Ripple conquers the crypto world with $500 million investment!
Ripple, one of the earliest companies in the crypto space, secured a groundbreaking $500 million strategic investment today, November 6, 2025. This investment is led by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities and reflects the confidence of major financial players in the future of cryptocurrencies. The company's total valuation stands at an impressive $40 billion, as Daily Hodl reported.
In addition to Fortress and Citadel, other prominent investors such as Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard and Marshall Wace have also invested in Ripple. CEO Brad Garlinghouse emphasized that this investment validates the company's efforts to develop innovative solutions in the financial sector. Founded in 2012 initially with a focus on payment processing, Ripple has since developed significantly and now also offers services in the areas of custody, stablecoins, prime brokerage and corporate treasury.
Expansion of offerings and strategic acquisitions
In the last two years, Ripple has made six acquisitions, two of which had a total value of over $1 billion. These strategic acquisitions are part of the company's efforts to expand its product range and position itself as a market leader. The stablecoin RLUSD has reached a market cap of $1 billion in about eleven months.
To strengthen the stablecoin infrastructure, Ripple purchased Rail to optimize payment processing with RLUSD and XRP for cross-border transactions. It also acquired GTreasury last month to effectively integrate stablecoins into treasury management for Fortune 500 clients. Additionally, Ripple acquired Hidden Road, which now operates as Ripple Prime. This acquisition allowed Ripple to double customer collateral and significantly increase transactions.
This development demonstrates Ripple's commitment to promoting innovative solutions in financial technology and asserting itself in a rapidly changing market. With the new capital increase, the company is expected to be able to further advance its technological advancements and appeal to even more financial institutions and enterprises.
