XRP started 2020 at approximately $0.19 and spent the first half of the year quietly consolidating. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp drop in March 2020 — XRP briefly touched $0.11 — before recovering alongside the broader market.

The second half of 2020 brought optimism. Bitcoin's institutional adoption narrative drove the entire crypto market higher. By November 2020, XRP had recovered to $0.70 — its highest price since 2018. Volume surged, and sentiment was bullish.

Then came December 22, 2020. The US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs and two of its executives, alleging that XRP was an unregistered security and that Ripple had raised $1.3 billion through illegal XRP sales. The price collapsed immediately — falling from $0.70 to around $0.17 within 72 hours.

Major exchanges including Coinbase, Binance US, and Kraken suspended or delisted XRP trading for US customers. Despite this, XRP did not disappear — international exchanges continued trading, and the XRP community remained active. The legal battle would ultimately last nearly five years before being resolved in Ripple's favor.
