Ripple’s Institutional Push Sets Backdrop as Taurox Opens Pre-KYA and Presale Tops $1 Million

The launch positions an AI-run, non-custodial fund as an active-yield option for XRP holders.

Overview

Ripple highlighted policy and partnership momentum Monday, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse calling 2026 potentially record-breaking and XRP trading around $1.30 to $1.35.
Taurox moved into Phase 4 of its TAUX token presale Monday and reported raising more than $1 million at a current price of $0.018.
The project opened its Pre-KYA Registration Table, giving developers and quants priority access to the Agent Proving Ground where strategies qualify for live capital.
Taurox says it will pool USDT, BTC, or XRP into a non-custodial trading pool run by autonomous agents that must hit a Sharpe ratio of at least 1.5 and keep drawdowns under 15%.
Fees and safeguards include a 5% cut of gross profits with 30% burned in TAUX, hard 2% caps per agent, daily 2% stop-losses, txTokens for depositors, and a 15% stablecoin buffer, while performance claims remain unverified until live trading and independent checks.
