The XRP token from Ripple appears to be stabilizing around the $0.50 mark. Following a surge in price in July 2023, prompted by a US district court decision affirming that selling XRP to retail clients did not violate securities laws contrary to claims made by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), the asset has struggled to gain significant momentum.
Presently, XRP shows declines of 5.7% in weekly charts, 4.4% in 14-day charts, and 10.7% over the past month. Nevertheless, the asset has maintained a positive trajectory, being up nearly 27% since January 2023.
The Incredible Growth of Ripple XRP Investments
If $100 had been invested weekly into XRP from September 2013 until the asset reached its peak in January 2018, the total investment would have amounted to $22,700. However, the portfolio’s value would have surged dramatically to over $5.3 million, representing an astounding increase of 23,311%.
Furthermore, had the $100 investments in Ripple’s XRP continued until the present day, the total investment would have reached $54,400. In this scenario, the portfolio’s value would have grown to $1.37 million, marking a remarkable growth of 2,421%.
XRP, a favored currency for cross-border remittance, has garnered significant popularity. Additionally, Ripple has forged numerous partnerships with global corporations to facilitate cross-border transactions, establishing a sturdy foundation for future expansion. Nonetheless, XRP encounters a challenge with an ongoing legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC. Although a district court ruled partially in Ripple’s favor, the case has advanced to the higher courts, leaving investors awaiting a final verdict. Should the higher court’s ruling align with the district court’s decision, we may witness a surge in XRP’s price and adoption.
