XRP trades around $1, its weakest since Nov 2024, down 72% from the $3.65 peak. ETFs have attracted $1.47 bn. See why the token is falling despite Ripple’s
XRP slipped below $1 on June 27, 2026, marking a 52‑week low and a 72% drop from its $3.65 mid‑2025 peak, even as Ripple’s payment network records record‑high activity and its ETFs have amassed over $1 billion in inflows【1】.

The XRP Ledger’s transaction volume is climbing toward record levels, with liquidity in its trading pools more than tripling this year. Yet most of that activity is flowing into Ripple’s own dollar‑pegged stablecoin, RLUSD, which now holds about $800 million on the ledger and is paired with XRP in the second‑largest pool【1】. Because RLUSD is concentrated in ten addresses—largely institutions and trading desks—new on‑chain money is bypassing XRP, limiting price upside.
Ripple continues to release roughly 1 billion XRP from escrow each month, re‑locking most of it. About 33 billion XRP remain in escrow, leaving roughly 62 billion in circulation out of the eventual 100 billion supply, which translates to a fully‑diluted market cap near $102 billion versus a current market cap around $63 billion【1】. Spot XRP ETFs, launched in late 2025, have drawn $1.47 billion in assets and have kept inflows steady despite the token’s price decline【1】. Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick still projects a $28 price by 2030—a 27‑fold rise from today—while Bitwise’s valuation models span $29.32 to $0.13 for the same horizon【1】.
| Token metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Circulating supply | ~62 billion XRP |
| Escrowed supply | ~33 billion XRP |
| Monthly unlock | ~1 billion XRP |
| RLUSD holdings | ~$800 million |
XRP’s price now reflects a disconnect between Ripple’s expanding payments business and the token’s market perception, leaving the $28 forecast a distant, highly uncertain target unless institutional demand shifts from RLUSD to XRP itself.
