Ripple’s 2025 $2.45 Billion Deal Push Aims At "Amazon-Style" Financial Stack With XRP And RLUSD

In 2025, Ripple carried out about $2.45 billion in acquisitions over seven months, which Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver argues are designed to build an "Amazon of financial infrastructure" with XRP and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin at the settlement core. He links major moves such as the $1.25 billion purchase of prime broker Hidden Road, the roughly $200 million Rail deal, the $1 billion GTreasury buyout and the Palisade acquisition into an end-to-end institutional platform he says Ripple now brands as "Ripple 1." At press time, XRP was trading at $2.10.
