Frequently Asked Questions
What is XRP's all-time high price?
XRP reached its all-time high of $3.84 on January 4, 2018, during the crypto bull run. This represented a gain of over 36,000% from its 2017 starting price of around $0.006.
What is XRP's all-time low price?
XRP's all-time low was approximately $0.002802 in July 2014, during a period of market uncertainty and the departure of co-founder Jed McCaleb. After the 2017-2018 bull run, XRP's lowest price was around $0.11 in March 2020 during the COVID crash.
When was XRP created?
XRP was created in 2012 by Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto, and David Schwartz. The XRP Ledger launched in June 2012, with all 100 billion XRP created at genesis (no mining). OpenCoin (later Ripple) was founded in September 2012.
What caused XRP to reach its all-time high in 2018?
XRP's ATH was driven by the overall crypto bull market, speculation about bank partnerships with Ripple, and massive retail FOMO. The price went from $0.006 in January 2017 to $3.84 in January 2018 — a 63,000% gain in 12 months.
How did the SEC lawsuit affect XRP price?
The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple on December 22, 2020, causing XRP to crash ~60% and leading to US exchange delistings. The price recovered throughout 2021, and when Judge Torres ruled XRP is NOT a security in programmatic sales (July 2023), XRP doubled within hours.
Will XRP reach a new all-time high?
Many analysts believe XRP could reach new highs if favorable regulatory outcomes occur, XRP ETFs are approved, and Ripple's ODL adoption continues. As of late 2024, XRP reached $2.90 — within striking distance of its $3.84 ATH. Future performance depends on market conditions.
