Pundit to XRP Holders: Do Not Forget This Viral Post about SWIFT and XRP

A post claiming SWIFT was close to a deal with Ripple is circulating again, reigniting a controversy that started over a year ago. Crypto Dyl News (@cryptodylnews) brought the story back into focus, noting the viral Watcher.Guru’s post and its abrupt deletion.

The Viral Tweet

Watcher.Guru, an account with 4.3 million followers, published a claim stating SWIFT was nearing an agreement with Ripple. The post said the deal would let SWIFT use XRP for cross-border payments. It also claimed billions of XRP sat in escrow as liquidity reserves. The post spread fast across crypto social media.

Watcher.Guru removed the post shortly after, revealing that it had been hacked. Crypto Dyl News revisited this sequence of events in its recent post, putting the deleted claim and the hacking excuse side by side for its followers to examine.

What Is Suggested

Crypto Dyl News frames the timeline as suspicious. The account notes that a page with millions of followers announced major news, then deleted it, then blamed a hack. The implication is that a real account doesn’t accidentally publish market-moving financial news and walk it back with an unverified breach claim.

This is even more pressing because rumors of a partnership between SWIFT and Ripple have been circulating for some time. Crypto Dyl News isn’t alleging a specific motive. It’s simply laying out the sequence and letting XRP holders draw their own conclusions.

XRP Community’s Reaction

Responses to the Crypto Dyl News post ranged from dismissive to skeptical of the post itself. One reply called the original claim a lie designed purely for engagement.

Another aimed Crypto Dyl News, stating that recycling old claims won’t move XRP’s price. XRP currently trades at $1.14 and has struggled with the $1.10 support level since its decline in early June. Another commenter pushed back on the skepticism, saying Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, confirmed Watcher.Guru’s hack, and that other outlets covered the breach.

Where Things Stand

The March 2025 breach came days after the SEC dropped its Ripple appeal. Watcher.Guru said it flagged suspicious activity two weeks prior and that the attacker blocked Ripple’s official account and CEO Brad Garlinghouse, delaying any quick denial from the company itself.

No SWIFT-Ripple XRP deal has been confirmed since then, but the community still speculates on ways both parties could work together. The claim’s resurfacing shows it still resonates with XRP holders.
