XRP hit its all-time high of $3.84 on January 4, 2018, riding the same euphoria lifting every major coin that winter — then spent the next several years grinding below a dollar, weighed down further by a multi-year SEC lawsuit over whether it was even a security.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the January 2018 price for XRP come from?
It's the same method the main CryptoFumble calculator uses for any date older than ~365 days: log-interpolation between known market data points (a workaround for CoinGecko's free-tier limit, which won't return history past one year back). It's an estimate, not that day's exact exchange quote.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is a hindsight calculator for fun, not investment advice. Crypto is highly volatile and past performance doesn't predict future results.
Can I run this with a different amount or date?
Yes — the link above opens the main calculator pre-loaded with this coin and date, where you can change either to anything you like.
Historical price is CryptoFumble's own estimate (log-interpolated from known market data points), not that day's exact exchange data — the same method the main calculator uses for dates older than a year. Current price was fetched on 2026-09-06 and may have moved since — the homepage always shows a live price. Not financial advice.
