XRP price today and Ripple news
The XRP price at the start of the day and now – at the top of the page, in dollars. Below is the XRP and Ripple news for the current day: source, time and the coin's own move – what is left after bitcoin is taken out.
XRP price right now
XRP now and XRP at the start of the day – both figures sit at the top. The XRP price today is the 00:00 UTC price, the baseline for the daily result; the bot adds the live dollar price next to it once it has one. KuCoin is the source, Gate the fallback. Do not be put off by the low price per coin: about 63 billion XRP are in circulation, so it only looks "cheap" per coin – by market cap it is one of the five largest.
XRP news today
Everything published today about the coin and about the Ripple company – in one feed, newest first. XRP gets especially many forecasts and loud headlines. The bot does not hide them, but marks them with the "mass" level so that they do not mix with official messages. Each line shows what the price did after it.
Why XRP is going up or down
The first thing to check is bitcoin. XRP follows it with extra force: over the last 90 days its beta is about 1.6, that is, when bitcoin falls by 1%, XRP loses about 1.6% on average. If XRP's own move is near zero, look at the crypto market today. If not, look for four types of news in the feed: the Ripple escrow, flows into exchange-traded funds on XRP, XRP Ledger network updates and courts or regulators. On October 30 XRP grew 1.53% while bitcoin fell 0.86% – an own move of +2.91 pp.
How the XRP price today is measured
The top figure is the XRP/USDT price on KuCoin, sampled every 15 minutes, with Gate as a fallback. The XRP day starts at 00:00 UTC – the evening before in New York. Check the current XRP price against that starting point later in the day and you see at a glance whether it is a green or a red day.
The 24-hour percentage alone says little about XRP. The coin is strongly linked to the market: its 90-day correlation with bitcoin is 0.89. That is why next to the price stands the own move – the change in XRP minus beta multiplied by the change in bitcoin. If the whole market fell by 2% and XRP by 3%, about −0.2 pp of it is "its own", the rest is the market.
XRP and Ripple are not the same thing
XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger network. Ripple is a private US company that holds most of the XRP not yet released and builds payment products on the network. So messages about the company and about the coin are two different layers. The company's successes (purchases, licenses, revenue) do not turn into XRP price growth automatically: Ripple's shareholders and the coin's holders are different people. In 2026 this is especially clear: the company is having a strong year, while XRP has lost more than 60% from its July 2025 high ($3.65).
What moves the XRP price now
The escrow on the 1st
About 31.5 billion XRP sit in the Ripple escrow – a wallet that opens on a schedule. On the 1st of every month 1 billion XRP opens, and usually Ripple locks 600–800 million back right away. 200–300 million XRP a month can go to the market. That is why on the 1st the XRP feed almost always starts with the escrow – and the bot compares the price reaction on such days with ordinary ones.
Exchange-traded funds on XRP
Flows into XRP funds show the demand of big money. On October 31 the bot recorded a net outflow of $5.07 million from spot funds on XRP and ZEC – that day XRP lagged the market by 0.93 pp. On the same day a story came out that XRP reserves on Binance were the lowest since 2022. Two stories pointing in different directions on one day is a normal picture, so measuring the reaction matters more than the headline.
The XRP Ledger network
In October 2026 a bug from 2015 was disclosed that in theory allowed creating XRP above the 100 billion limit. It was urgently fixed, and no traces of its use were found. The next package of fixes activates on November 4, 2026, at about 14:46 UTC. The bot marks network releases and xrpl.org blog posts as official news.
Ripple latest news: where the XRP feed comes from
The official sources are releases of the rippled network software on GitHub, the xrpl.org blog, press releases and the Insights section on the Ripple site, and Ripple's YouTube channel. Then come major crypto media (CoinDesk, The Block, Cointelegraph, U.Today and others), news Telegram channels, Google News and Bing News. Posts on X are collected once a day, and we do not publish the post text – only a link. Ripple news and XRP news are one and the same feed: the bot merges all spellings of the coin.
I myself held a little XRP, took it out at almost zero – and then read in the news that the coin had gone up four times. This page is made so that you learn such things on the same day, not a month later.

The coin guide, the escrow, the SEC case history and stats for every day live on the XRP page; the formulas are in the methodology.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I see the XRP price today?
At the top: the XRP price in dollars at the start of the UTC day, and the live price next to it when the bot has one. KuCoin is the source, Gate the fallback.
How has XRP moved so far today?
Compare the live price with the start-of-day price next to it: the gap is XRP's move so far today.
Where can I see the latest XRP news?
On this page: the bot collects publications about XRP and Ripple every 30 minutes from official channels, media, X and news feeds and shows the price reaction to each.
Are Ripple and XRP the same thing?
No. Ripple is a company, XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger network. The feed has both layers, but the company's growth does not have to lift the XRP price.
Why is XRP down together with bitcoin?
XRP is strongly linked to the market: over 90 days it moved about 1.6 times harder than bitcoin. So next to the price stands XRP's own move – without bitcoin.
What is the XRP escrow and why does the 1st matter?
On the 1st of every month Ripple opens 1 billion XRP from the escrow and usually locks 600–800 million back. The escrow news comes out that day, and the bot measures the price reaction.
How often is the XRP feed refreshed?
Every 30 minutes the bot checks its sources; the page build time is under the heading. Yesterday's recap goes up each morning on the What happened to XRP in 24 hours page.
Does this page predict the XRP price?
No. It records the news and measures what the price has already done. No predictions, no advice.
Every morning – a daily report for each coin, during the day – spikes and drops as soon as the bot catches them. A folder for every coin.
