Ripple is driving the expansion of its institutional business with approximately $4 billion in acquisitions and investments, aiming to build a full-stack infrastructure on the XRP Ledger that covers custody, prime brokerage, payments, and stablecoin settlement. Recently, the company acquired multi-asset prime broker Hidden Road for around $1.25 billion and integrated GTreasury for about $1 billion to embed RLUSD stablecoin settlement directly into enterprise ERP and TMS systems. Meanwhile, Ripple is piloting RLUSD with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini. (Cointelegraph) http://(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=51818
