"The price of XRP is getting pummeled today. In the last 24 hours, the token's value has plunged nearly 14.5% as of the time of this writing, falling from above $1.50 per coin to around $1.36. And that's just the most recent price shock for the coin. Looking back over the past month, XRP is down more than a staggering 41%, according to Yahoo Finance data. On January 5, the coin was trading as high as $2.41."
"Even more astounding: XPR topped $3.60 a coin in July 2025, meaning it's now down more than 60% from its summer high. For XRP investors, the token's fall over the past six months is difficult to stomach. Many had high hopes for the rising cryptocurrency star, especially after Donald Trump entered the White House for a second term last January, leading an administration seen as very crypto-friendly."
XRP has plunged sharply over recent months, with a nearly 14.5% drop in 24 hours to about $1.36 and a month-to-date decline exceeding 41%. The token fell from $2.41 on January 5 and from a July 2025 peak near $3.60, amounting to a drop of over 60% from that high. Broader cryptocurrency markets are also weakening, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB falling substantially. Renewed strength in the U.S. dollar contributed to selling pressure after President Trump named Kevin Warsh as his pick for Federal Reserve chair, which sent the dollar surging.
