Crypto Analyst Says XRP Investors Are Clueless About Ripple’s Big Move… Seriously?

by

So, here we go again. A so-called “crypto analyst” is out there saying that XRP investors just don’t get it. They’ve missed the boat, folks, and not just any boat-this one’s huge, it’s practically a yacht. Apparently, Ripple’s CEO, Bradley Garlinghouse, just made an announcement that could change everything. You know, no big deal, just a $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury and Hidden Road, which is about as exciting as it sounds. Could Ripple’s strategy really shift this much? Apparently, yes, and it’s a game changer-or at least that’s what the analyst claims.

The Big Announcement XRP Investors Are Completely Overlooking (Or Just Don’t Care About)

On Monday-mark the date, people-this so-called “RiskzTake” (what a name, right?) comes in hot with a post on X, calling out XRP investors for basically being clueless about Ripple’s $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury. I mean, who would have thought? According to RiskzTake, XRP was supposed to be just a cross-border payment currency, but now it’s apparently turning into something much bigger. Great, right? Except most people are just kind of like, “What’s a GTreasury?”

He goes on to say that this merger is going to put XRP right in the middle of institutional capital. Yes, folks, we’re talking everything from currency swaps to investments, deposits, and more. XRP is now some kind of institutional liquidity superstar. But the cherry on top? Hidden Road, clearing over $3 trillion annually. I mean, come on, that’s like saying you’re friends with a billionaire and you don’t even know their name.

Garlinghouse, being the CEO that he is, confirmed all this in an announcement on X. And he didn’t just say, “Hey, we bought GTreasury,” oh no, he went full CEO mode. He called it “the gateway into a $120 trillion corporate treasury payment market” that’s still stuck in the dark ages. Apparently, legacy systems are “trapping” corporate capital and preventing financial innovation. But don’t worry, Garlinghouse is here to save the day. He says this acquisition will free up all that trapped liquidity. Like a superhero, but for crypto. 🙄

And let’s not forget that GTreasury has been around, dealing with some of the biggest brands in the world. So, it’s not like this acquisition is just a random thing. Garlinghouse said Ripple is now ready to help CFOs integrate all these newfangled things like stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and digital assets into their operations. You know, just a typical Monday for a blockchain genius.

Hidden Road: Ripple’s New Best Friend (or Maybe Just an Acquaintance)

Now, let’s talk about Hidden Road. According to Ripple’s press release-because, of course, they released a press release-Ripple has this long-term vision of bringing digital assets into corporate treasury management. Blah, blah, blah. They’re going to combine GTreasury’s “expertise” with Ripple’s blockchain magic to help companies manage liquidity and payments in real time. So basically, everything will be faster, cheaper, and-wait for it-more transparent than ever before. Sound too good to be true? You might be right.

Oh, and Hidden Road, they’re apparently the “prime broker” now, giving companies access to the multi-trillion-dollar global repo market. It’s like when you’re at a party and the cool kid lets you into the VIP section, but for money. This means companies can use their “idle” capital more efficiently. Gotta love that “idle” capital just sitting there, right?

According to GTreasury CEO Renaat Ver Eecke-who I’m sure is thrilled about this merger-this deal marks a shift for GTreasury. No longer just about managing capital, now it’s all about deploying it. Finally! The treasury company is evolving! And just to top it all off, this is Ripple’s third major acquisition in 2025, following the purchase of Hidden Road and Rail. Yeah, they’re busy.
