When people ask for the "price of Ripple" or the "Ripple price today in USD", they almost always mean XRP, the coin of the XRP Ledger. Ripple is the private company most associated with it. The figure above is XRP's live price in US dollars from CoinGecko. To work out what an amount of XRP is worth, use the XRP calculator.
XRP is the native coin of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain built for fast, cheap payments that has run since 2012. There's no mining: all 100 billion XRP were created at launch. The company Ripple uses XRP in its payment products and holds a large share, but it doesn't control the ledger. Full XRP fact sheet →
Ripple or XRP: whose price is this?
Ripple is a private US company that builds payment software. XRP is a cryptocurrency that runs on the XRP Ledger, a public blockchain Ripple supports but doesn't control. This page shows XRP's price. Ripple itself has no public share price, because its shares aren't listed on any stock exchange, so buying XRP doesn't make you an owner of Ripple. The full explanation is in XRP vs. Ripple.
If you're thinking of buying
XRP is sold on many crypto exchanges and, in the US, through spot XRP ETFs in brokerage accounts. Which platforms you can use depends on your country and, in the US, your state. How to buy Ripple (XRP) safely covers the steps and the two XRP rules that catch beginners: the 1 XRP reserve and destination tags.
What moves the XRP price
No one sets the XRP price. It's the last price at which buyers and sellers traded on exchanges, averaged across many markets. It moves with demand from investors and traders, news and regulation, interest rates and the wider stock market, big holders buying or selling, and leverage being wiped out in fast drops. Short-term moves are close to impossible to predict. See why crypto prices fall and how to read a crypto chart.
What the numbers mean
- Price is the latest traded price in US dollars, averaged across exchanges. The price on your exchange can differ a little, and buying usually costs more than the quoted price because of spreads and fees (see the true cost calculator).
- 24h change compares now with the price exactly 24 hours ago, and 7-day change with a week ago. The chart shows hourly prices over the last 7 days.
- Market cap is price × coins in circulation. It's a snapshot of size, not money invested (market cap explained).
- Volume is how much was traded in the last 24 hours across tracked exchanges.
- All-time high is the highest price ever recorded and how far today's price is from it.
