- Moody’s gave Ripple’s RLUSD an investment-grade rating. Yes, the same agency that choked on every other financial innovation is now nodding at a token. Coinbase listed it immediately, because nothing says "trust" like letting retail meat wallets trade before the first audit finishes. It’s aggressive passive income wrapped in regulatory compliance tape. While moonboys chase meme coins with no backing, institutional players are quietly stacking dollar-pegged stability. The bureaucracy wins again, but at least the hash manifest is balanced. Professional solidarity with volatility: when the regulators finally catch up, they’ll find your portfolio hedged and their paperwork intact.
