LAKEWOOD, NJ, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI) ("Reliance", "we" or the "Company") today announced that it has completed a purchase of XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger and the cryptocurrency used within the Ripple payment network. This transaction marks Reliance's latest measured step in its Digital Asset Treasury ("DAT") initiative, introducing diversified exposure to a top-tier asset recognized for its speed, scalability, and strong adoption in the global banking and financial services sector.
The addition of XRP follows Reliance's earlier treasury purchases of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. Together, these holdings reflect the Company's disciplined approach to building a diversified portfolio of digital assets that align with its long-term strategy of combining innovation, stability, and value.
XRP is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and is widely used as a bridge asset for international payments. Built for enterprise-grade applications, XRP provides:
- Speed: Transactions typically settle in 3-5 seconds.
- Low Cost: Transaction fees are fractions of a cent, making it efficient for micro-payments.
- Liquidity & Banking Use: Ripple's partnerships with global banks and payment providers drive adoption for cross-border settlements and liquidity management.
- Scalability: Handles over 1,500 transactions per second, rivaling traditional payment networks.
- Energy Efficiency: XRP Ledger consensus uses minimal energy compared to proof-of-work blockchains.
"Our strategy is to carefully build a treasury of digital assets with both strong fundamentals and real-world utility," said Ezra Beyman, Chairman and CEO of Reliance Global Group. "XRP offers speed, efficiency, and proven value in global payments. By adding XRP to our portfolio alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano, we are reinforcing Reliance's role at the forefront of blockchain adoption. We believe this disciplined diversification is designed to both capture the transformative potential of blockchain technology and to drive long-term shareholder value. With guidance from our Crypto Advisory Board, we are committed to balancing innovation with prudent governance, secure custody, and regulatory compliance. Our goal is to integrate digital assets into Reliance's broader strategy in a way that delivers innovation today while creating lasting value for our shareholders."
Reliance views the addition of XRP and other leading digital assets as an extension of its broader strategy to merge innovative technologies with its established strengths in insurance and financial services. Platforms such as RELI Exchange and 5MinuteInsure.com have already demonstrated the Company's ability to modernize distribution and customer engagement through technology. By applying the same disciplined approach to blockchain participation, Reliance is positioning digital assets not as speculative instruments but as strategic tools to enhance resilience, efficiency, and growth. With a focus on secure custody, transparent oversight, and regulatory compliance, the Company seeks to responsibly integrate blockchain value into its operating model while creating sustainable opportunities for shareholders.
