Ripple acquires crypto-friendly major broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion

Ripple, a blockchain-based payment network, announced that it has acquired a major crypto-friendly broker hidden path in one of the largest mergers in the cryptocurrency industry.

The company officially announced on April 8 that Ripple will acquire the Hidden Road in a $1.25 billion deal.

The deal will make Ripple the first crypto company to own and operate global multi-asset general manager. According to the company’s April 8 announcement, the acquisition is expected to position Ripple as the world’s largest non-bank major broker, while the hidden path is currently liquidated over $3 trillion in more than 300 institutions.

The acquisition is also aimed at strengthening the stance of Ripple USD (RLUSD), an institution-focused Stablecoin launched by Ripple in December 2024.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said in an April 8 X post that Ripple has been a client of Hidden Roads for years and “know their expertise firsthand.”

He also mentioned that the $3 trillion in annual liquidation of Hidden Road will utilize the ripple-backed XRP (XRP) and its underlying decentralized public blockchain, XRP Ledger (XRPL).

“Hidden Road will use XRPL to clean up a portion of the transactions, and at most it can be resolved through the Fiat Railway, and to the best of all, use RLUSD as collateral for its primary brokerage services,” Garlinghouse wrote on X.

Lawyer sues U.S. Department of Land and Resources to investigate the so-called Sato Nakaben conference

A cryptocurrency lawyer has sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for alleging that the agency may know who created Bitcoin, forcing the department to share its knowledge.

The Freedom of Information Act lawsuit was filed by James Murphy, who was based on allegations by DHS special agent Rana Saoud at a meeting in April 2019 that she said some of her colleagues had previously met with four people involved in the creation of Bitcoin.

“My FOIA lawsuit simply requires notes, emails and other documents about the alleged interview,” Murphy posted to X after announcing the April 7 lawsuit.

Murphy added: “If the interview did happen as DHS agents claimed, there should be documents on the substance of the conference.”

If the KMT refuses to disclose, Murphy said he will “propose a case to conclude” to solve the mystery.
