The XRP historical price data stretches back to August 2013, when the first recorded exchange rate was approximately $0.00589. Since then, XRP has experienced several major bull and bear cycles, making historical chart analysis invaluable for understanding its price behavior.

Key Historical Price Milestones

XRP reached its all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018 during the global crypto bull run, when it briefly surpassed Ethereum in market capitalization. The coin then entered a prolonged bear market, bottoming around $0.10 in early 2020. A second major rally occurred in late 2020 and into 2021, with XRP reaching $1.95 before the SEC lawsuit dampened momentum.

The most recent peak was $3.66 on July 18, 2025, following the settlement of Ripple's legal battle with the SEC and renewed institutional adoption. XRP's lowest recorded price was $0.00280 in July 2014.

From its 2013 origin to the 2025 peak, XRP has delivered returns exceeding 600,000% for early holders — one of the most dramatic appreciation stories in crypto history.
