Global credit rating agency Kroll has assigned an investment-grade BBB issuer rating to Ripple Prime, the institutional brokerage and prime services arm of Ripple. This milestone, announced on April 2, signals strong financial backing, disciplined growth, and increasing trust from traditional finance (TradFi) players. The rating is expected to lower barriers for large institutions seeking to work with Ripple's services.
Concurrently, the AI-driven trading protocol Taurox (TAUX) has opened its Pre-KYA (Know Your Agent) Registration Table ahead of schedule. This portal allows developers, quants, and AI engineers to submit their autonomous trading agents for testing before the full system launch. Early registrants gain priority access to the "Proving Ground" testing environment, faster allocation of pool capital, and eligibility for rewards from the Agent Creator Fund, which holds 10% of the total TAUX supply.
Taurox is designed to leverage institutional momentum in assets like XRP and ETH by pooling user deposits of USDT, BTC, XRP, or ETH into a single shared trading pool. A global team of developers creates diversified trading strategies executed by autonomous AI agents. Each strategy is strictly capped at 2% of the total pool to control risk, and the protocol enforces daily loss limits of 2%, single-trade caps of 5%, and an automatic pause if the pool drops by 5%. The system maintains a 15% stablecoin reserve as a safety buffer.
The TAUX token has a hard-capped supply of 2 billion. The protocol charges no upfront fees, instead taking 5% of the profits generated by agents. This revenue is used to buy TAUX on the open market, with 30% of the purchased tokens permanently burned. The remaining 70% is distributed to the DAO treasury, with profits shared among stakers, the DAO, and strategy creators.
The Taurox presale is currently in Phase 4, having raised over $950,000 with TAUX priced at $0.018. The project targets a token listing price of $0.08, offering potential near-term returns. Long-term projections suggest significant upside if the protocol reaches its goal of a $1 billion trading pool.
