XRP climbed 15.39% over the past 24 hours to reach a price of $1.16, pushing its market capitalization to $68.52 billion. The move represents one of the more significant single-day price swings for the asset in recent trading.

The daily gain aligns closely with XRP's seven-day performance, which stands at a nearly identical 15.05% increase. The parallel between the two figures suggests the bulk of the weekly advance was concentrated in the most recent trading session.

Over the broader 30-day window, XRP is up 2.68%, indicating that Thursday's surge follows a relatively flat period for the token across the prior month. The contrast between the modest monthly gain and the sharp daily move underscores the volatility characteristic of the crypto market.

At $68.52 billion in market capitalization, XRP remains among the larger digital assets by that measure. The 24-hour price action places it among the stronger performers in the crypto space for the session ending August 20, 2026.
