XRP’S Collapse Described as Third Largest Crash in History
Last Updated: 31 December 2020
Ripple’s XRP is plummeting almost at the speed of light, with the latest collapse likened to the two biggest market collapses in history.

XRP s market cap has fallen by 93% from $137B to under $10B. That makes the value of the XRP collapse bigger than Enron and Worldcom.
While not a bankruptcy, XRP is effectively the third largest collapse of all time behind Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual.
