XRP price in Australian dollars

The XRP price shown above is quoted in Australian dollars and refreshes throughout the day. Over the last 24 hours XRP is up 2.37%. Across the past week it is up 2.83%, and over 30 days it is down 11.51%.

Around A$2.80 billion of XRP changes hands globally in a typical 24-hour window, which matters more than most people expect: thin volume means wider spreads, so the price you pay on a small Australian exchange can differ from the headline figure. At a market value near A$123 billion, XRP is one of the ten largest crypto-assets in the world by market value.

XRP's highest recorded price is A$5.60. XRP currently trades about 65.2% below that level. A long way below an all-time high is not by itself a bargain — an asset can stay down for years, and some never recover.

XRP supply and market size

There are roughly 63.13 billion XRP in circulation today. XRP has a hard cap of 100.00 billion XRP, so no more can ever be created beyond that limit.

Supply matters because price alone tells you nothing about size. A coin trading at a few cents with hundreds of billions of units can be worth far more in total than a coin trading at several hundred dollars. Always compare market value, not unit price, when you are weighing one crypto-asset against another.

How to buy XRP in Australia

Buying XRP with Australian dollars follows the same path as any other crypto-asset. You will need photo ID, an Australian bank account and an exchange that actually lists XRP — not every AUD exchange does, especially outside the top 100.

  1. Pick an AUSTRAC-registered exchange that lists XRP against AUD, and complete identity verification.
  2. Deposit Australian dollars by PayID or bank transfer. Card deposits are faster but usually cost more.
  3. Check the spread and the trading fee before ordering. A limit order gives you control over the price you pay.
  4. Place your order for XRP, then record the date, AUD amount and fees — you will need them at tax time.
  5. For anything you plan to hold, move XRP off the exchange into a wallet you control.

Risks worth understanding before buying XRP

Crypto prices move far more than shares or property. A 20% move in a week is unremarkable for XRP, and drawdowns of 70-80% have happened across whole market cycles.

Even large crypto-assets carry platform risk. If an exchange fails, coins held there can be caught in an administration process, which is why self-custody matters for long-term holdings.

In Australia, disposing of XRP — selling it, swapping it for another coin, or spending it — is a capital gains tax event. Keep records from your first purchase; reconstructing them years later is painful.

XRP FAQ

What is the XRP price in AUD today?

XRP (XRP) last traded around A$1.95. The figure on this page updates through the day from live market data, and the price your exchange quotes will differ slightly because of spread and fees.

Can Australians buy XRP?

Yes, where an AUSTRAC-registered exchange lists XRP against Australian dollars. Availability varies by exchange, and smaller assets are listed in fewer places, so check the pair exists before you deposit funds.

Is XRP a good investment?

Nobody can answer that for you, and Jittie does not give financial advice. What we can say is what the data shows: XRP is one of the ten largest crypto-assets in the world by market value with a market value near A$123 billion, and crypto prices are volatile enough that you should only commit money you can afford to lose entirely.

How is XRP taxed in Australia?

The ATO treats crypto-assets as property, not currency. Selling XRP, swapping it for another coin, or spending it is a capital gains tax event, and holding for more than twelve months may qualify you for the CGT discount. Keep your records from day one.

Where should I store XRP?

Small amounts you actively trade can stay on an exchange. Anything you intend to hold is safer in a wallet you control, where you hold the seed phrase. Read our guide on crypto wallets before you move funds for the first time.
