Over the past 12 years, historical data shows that August has often not been XRP's 'lucky month.' Since its inception, this cryptocurrency has only ended August in the green 4 times: 2016, 2017, 2020, and 2021. In contrast, in most of the remaining years, XRP has recorded price declines, with some years experiencing significant drops. The year 2023 is considered a major 'shock' when XRP fell by up to 26.6% just in August.

The Best Augusts in XRP History

  • 2021: Record growth of +59.9% – this was XRP's 'most brilliant' August.

  • 2017: Ranked second with an increase of +52.1%.

  • The remaining two years (2016 and 2020) also recorded profit levels but did not exceed the two peaks mentioned above.

Although the number of increases is less than half the number of decreases, current market data suggests that August 2025 could mark the fifth time XRP ends the month in the green.

Current Performance in August 2025

According to data from CryptoRank, as of the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.11, up 3.36% from the beginning of the month. This figure shows a significant improvement compared to August 2024, when this coin decreased by 9.17%. The years when XRP ended August in the red include: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2024.

The Worst Augusts

  • 2018: The steepest decline in August history at -23%.

Average Performance in August

  • Average: +1.25% (slight profit)

  • Median: -5.72% (loss)

Thus, statistically speaking, August often trends negatively for XRP. If this coin only achieves the historical average increase, the price will stop at around $3.0577 by the end of the month.

Conclusion

Although historical data shows that August is not a 'harvest season' for XRP, the current market trend is bringing hope that 2025 could break this negative trend. If the upward momentum is maintained, XRP will record its fifth August in history ending with a profit – a positive signal for investors before the end of the year.
