Ripple has spent nearly $4 billion on acquisition activities this year, accelerating the integration of Blockchain technology with TradFi.

PANews November 13 news, according to CNBC, Ripple Labs, under the leadership of CEO Brad Garlinghouse, is accelerating the integration of Blockchain technology with TradFi. By 2025, Ripple plans to invest nearly $4 billion in the acquisition of key Financial Service companies such as Hidden Road and GTreasury, and launch over-the-counter Spot market trading services aimed at U.S. institutions, with a market valuation reaching $40 billion. Garlinghouse stated at the Ripple Swell 2025 conference that the company is committed to providing a diverse range of TradFi services through Blockchain infrastructure to meet the growing demand for digital assets from institutions. At the same time, Ripple plans to collaborate with large institutions to promote XRP Ledger technology, further enhancing the application value of the XRP ecosystem. Although the XRP price remains stagnant in 2025, Garlinghouse believes that as U.S. digital asset regulations gradually loosen and institutional demand increases, Ripple's Blockchain solutions will inject new momentum into TradFi. However, he also pointed out that due to stalled legislative progress in the U.S., banks still need to wait for a clear legal framework to fully adopt cryptocurrency technology.
