The broader crypto markets delivered some much-needed gains throughout July with Ripple’s cross-border token extending its impressive streak alive since 2020. 🖤
However the new month has arrived and the past four Augusts have not been bullish for XRP at all. Can this asset defy its painful August record or is another leg down coming soon?
Seven Wins In A Row 🌙
Before diving into August’s four-in-a-row red streak let’s examine XRP’s strongest monthly performance. Data from CryptoRank shows the cross-border token just matched its best run of monthly gains. July 2026 added only a 3% increase yet that still marks eight green Julys since 2014 out of thirteen total. April shares a similar record of positive months.
What makes July even more favorable for the altcoin is its consecutive streak of green closes. XRP closed its seventh July in a row positive stretching back to the 48% surge in July 2020. 🕸️
Other strong July performances arrived in 2023 with 47.6%, 2024 at 31.2% and 2025 posting 35%. The modest 3% this year stands as the lowest among prior green Julys due to the ongoing bear market global uncertainty inflation fears and raging wars.
Nevertheless Ripple’s coin still rebounded slightly from the June dump when it fell over 22%.
Four Red Augusts Incoming 💀
The past four editions of August finished red for XRP. In 2022 the asset dropped 13.6%. It tumbled harder in 2023 losing 26.6%. More modest declines followed with 9.17% in 2024 and 8.15% in 2025. 🔪
History reveals only four out of thirteen Augusts ended higher. Two delivered massive gains including a 52% surge in 2017 and a 60% rise in 2021 both during bull markets unlike the current environment. The median shows a 6.57% decline across prior Augusts contrasting the 6.91% July average.
DeFi plays remain the real dark allure amid these seasonal swings 🦇 while numbers like 3% or 26.6% remind us how volatile the game stays. 🌑
