XRP Suffers Fourth 40% Drawdown, Plunges 70% from $3.65 High
XRP•XRP has collapsed roughly 70% from its July 2025 peak, including a 46% decline over the past six months. This marks the fourth time in five years the token has endured a drawdown exceeding 40% within a six-month span.
1. Price Peak and Current Levels
XRP reached an all-time high in July 2025 and has since fallen roughly 70%, trading near historical lows after a 46% collapse in the past six months. Persistent volatility underscores challenges for the token’s near-term stability.
2. Four Significant Drawdown Events
Over five years, XRP has registered four drawdowns exceeding 40% within six-month windows: a 73% plunge post-SEC lawsuit, an 85% drop during the 2021–22 bear market, a post-FTX collapse below prior support levels, and the recent 68% decline from its last peak.
3. Key Market Catalysts
Major catalysts included unregistered security allegations, the Terra/LUNA implosion, the FTX bankruptcy sell-off, and a 100% China tariff announcement that triggered $19 billion in leveraged position liquidations, each accelerating XRP’s losses.
