XRP Price History & All-Time Performance

XRP has experienced dramatic price swings since its launch in 2012. The token reached its all-time high of $3.6662 USD on July 18, 2025, driven by favorable regulatory developments and surging institutional demand. Its all-time low of $0.1055 USD was recorded on March 13, 2020, during the broader COVID-19 market crash.

Key XRP Price Milestones

XRP's price history reflects both the promise and volatility of cryptocurrency markets. In late 2017 and early 2018, XRP surged to nearly $3.40 during the broader crypto bull run, propelled by Ripple's banking partnerships and media coverage. The subsequent bear market saw XRP fall below $0.20 by late 2018. In December 2020, the SEC filed its lawsuit against Ripple Labs, which caused XRP to drop sharply as major U.S. exchanges delisted the token.

Despite the SEC lawsuit — which ended with a partial court victory for Ripple in 2023 — XRP recovered strongly and went on to reach a new all-time high in July 2025, validating the token's long-term utility thesis.

In 2024 and 2025, XRP benefited from improving regulatory clarity in the United States and the launch of the first XRP spot ETFs. Year-to-date in 2026, XRP has pulled back approximately 26% from its 2025 peak but remains firmly in the top five cryptocurrencies. With daily XRPL payments reaching 2.7 million and tokenized asset value rising 35% in 30 days, the on-chain fundamentals continue to support a constructive long-term price outlook.
