GTreasury unveils ‘Ripple Treasury’ – Is TradFi about to get disrupted?

What started as tech to support “decentralization” has now found its footing in the financial world. With how things are shaping up, the future looks bright for decentralized finance (DeFi) and the way we handle money.Payments are naturally the ground most L1 blockchains are now targeting as a bridge from TradFi to DeFi. Ripple’s [XRP] $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury last year, for instance, was a major step in line with this strategy.Building on that move, Ripple and GTreasury have now teamed up to launch Ripple Treasury, aiming for faster cross-border payments by plugging XRPL rails into GTreasury’s enterprise-grade treasury software.Source: XAs noted on Ripple’s official website, the goal of the treasury is to streamline financial operations for GTreasury’s network of 13,000 banks, offering 100% cash visibility and supporting flows of up to $12.5 trillion.At the macro level, this move is another major boost for XRPL’s real-world adoption. Its native stablecoin, RLUSD, powers these payments by providing on-chain liquidity, faster settlement, and a seamless experience.In short, this partnership shows how blockchain can do what traditional banks do, but faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. Naturally, it raises a key question: Is this Ripple’s first “real” step toward outpacing TradFi?Ripple brings blockchain speed to banksRipple’s RLUSD is showing its growing impact in the market.According to DeFiLlama, its circulating supply on XRPL has jumped 15.36% over the past 30 days, bringing the total to 388 million. That’s 60 million added in on-chain liquidity, ready as dry powder for real-world use.And it’s not stopping there. The total stablecoin market on XRPL hit a $400 million ATH, with $100 million added so far in 2026. RLUSD makes up 83% of that, cementing its role as the backbone of the network’s liquidity.Source: DeFiLlamaIn this context, Ripple’s push into TradFi isn’t random.Instead, its growing stablecoin presence is positioning XRPL as a bridge. Think of it this way: RLUSD acts like a digital highway, letting banks move money instantly while still connecting to the systems they already use.However, with Ripple Treasury now in place, the system adds a full suite of enterprise-grade treasury tools like liquidity management, risk oversight, and payments, bringing blockchain speed straight into traditional finance.Against this backdrop, the Ripple–GTreasury partnership isn’t just another move to support banks. Instead, it’s a strategic push into the heart of TradFi, using stablecoins to make banking operations more efficient.Final ThoughtsRipple and GTreasury have launched a Ripple Treasury to integrate XRPL rails with GTreasury’s enterprise-grade tools. Ripple is positioning XRPL as a bridge for traditional finance, using stablecoins to make banking faster, cheaper, and more efficient.
