Polymarket XRP Data

XRP prices, trades, and order books on Polymarket, captured every 250 milliseconds from 2024 onward. XRP is one of the four anchor assets for the Up/Down archive, and mostly appears in 5-minute, 15-minute, and 4-hour windows.

Figures measured as of 2026-08-26 on the published PolyOrderbooks archive.

What's in the archive

The XRP market types the archive records

XRP's footprint in the archive is concentrated in Up/Down contracts on 5-minute, 15-minute, and 4-hour windows, with a smaller presence in price thresholds and event-linked markets. As with BTC, ETH, and SOL, each order book row carries bid, ask, mid, top-of-book depth on both sides, and cumulative traded volume, stamped with a wall clock and sequence number.

The four anchor assets share one archive-level property: 250ms capture is uniform across them, and the price-threshold family adds strike-style levels on XRP as on ETH.

Measured

XRP in the August 23 repricing window

XRP appears in the cataloged August 23 event in which ETH, BNB, DOGE, and SOL hit lower bounds within a 26-second window. XRP's recorded mid moved from 0.500 toward a 0.990 book as the event unfolded, with resting depth front-running the move.

The sample is small relative to the BTC settlement study, so per-asset XRP claims stay descriptive: the same depth-first pattern appears, not a full measured distribution.

Schema

Fields on every XRP row

  • timestamp (RFC3339, UTC) and sequence number
  • asset: XRP, and the contract ID
  • bid price, ask price, and mid
  • top-of-book bid and ask depth in contracts
  • cumulative traded volume for the contract
  • market type flag: Up/Down, threshold, or event-linked

Access

How to get the XRP data

The XRP series is included in the full archive, the order book history download, and the API. For live XRP prices Polymarket's own free API is usually the right answer. A free sample of any single XRP market is available without an account.

Practices

The XRP workout

  • Pull XRP's frames for the August 23 family window and confirm its lower bound repriced inside the measured 26 seconds alongside ETH, BNB, and SOL.
  • Compare XRP's depth swing on both sides against the ETH reference (bid −96%, ask +491%) and record how the smaller coin's book redistributed; the contrast is the data.
  • Compute XRP's one-sided share and round-grid rate; the expectation from the measured corpus is the same high-90s texture at a thinner absolute depth.
  • Add XRP to the cross-coin reprice-time table so its 26-second participation sits next to SOL and ETH — the family matrix is the deliverable, not the single-coin table.

Deeper

The measured reality

XRP illustrates the venue's uniform structure at a smaller scale: the identical 250ms record, the identical ladder schema, and the same fast participation in the measured family collapse — the product does not change shape with the asset, only with its depth.

The honest caveat is liquidity: XRP's books are thinner, its median trades smaller, and its one-sided frames at least as common; every XRP study should state depth alongside price conclusions so the smaller-scale caveat is literal, not buried.

The XRP page exists because the same product runs on four measured assets with different depths; the honest generalization is that the microscope (250ms books) sees identically while the slides are thinner, and the archive lets you verify that for yourself.

Conclusion

The honest takeaway

XRP data closes the family picture: the fourth measured seat in the 26-second collapse, the same schema as the majors, and the same honest caveats about thinner books.

The value of the XRP page is the contrast it documents — same microstructure, smaller depth — which is exactly the information a trader or researcher needs before quoting XRP without a book behind it.

Study XRP with the family table in hand: the measured reprice seconds, depth swings, and one-sided shares of all four coins are the context a single-coin view cannot provide.

The practical starting file for XRP work is the family table itself: four coins, one event, measured reprice seconds and depth swings — a single Parquet from the archive is both the dataset and the context.

FAQ

Does the archive include XRP 5-minute Up/Down markets?

Yes. XRP is one of the four anchor assets, alongside BTC, ETH, and SOL, for the Up/Down families at 250ms capture.

How deep is XRP coverage versus BTC?

Continuous for long stretches in the Up/Down families, but published per-asset measurement is thinner than the BTC settlement study. Treat XRP stats as descriptive.

Can I download XRP order book history?

Yes. Same 250ms schema as every other asset, with depth columns the free Polymarket API does not serve.
