$1k XRP Investment Loses Nearly 80% Value Over Past Year Despite Robust Fundamentals

A $1,000 investment in XRP on the day the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) launched in the US is now worth just over a third of its original value. As of September 18, 2026, that initial investment would be worth around $428.60.

The XRPR ETF was launched on September 18, 2025, and initially traded at $3.08 per XRP. With $1,000 invested in the token at that time, you could have purchased approximately 324.7 tokens.

Over the past 12 months, the price of XRP has dropped significantly - down by over 57% to its current value of around $1.32 per token. This means the initial investment has lost roughly $571.4 in value.
