Ripple has launched Ripple Treasury, a groundbreaking platform that enables cross-border settlements in just 3 to 5 seconds using its RLUSD stablecoin. This new service represents a major leap forward in international payment technology, dramatically reducing settlement times compared to traditional wire transfers that typically take 3-5 business days.
The platform integrates GTreasury’s enterprise software with Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure, creating a unified system that streamlines corporate treasury functions for businesses worldwide. This marks Ripple’s first significant product integration following its $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury in October last year.
Today, we're proud to introduce Ripple Treasury, Powered by GTreasury: the world's first comprehensive treasury platform combining 40 years of proven enterprise expertise with cutting-edge digital asset infrastructure.

How Ripple Treasury Transforms Financial Operations
Ripple Treasury combines traditional cash management with digital asset operations in a single cohesive system. This integration solves a major challenge for corporate finance teams who previously had to manage regular money and cryptocurrency through separate systems often relying on cumbersome spreadsheets.
The platform creates direct API integrations that treat digital asset platforms like “digital banks,” allowing balances and transactions to automatically flow into existing workflows. This seamless connection eliminates manual reconciliation processes and reduces the risk of errors.
For companies conducting international business, Ripple Treasury offers a significant competitive advantage. Money that would typically remain tied up for days waiting for bank transfers can now be deployed almost instantly, improving cash flow management and operational efficiency.
The Power of RLUSD Stablecoin
At the heart of Ripple Treasury is RLUSD, Ripple’s first stablecoin solution. RLUSD maintains a 1:1 value with the US dollar and is fully backed by USD fiat and cash equivalents, including U.S. Treasury Bills and government money market funds held at U.S.-based financial institutions.
Ripple ensures transparency through monthly reserve attestations conducted by independent certified public accountants. These attestations detail RLUSD’s reserve holdings, tokens minted and burned, and the circulating supply, providing users with confidence in the stablecoin’s stability.
RLUSD operates as a multi-chain asset, issued natively on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum Mainnet. This dual deployment combines Ethereum’s established ecosystem with the XRP Ledger’s speed, low transaction costs, and scalability, making RLUSD accessible and adaptable within the broader digital finance landscape.
Benefits for Businesses and Financial Institutions
Ripple Treasury offers numerous benefits that address longstanding pain points in corporate finance and treasury management. Companies can now access overnight repo markets and tokenized money market funds like BlackRock’s BUIDL, allowing them to earn yield 24/7 instead of leaving cash idle when banks close.
For financial institutions, the platform provides enhanced liquidity management capabilities, enabling them to optimize capital allocation and reduce operational costs. The near-instantaneous settlement times minimize counterparty risk and improve overall financial stability.
The regulatory foundation of Ripple Treasury further enhances its appeal to institutional users. RLUSD is issued by Standard Custody and Trust Company, LLC, a Ripple subsidiary regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). This regulatory oversight demonstrates Ripple’s commitment to compliance with industry best practices.
Ripple’s Strategic Expansion
Ripple launched Ripple Treasury as part of a broader push to build a full institutional financial stack. The strategy spans payments, custody, liquidity, and treasury management.
First, the GTreasury acquisition added decades of enterprise treasury expertise. Next, Ripple acquired Hidden Road, expanding access to institutional liquidity and repo markets. Together, these moves strengthen Ripple’s position across financial infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Ripple continues to expand its regulated global footprint. The company secured approval for an EMI license in the UK and preliminary approval in Luxembourg. In the U.S., Ripple applied for a national banking license with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in July 2025.
With Ripple Treasury, the company applies regulatory credibility to real-time financial rails. As a result, settlement times drop from days to seconds. This shift targets a core inefficiency in global finance and supports more connected capital flows.
Finally, as institutions adopt digital assets, Ripple Treasury positions itself as core infrastructure. Speed, efficiency, and security now converge at the treasury layer.
