8 years ago, XRP traded at $3.40. Today, it sits at $1.05. In just a month, a carton of eggs went from $0.26 to $1.13.
That comparison is what crypto commentator Ash Crypto (@AshCrypto) put in front of his audience to start the month of August, and the numbers caught many off guard.
The post noted that $10,000 invested in XRP eight years ago is now worth $3,000. That $10,000 in eggs one month ago is now worth $43,400. “Bro, we got outperformed by fucking Eggs,” Ash Crypto wrote.

What the Image Shows
The image Ash Crypto shared presents two side-by-side comparisons. The first shows XRP’s price 8 years ago at $3.40 and its current price of $1.05, a decline of roughly 69%. The second shows egg prices, with a one-month comparison from $0.26 to $1.13, a gain of roughly 335%.
XRP holders who bought at the 2018 peak have seen significant losses in dollar terms, while egg prices have surged sharply in recent weeks.
How the Community Responded
Several crypto community members weighed in. One user took the comparison lightly, suggesting people buy more eggs. Another raised the question of whether comparing a one-month timeframe to an eight-year one is a fair measurement.
One commenter noted that eggs, essentially breakfast, turned out to be the better investment strategy. Another called it humbling for an entire industry.
One pointed to CME futures, ETFs, and other financial instruments as factors that have suppressed Bitcoin’s price ceiling, linking those conditions to the broader crypto environment. He suggested that Bitcoin would have hit $1 million if these products were never approved.

The Math on XRP’s Recovery
For XRP to match the 335% egg price increase from its current price of $1.05, it has to reach approximately $4.57. That is above XRP’s all-time high of $3.65 attained in July 2025. Matching egg’s one-month performance would require XRP to set a new all-time high and keep rising.
However, not everyone is discouraged. Many investors see current levels as an opportunity for those who regret not buying in 2018. Many community members termed this revelation humorous because they are confident in XRP’s future and see much more than a 335% gain on the horizon.
