XRP Price

XRP (XRP) is a cryptocurrency listed on global exchanges and tracked across major data providers. It currently ranks #6 among all cryptocurrencies by total market value. It belongs to the Smart Contract Platform and Layer 1 (L1) category. Live price, market cap, trading volume, and historical performance are displayed on this page and refreshed continuously.

XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a permissionless distributed ledger that uses a unique Federated Byzantine Agreement consensus protocol (no mining, no PoS staking). Validators reach consensus on transaction ordering and inclusion every 3-5 seconds. The XRPL has a built-in decentralised exchange (DEX) and supports issued tokens and NFTs natively. XRP supply is fixed at 100 billion, with a small per-transaction burn that slowly reduces total supply. Ripple Labs, the company that originally developed the XRPL, holds a large portion of XRP in escrow released on a monthly schedule.

There are currently 62,241,508,805 XRP in circulation out of a maximum supply of 100,000,000,000, meaning approximately 62.2% of the total XRP that will ever exist has been issued. New tokens enter circulation through the protocol's pre-defined emission schedule.

XRP reached an all-time high of $3.65 on July 18, 2025. Currently the price sits 68.1% below this peak. All-time highs are useful benchmarks for assessing the asset's historical price range, but past performance does not predict future results.

XRP (XRP) is traded on most major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, and Bitstamp. Availability depends on your jurisdiction and the exchange's listings. After purchase, many users transfer their XRP to a self-custody wallet for long-term storage. This information is educational and does not constitute investment advice.

Cryptocurrencies, including XRP, are highly volatile and carry significant risk of loss. Over the past year, XRP has lost approximately 51.5% of its value. Whether XRP is appropriate for a given portfolio depends on the investor's individual risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial situation. Always research the project's fundamentals, understand the risks, and only allocate capital you can afford to lose. This page provides market data only, not personalised investment advice. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Bitcoin (BTC) was the first cryptocurrency, designed primarily as a digital store of value and peer-to-peer payment network with a fixed supply of 21 million coins. XRP (XRP) focuses on smart contract platform use cases, with a different technical design, supply schedule, and ecosystem. Bitcoin derives its value primarily from scarcity, security, and brand recognition, while XRP's value is tied to adoption within its specific use case and underlying network effects.

XRP (XRP) has a market capitalisation of approximately $72.37B, which ranks it #6 among all cryptocurrencies. Market cap is calculated as the circulating supply multiplied by the current price and is the most common way to compare the relative size of cryptocurrencies. It updates continuously as the price moves.

The price of XRP (XRP) is set continuously by supply and demand across global exchanges. The main factors are its circulating and maximum supply, trading volume and liquidity, overall crypto-market sentiment, its correlation with Bitcoin, regulatory developments, and real adoption of the underlying network. Because the market trades 24 hours a day, the price can change at any moment.

No one can reliably predict the future price of XRP or any cryptocurrency. Where sufficient history is available, this page shows a model-based forecast range derived from historical volatility and trend — it should be read as a scenario illustration, not a target or a promise. Crypto prices are highly volatile and shaped by events no model can foresee, so always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

"Safe" depends on two separate things: how you hold XRP (XRP), and price risk. For custody, use reputable exchanges and consider a self-custody hardware wallet for larger amounts, and never share your private keys or seed phrase. For price, every cryptocurrency is volatile and can lose value quickly, so only commit capital you can afford to lose. Being listed on major exchanges is not an endorsement or a guarantee against loss.

Whether XRP can be staked depends on its consensus mechanism. Proof-of-Stake networks let holders lock XRP — by running a validator or delegating to one — to help secure the network and earn rewards. Check XRP's underlying technology first, use only reputable providers, and be aware that staked funds can face lock-up periods and, on some networks, slashing penalties.
