Ripple has removed its announcement celebrating RLUSD’s A2/P-1 credit ratings from Moody’s, prompting questions about the company’s reason for deleting such an important update.
The decision has also led some XRP community members to speculate about a possible announcement involving the cryptocurrency.
In a tweet, Decentralized news platform RippleXity says Ripple could have something bigger planned for XRP, although the company has not confirmed any connection between the deleted post and an upcoming development.
The deletion also does not mean Moody’s has withdrawn its assessment. The rating agency still maintains its official rating action for RLUSD.

Moody’s Gave RLUSD Investment-Grade Ratings
On October 27, 2026, Moody’s assigned RLUSD an A2 long-term deposit rating and a P-1 short-term deposit rating. The assessment marked an important milestone for Ripple because RLUSD became the first stablecoin to receive an investment-grade rating under Moody’s new stablecoin evaluation methodology.
The A2 rating places RLUSD in the agency’s upper-medium-grade category, indicating low credit risk. Meanwhile, P-1 represents Moody’s highest short-term rating category.
Moody’s based its assessment partly on RLUSD’s reserve structure, which targets 103% coverage. Short-term U.S. Treasury securities and cash make up most of the reserves, while BNY serves as a major custodian.
The ratings cover native RLUSD issued on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum by Standard Custody & Trust Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ripple Labs. They do not represent a credit rating for Ripple itself.
Moody’s also identified limitations in its assessment. The agency explained that the ratings do not guarantee price stability and noted that Standard Custody & Trust Company is not a bankruptcy-remote entity.
Why Ripple May Have Deleted the Announcement
RippleXity’s suggestion of a bigger XRP development represents one possible interpretation of the deletion. However, ordinary corporate and regulatory considerations could also explain the decision.
Credit rating agencies impose strict requirements on how companies communicate their assessments. Ripple may have removed the post to correct its wording, clarify the ratings’ scope or address compliance requirements.
The company’s recent progress toward establishing Ripple National Trust Bank also provides another possible explanation. Ripple received final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in October, with the bank expected to manage segregated RLUSD reserves. Changes to reserve management arrangements could require updates to previous announcements.
For now, Ripple has not explained why it deleted the post or confirmed any upcoming XRP development. Moody’s continues to maintain RLUSD’s A2/P-1 ratings.
