XRP Drops 22 Percent in June, but July Has Historically Been a Strong Month

XRP endured another difficult month as the broader cryptocurrency market remained under pressure, but historical trends suggest July could offer a much needed turnaround for the Ripple associated token.

After falling sharply in June, XRP has already begun recovering, raising hopes that the asset could once again deliver the strong July performance it has recorded in recent years.

June Ends on a Weak Note

According to data from CryptoRank, XRP lost 22.1 percent during June, making it one of the token’s weakest monthly performances in recent memory.

Selling pressure pushed XRP to nearly $1.00 on most exchanges as concerns over the crypto market and escalating geopolitical tensions weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The decline marked its lowest price since late 2024 and caused XRP to slip out of the top five cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

The token has since recovered to around $1.15, although it still ranks behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, and BNB by market value.

Can July Deliver Another Rally?

Despite June’s losses, XRP investors have reasons to remain optimistic.

Historically, July has been one of the cryptocurrency’s strongest months. XRP has finished each of the last six Julys with positive returns, while five of those years produced gains exceeding 10 percent.

The standout performances came in 2020 and 2023, when XRP climbed 48.1 percent and 47.6 percent respectively. The token also gained 35 percent in 2025 and 31.2 percent in 2024. More modest advances were recorded in 2022 with a 14.6 percent increase and in 2021 with a 6.91 percent gain.

July 2026 has already started on a positive note, with XRP rising roughly 9 percent.

However, historical performance is not entirely one sided. Between 2015 and 2019, XRP finished every July in negative territory, highlighting that seasonal trends do not guarantee future performance.

One factor supporting the current recovery is the continued strength of spot XRP exchange traded funds. The investment products recently extended their streak of positive weekly inflows to nine consecutive weeks, reflecting sustained investor interest despite broader market weakness.

Consecutive Quarterly Losses Raise the Stakes

June’s decline also sealed another disappointing quarter for XRP.

The token finished the second quarter of 2026 down 22.4 percent, marking its third consecutive quarterly loss. XRP previously declined 35.4 percent during the fourth quarter of 2025 before falling another 27.1 percent in the first quarter of 2026.

While the extended losing streak is unusual, previous periods of sustained weakness have often been followed by significant recoveries.

Whether XRP can repeat that pattern will become clearer over the coming months as investors watch to see if the token can build on its early July momentum and finally reverse its longer term downtrend.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.net https://t.me/coinsignalpublic
