In a classic tale of phenomenal returns, an investment in Ripple’s native token XRP five years ago in 2020 has generated nearly 700% profits to traders. The ones who held on to the altcoin through all the ups and downs in the last six years have reaped the rewards. This shows that staying invested for a longer period generates tenfold returns.
The chart shared below shows that XRP was trading at the $0.18 range on April 16, 2020.
Fast-forward five years to 2026, and its price is hovering at the $1.43 level. That’s approximately 700% returns in five years, and is phenomenal profits, which even the stock market did not generate. The S&P 500 index has delivered returns of 185% since six years.
Therefore, XRP has outpaced the S&P 500 index by delivering 3.5x more returns in six years. When XRP reached a new all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025, it delivered profits of 1,930%. If investors had sold it then, their $10,000 investment could have turned into a whopping $203,000. Even if they sell it today, the $10,000 would have turned into $80,000, which is a 700% uptick.
