In a recent episode of Real America’s Voice’s American Sunrise Early Edition, there was an unexpected mistake as the price of XRP was shown as $21,355.
Throughout the market outlook segment, the XRP price glitch remained on screen, fluctuating between $2.22 and $21,355- a 961,936% surge from its actual value. The error caught the crypto community’s attention and sparked discussions about financial data feed inaccuracies.
The glitch did not just hit XRP; prominent cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA) also reflected wrong values.
Bitcoin was displayed at $43,636, about 50% less than its actual price, while Ethereum accelerated to $6,000, an unprecedented 156% surge. Likewise, Solana went up to $2,896 (1,983% surge), Dogecoin soared to $32 (15,900% surge), and Cardano went up to $69, a stunning 10,198% rise.
Throughout the segment, show host Jake Novak did recognize the Bitcoin price anomaly, stating that the “graph had gone a little funky.”
However, he never touched upon the XRP glitch, even with its enormous disparity. Observant viewers and crypto investors caught on to the error right away, speculating as to whether or not data feeds used on financial news programs were accurate.
This is not the first that XRP has had its price incorrectly displayed. In June 2024, there was a glitch on TradingView that temporarily displayed XRP at $9,864, well beyond its true market price.
This was followed by another instance in October 2023 when Binance customers saw XRP at $5,791 as the result of a data feed problem. Again, in November 2023, CoinMarketCap temporarily posted XRP at $1,919, and this confused traders.
Recurring price glitches raise concerns about data accuracy on financial platforms, potentially misleading investors and causing unnecessary market reactions.
As of now, XRP is trading at $2.10, reflecting a 5.5% decline over the past 24 hours. Over the past week, the token has dropped by 12.9%, and on a monthly scale, it has seen a 7.3% decrease. Despite the price dip, XRP’s trading volume has surged by 14.5% to $4.18 billion, indicating active market participation.
