecurities, @PanteraCapital, @galaxyhq, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace at a $40B valuation.
This investment isnโt just validation of Rippleโs growth strategy and business built on the foundation of XRP, but also a clear bet on what the future of crypto will look like. Iโm very proud of what weโve built, and all thatโs to come.
Today, Ripple is breaking into the $120T corporate treasury payments market with the $1B acquisition of GTreasury.
The past few years have reminded this industry why payments, first and foremost, is THE primary use case for crypto and blockchain. Payments are where Ripple first started for exactly these reasons โ the infrastructure is complex, siloed and inefficient, but as we know, perfectly positioned to benefit from decentralized financial technologies.
Astounding amounts of cash are trapped in outdated payments systems, creating friction, unnecessary costs, and barriers to entering new markets. GTreasury has been serving some of the most well known brands for decades โ and now together with Ripple, weโll be able to help CFOs manage all their assets, include stablecoins, tokenized deposits, etc at scale around the world, as well as put their idle capital to work with repo markets via Hidden Road.
The opportunity is here, and weโre diving right in. Itโs happening!
