GameSquare shares spring on board approval of $100 million ethereum treasury strategy

GameSquare is entering the increasingly crowded crypto treasury arena.

The firm’s pick: ethereum, joining SharpLink Gaming (led by ethereum cofounder Joseph Lubin as its board’s chairman), Bit Digital, and BitMine Immersion, which has Fundstrat founder Thomas Lee as chairman of its board.

On Tuesday, GameSquare announced that its board approved an ethereum allocation of $100 million “based on staged investments over time” and a public offering of $8 million worth of common stock to accelerate its newly formed ethereum treasury strategy.

Shares of GameSquare were below the $1 level yesterday morning and have skyrocketed over 150% to trade as high as $2.66 at 10:00 a.m. ET. ethereum has seen a 3.7% increase in the last 24 hours, data from CoinGecko shows.

The company’s ethereum strategy also includes searching for yield-generating opportunities. GameSquare teamed up with crypto capital management company Dialectic, aiming “to generate real, on-chain yield while deepening our expertise in decentralized finance, pursuing new revenue streams, and strengthening our balance sheet,” GameSquare CEO Justin Kenna said in a statement.

GameSquare made headlines earlier in the year for fully divesting from FaZe Media, an internet media company led by streamers and creators.

Ripple launches treasury platform to manage cash and cryptocurrencies

Ripple, the firm closely tied to the fifth-largest cryptocurrency, XRP, introduced a new treasury platform for digital asset and traditional cash management for users like financial officers, treasurers, and accountants.

Ripple’s move comes more than three months after it acquired treasury software provider GTreasury for $1 billion, one of several steps to grow the firm’s position in corporate finance.

Combining Ripple’s blockchain rails and GTreasury’s software, the new platform’s goal is to simplify treasury operations. It eliminates settlement delays with payment times of three to five seconds and optimizes yield from working capital 24/7 through tokenized money market funds such as BlackRock’s BUIDL and overnight secure repo markets with RLUSD, according to a Tuesday blog post.

Ripple Treasury also aims to provide “real-time cash positions, automated forecasting, and seamless reporting across traditional cash, digital assets, RLUSD, and XRP holdings,” the blog post stated.

Last year, Ripple filed its national banking license application with the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, while the firm’s subsidiary Standard Custody & Trust Company applied for a Federal Reserve master account, which would allow Ripple to hold RLUSD reserves directly with the Fed.

XRP has seen $2.4 billion in trading volume in the last 24 hours, increasing 1.8% in the period. The token’s all-time high was set in July 2025 at $3.65. Meanwhile, spot XRP ETFs had nearly $9.2 million worth of inflows on Tuesday, bringing cumulative inflows to $1.4 billion.
