XRP trades around $1.33, down 62.5% from its early January 2018 peak of $3.55. Bitcoin is up 314% from its December 2017 peak, while ether is up 66% from its previous cycle high. Ripple's focus on payments, XRP's limited exposure to popular crypto sectors and years of regulatory uncertainty from the SEC case have weighed on demand. XRP briefly surpassed its old high in July 2025, reaching $3.66 before crashing.
