Ripple has transformed from a cross-border payments company into a full-stack financial infrastructure provider by acquiring firms worth $2.45 billion in 2025. Key acquisitions include Hidden Road for prime brokerage and GTreasury for treasury management, enabling Ripple to offer custody for over 1 million wallets, 90% global forex coverage, and its USD-backed stablecoin RLUSD.
