Sistine Research, a digital asset analysis platform, has summed up the growing institutional narrative around XRP in one concise statement.
In a tweet highlighting the involvement of firms like GTreasury, Evernorth, Rail, Hidden Road, and SBI Holdings in the XRP ecosystem, it remarked: “XRP is extremely obvious, just requires patience.”
The remark reflects a growing consensus that Ripple’s recent strategic moves are setting the stage for a financial transformation with XRP at its core.
The majority of the funds will be used for open-market XRP purchases. At the same time, Ripple executives including Brad Garlinghouse, David Schwartz, and Stuart Alderoty will serve as advisers.
Ripple Chairman Chris Larsen personally contributed 50 million XRP to support the launch, calling Evernorth “the missing link” in XRP capital markets.
Bridging Treasury and Payments with GTreasury and Rail
Meanwhile, just last week, Ripple acquired GTreasury for $1 billion, marking its official entry into the $120 trillion corporate treasury market.
The move will allow Ripple to integrate blockchain liquidity and instant payments directly into systems used by over 1,000 multinational corporations.
This acquisition follows Ripple’s $200 million purchase of Rail in August. Rail is a stablecoin payments company handling about 10% of global B2B stablecoin transactions.
Together, these moves position Ripple to dominate both fiat and digital liquidity flows, using XRP and its stablecoin, RLUSD, as complementary assets in institutional settlements.
Connecting to the $11 Trillion U.S. Treasury Market via Hidden Road
Moreover, Ripple’s April acquisition of Hidden Road, a prime brokerage firm, added yet another layer to its expanding reach. Hidden Road joined the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) earlier this year, granting it access to the $11 trillion U.S. Treasury clearing market.
This development effectively links Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure with one of the largest financial systems in the world.
While XRP isn’t directly used for settlement in this context, it remains integral to Ripple’s technology stack through transaction fees and ledger operations. It provides the foundation for transparent, near-instant post-trade processing.
XRP is “Obvious”
Taken together, these developments illustrate why Sistine Research calls XRP’s future “extremely obvious.”
The comment highlights that Ripple’s strategy is not built on speculation or hype, but on real-world integrations across payments, liquidity, and treasury markets.
In other words, the company is building the rails for a new financial system, one where XRP operates quietly beneath the surface.
As Sistine Research suggests, it’s only a matter of patience before the market recognizes the full scope of XRP’s role in global finance — and the potential impact on its price.
Evernorth, GTreasury, Hidden Road, Rail, SBI Holdings.
XRP is extremely obvious, just requires patience.
