Quick overview

---

XRP surged by an astounding 281 percent in November alone after Donald Trump won the US presidential election, and there was renewed hope of a significant regulatory change in the nation, making for a very exciting and positive end to 2024. The asset continued to rise and reached its January all-time high of $3.40, but it was unable to break it on its first try.

XRP finally achieved the unimaginable in July when it reached $3.65 for the first time, following a six-month break driven by some dubious international policies by the now-acting US President Trump. However, things have mostly gotten worse since then.

October saw a 12 percent monthly decline, which was followed by a 13.8 percent decline in November and a further 14.8 percent decline in December.

According to data from CryptoRank, the year started with a 10.6 percent decline in January and an even more agonizing 16.2 percent decline in February.

But that was only a short time after the token’s launch, and the cryptocurrency market as a whole was completely different (smaller, less legitimate, and more volatile). Therefore, it’s reasonable to say that the six-month losing streak in 2025–2026 was the worst in XRP’s recent history.
