Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took to X today to celebrate what he called an “incredible” first quarter of 2025. Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, a leading prime broker, was a standout achievement. Ripple described the deal as its largest to date.This acquisition opens a new institutional use case for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin. Hidden Road will use RLUSD as collateral across its product suite, supporting cross-margining between traditional finance and crypto. The broker also plans to integrate XRPL into its post-trade systems, including repo markets and swaps, to improve cost efficiency and streamline operations.SEC Withdraws Appeal in Ripple LawsuitRipple also confirmed a major legal win in its ongoing battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to the report, the SEC decided to withdraw its appeal. Ripple, in turn, dropped its own cross-appeal, which challenged part of the regulator’s earlier win.Related article: RLUSD Minting Stalls as Ripple Pauses New Stablecoin Supply — What’s Going On?As part of the mutual agreement, the SEC accepted a reduced fine of $50 million, down from $125 million.

Ripple noted that this move could finally close the multi-year case, which it says tested “the limits of regulatory overreach.”Institutional Interest in XRP SoarsRipple reported a surge in institutional demand for XRP products. XRP-based exchange-traded products (ETPs) brought in $37.7 million in Q1 2025, outpacing those tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Year-to-date, XRP ETP inflows climbed to $214 million.Related article: XRP Is No Longer Just for Payments: How Stablecoins and New Tech Are Rewriting Its Purpose Major firms such as Franklin Templeton and Volatility Shares submitted applications for XRP ETFs.

Since 2017, the company has disclosed its XRP holdings through XRP Markets reports. But Ripple now claims regulators used that transparency against it.Q1’25 was an incredible quarter for Ripple, with our acquisition of Hidden Road and end to the SEC case, not to mention institutional interest in XRP ETPs globally.Moving forward, the XRP Markets Report will look a little different.
