XRP Primed for Institutional Adoption as Ripple and GTreasury Release New Treasury Management Guide

• Ripple and GTreasury released a new report that shows how treasury firms can utilise blockchain infrastructure.
• XRP is positioned for institutional adoption based on Ripple’s priority of fast transaction cross-border settlement.

Ripple Labs and GTreasury have developed a treasury management guide that demonstrates corporate treasuries can reduce cross-border payment costs by up to 90%. The guide benefits XRP as a leading asset for cross-border settlement. In the new guide, developed with Ripple, GTreasury presented a practical framework for corporate treasurers exploring digital asset infrastructure.

GTreasury acknowledged that Treasury professionals are exhausted by endless pitches about digital asset infrastructure. They also lack clear guidance on when crypto technology becomes operationally relevant.

As a solution, GTreasury and Ripple created a guide that shows the usefulness of digital asset infrastructure. The report highlighted that real-world treasury impacts include trapped liquidity reduction, working capital optimisation, after-hours capability, and reconciliation efficiency.

The study further emphasised the role of Ripple and GTreasury in bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto. It explains that Ripple and GTreasury actively supported over 300 financial institutions for years. 

Both platforms have continued to move real value across regions with compliance requirements already embedded. Their involvement allows treasury teams to understand digital assets through familiar metrics such as cost reductions, liquidity efficiency, and settlement cycles.

The new treasury management guide emphasises that blockchain removes traditional delays, enabling payments to close within seconds rather than days. Such short settlement time directly reduces trapped liquidity and strengthens working capital planning.

The GTreasury report suggested using digital assets to settle cross-border transactions in minutes instead of days and reduce costs by 60-90%.

XRP Set for Institutional Adoption

The new framework strengthens the use of XRP in cross-border transactions. Notably, the Ripple settlement infrastructure suits firms seeking to remove frictions on high-value payment corridors.

The report also highlighted XRP as an institutional-grade settlement asset with good liquidity and reliable functionality.

Already, the network is operating in production in more than 90 markets. Therefore, when treasurers engage with digital rails, they are working within existing production systems rather than pilot settings.

GTreasury and Ripple recommend that teams implement the process from small pilots to full implementation at their own pace. 

This report is directly tied to the Ripple ecosystem, as Ripple acquired GTreasury for $1 billion in October 2025. The acquisition integrates GTreasury’s treasury management software with the Ripple blockchain technology, creating a full-stack platform for corporate finance. 

Previously, we explored how Ripple published a Guidebook for cross payments, explaining the technology, challenges, and the benefits. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also hinted that XRP could secure 14% of SWIFT’s cross-border payment market by 2030.
