Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP and stablecoin RLUSD, is rapidly earning fame in the crypto realm, specifically after ending its long legal battle. The crypto firm is already on its mission to bridge traditional onchain ecosystems, and it has acquired four fintech firms to build a one-stop digital asset infrastructure.
Four major fintechs will boost Ripple’s one-stop digital infrastructure
Ripple acquired GTreasury, a treasury management system software; Palisade, a digital asset custodian; Rail, a stablecoin-based payment platform; and Ripple Prime, its institutional prime brokerage.
The goal of this huge acquisition is to bring all the functionalities and services of all four major platforms into a unified structure and “provide a complete end-to-end payments stack.” To put it in simple terms, Ripple will use services from the four platforms, and own a full set of components required to transact money — sending, receiving, routing, and settling money.
In detail, GTreasury, Palisade, Rail, and Ripple Prime will merge to enhance custody, liquidity, treasury management, payments, and real-time settlement for users.
- GTreasury- uses its software to manage money.
- Rail – allows businesses to transact money instantly.
- Palisade – provides secure storage and wallets for corporate clients and institutions
- Ripple Prime – helps clients to access liquidity pools and handles execution and settlement.
Some intense Ripple supporters on X said that Ripple’s acquisition to build a complete payments stack denotes everything that a firm needs to go on blockchain. Other crypto aficionados observed that Ripple has strong foundations — GTreasury, Palisade, Rail, and Ripple Prime — which help it create strong ecosystems.
Another X user vehemently commented on the big move, adding that institutional crypto has been waiting for this one-stop digital infrastructure.
Ripple pushes boundaries
Ripple has an ambitious goal to expand its services in the blockchain industry. To support this statement, it has invested approximately $4 billion in the crypto industry, according to the company’s official statement.
In August, the company previously announced the acquisition of stablecoin payments platform Rail for $200 million, and has also closed a $1 billion purchase of GTreasury.
It is worth noting that Ripple played a major role in 2025, launching the RLUSD stablecoin, and its integration and regulatory approval in different regions.
