Ripple’s $1B GTreasury Deal Paves Way for XRP Treasury
Ripple has completed a $1 billion GTreasury acquisition to launch a new XRP treasury. By combining GTreasury’s 40-year treasury management expertise with Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure, the firm targets the multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury market. The digital-asset treasury (DAT) will offer real-time cross-border payments and repo market access, funded partly by Ripple’s XRP holdings. CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the move will unlock trapped corporate cash and reduce payment costs. President Monica Long notes it follows the Hidden Road deal, expanding Ripple’s prime brokerage and liquidity channels. Traders should track the XRP treasury’s impact on market liquidity. On-chain and technical data show XRP faces a bearish moving average cross and key support at $2. A close below could push XRP toward $1.77.
Bearish
While the $1 billion GTreasury acquisition strengthens Ripple’s fundamentals and paves the way for a dedicated XRP treasury—an overall bullish development—the current technical setup for XRP shows a bearish moving average cross and heavy whale selling. In the short term, traders face downside pressure with a key support at $2 and risk of a drop to $1.77. Over the long term, unlocking corporate treasury markets and improved real-time payment infrastructure could drive sustained demand for XRP, but near-term bears may dominate until clear technical reversal signals emerge.
