While most high-profile cryptocurrencies are in the red on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, XRP is a notable exception. At the start of the year, the price of a single token was $2.13 — by press time on March 24, prices had increased to $2.46.

Accordingly, a $1,000 investment in XRP made at the start of the year would now be worth $1,155, having accrued a $155 profit.
The optimal time to sell would have been January 16, when XRP was trading at a price of $3.38. A $1,000 investment made on January 1 and liquidated on January 16 would have netted investors a 58.68% return — or $1,586 in absolute terms.
However, this is merely a snapshot of a little under four months. For the sake of reference, a $1,000 investment made in XRP at the start of 2024, when it was changing hands at $0.61, would have netted a 454.09% return. That investment would be worth $5,540 today — a stark reminder that significant time in the market usually tends to be a prerequisite for sizable returns. XRP’s market capitalization has expanded by $107.6 billion compared to this time last year — and further growth will likewise take time.
Despite proving susceptible to market-wide headwinds in the short term, market commentators and analysts remain broadly bullish when it comes to XRP.
Renowned technical analyst Gert van Lagen has outlined a double bottom/ascending triangle chart pattern that possibly hints at a rally to levels as high as $38. Chart pattern researcher Ali Martinez pointed to a symmetric triangle pattern that could ignite a rally to $15.
At the same time, the number of XRP addresses has reached a record high of 7 million — indicating a strong level of consistent, broad appeal.
