$XRP Price Over the Last 10 Years

On September 17, 2026, $XRP was trading around $1.30. Investing.com recorded a price of approximately $1.3017, while a CryptoCompare-sourced dataset published by YCharts placed $XRP at $1.298.

The chart also shows $XRP at approximately $1.2945, keeping the current market price within the same $1.29–$1.30 region.

Using $1.298 as the current reference price and $0.007446 as the September 2016 reference:

$1.298 ÷ $0.007446 = approximately 174.3,

This means $1 of $XRP purchased at the September 2016 price would represent approximately $174 in market value at $1.298, excluding fees and assuming the same number of $XRP was held throughout the period.

$XRP Has Increased Roughly 17,300% in 10 Years

Measured as a percentage change, $XRP has increased approximately 17,300% between the two reference dates.
