Ripple said in an official announcement that it plans to acquire BC Payments Australia Pty Ltd to secure an Australian Financial Services License, a move that would let it offer its full payments stack in Australia through a single integration. The company said the platform would cover onboarding, compliance, funding, foreign exchange, liquidity management, and payout. Ripple also stated that its Asia-Pacific payments volume nearly doubled year over year in 2025 and referenced $100 billion in total processed volume across 60 markets. In addition, Ripple said it is participating in Project Acacia, a digital asset infrastructure initiative led by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre.
