XRP’s Current Market Position
XRP currently trades near $2.96 with a market cap around $176 billion, ranking it among the top three cryptocurrencies by capitalization. Daily trading volume often exceeds $2 billion across major exchanges. Historical peaks differ slightly by data provider - $3.84 (CoinMarketCap) versus $3.65 (CoinGecko), but in either case, XRP is trading near its highest sustained levels since 2018.
Price History And Recent Performance
XRP’s first surge above $3 came in the 2017–18 bull run, driven by speculative enthusiasm and early Ripple partnerships. That momentum stalled as the SEC’s December 2020 lawsuit cast doubt over its regulatory status.
