XRP trades at $1.33 and remains 62.5% below its 2018 high
XRP is trading around $1.33, or 62.5% below its January 2018 high, while Bitcoin and Ether have far surpassed their levels from that period. This poor performance does not mean that all its holders have lost money: it mainly affects those who bought near the highs, while the increase in supply has diluted the value represented by each token.
XRP is trading around $1.33, or 62.5% below its January 2018 high.
Unlike Bitcoin and Ether, XRP struggles to hold on to its gains over the long term.
The circulating supply has increased by 63% since 2017, putting pressure on the value of each token.
Limited institutional demand and XRP's still-modest adoption are holding back its growth.
A sustainable rise in XRP will depend on demand capable of absorbing new units entering circulation.
XRP remains far below its January 2018 high
While its market capitalization has just fallen by $117 billion, XRP's trajectory depends greatly on the date chosen to measure its performance. An investor who entered at a low price could have made a significant profit, but anyone who bought during the euphoria of early 2018 is still deeply in the red almost nine years later.
Several figures illustrate this discrepancy:
XRP is trading around $1.33;
Its January 2018 high was close to $3.55;
The token remains approximately 62.5% below that level;
It briefly reached $3.66 in July 2025 before falling again;
Its circulating supply has increased from 38.7 billion to 63.1 billion XRP since 2017.
