The cryptocurrency industry witnessed a major rise and fall over the past couple of months. 2025 started out on a great note for most assets in the market. But many failed to carry this trend forward. A number of assets were seen losing out on all the gains that were accumulated during the last few months of 2024. Bitcoin (BTC) dip below $100,000 came as a big shock to the community. Amidst this, Ripple’s XRP was seen trying to keep up despite several hurdles.

A Look Into An Investment of $5,000

XRP started 2025 above the $2 mark. The asset was seen trading at $2.18 on January 1, 2025. An investment of $5,000 into the market would be equal to 2,293.58 XRP. Since the asset has witnessed several downfalls since the beginning of the year, the return on this investment is fairly low. According to calculations, an initial $5,000 investment would now be worth $5,550.47, reflecting an 11% return.

This may not seem like a major return as the year has just begun. As 2025 progresses, XRP might bring in life-changing gains to its investors.
