XRP Price History – Ripple USD Historical Prices & ATH

XRP price history spans from its 2012 launch at fractions of a cent to an all-time high of $3.84 USD on January 4, 2018. In 2025, XRP reached a new multi-year high of $3.65 before consolidating to current levels around $1.37.

The complete XRP price history in dollars reflects the broader cryptocurrency market cycles while also being uniquely influenced by Ripple's legal battles, partnership announcements, and the evolution of the global payments landscape. Historical data is publicly available on platforms including CoinLore, CoinGecko, Yahoo Finance, and CoinMarketCap.

In 2012, XRP launched at less than $0.01. Through 2013–2016, the price remained below $0.10, with modest growth tied to early adoption by banks testing RippleNet. The first major price surge occurred in 2017, when XRP rose from $0.006 in January to $0.40 by May, then exploded to $3.84 in the January 2018 bull market peak.

• 2012: Launch at ~$0.005 USD
• 2017 peak: $0.40 USD (May)
• All-time high: $3.84 USD (January 4, 2018)
• 2020 SEC lawsuit low: ~$0.17 USD
• 2023 legal win rally: $0.90 USD peak

The SEC lawsuit filed in December 2020 created a prolonged period of price suppression as many US exchanges delisted XRP. Ripple's partial legal victory in July 2023 — when a federal court ruled that XRP was not a security when sold to retail investors — triggered a significant price recovery. The subsequent approval of spot XRP ETFs in November 2025 marked another historic inflection point in XRP price history.

"XRP is down more than 60% from its 2025 high of $3.65, with five straight months of losses — but historical patterns suggest recovery cycles follow such consolidations."
