XRP is trading around $1.33, about 62.5% below its January 2018 peak of $3.55, unlike Bitcoin and Ether which have surpassed their previous highs. Analysts attribute XRP's lag to a 63% increase in circulating supply, weak fund inflows, declining trading activity, and Ripple's focus on payments rather than trending crypto sectors. Additionally, regulatory uncertainty from the SEC lawsuit against Ripple has dampened investor demand. Despite briefly surpassing its old high in 2025, XRP has struggled to regain momentum, highlighting challenges in its market position compared to other major cryptocurrencies.
XRP's market context shows a significant 63% increase in circulating supply since its peak, contributing to its price being about 62.5% below the January 2018 high of $3.55.
