XRP Price Prediction: Will XRP Ever Hit a New All-Time High?

Ripple’s native crypto XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) started trading in 2013 for pennies and hit an all-time high of $3.84 five years later, on January 4, 2018. But that’s the best the coin has ever reached over the past 8 years.

Every XRP holder keeps asking the same question. Will XRP ever hit a new all-time high? The closest it came to matching its ATH was in July 2025, when the XRP price reached $3.65, stopping less than 5% short. The coin has lost 71% of its value since then and hovers around $1.05 today.

XRP Hasn’t Set a New All-Time High in 8 Years

XRP crashed with the rest of the broader market after its January 2018 peak and spent the next three years trading between $0.20 and $0.50. But what really caused a setback for XRP was the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020, which caused U.S. exchanges to delist the coin. Despite losing the U.S. market and getting battered by the SEC’s case, XRP hit $1.96 by April 2021.

Then things turned in July 2023, when Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP sold on public exchanges was not a security. U.S. exchanges relisted the token, and XRP got back the legal footing it had lost two and a half years earlier.

The XRP price rallied above $2 again when Trump won the 2024 election and Gary Gensler announced he would step down as SEC chair, which holders read as the end of Ripple’s case. XRP climbed to $3.40 in mid-January 2025 and briefly overtook Tether to become the third-largest cryptocurrency, then reached $3.65 in July as the case moved toward its close.
