A live TV broadcast mistakenly showed XRP surging to $21,355, a 961,936% spike.
Other assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, also displayed a surge in prices. This continues a long history of XRP price glitches, fueling speculation within the community. The XRP community is once again buzzing after a price glitch on live American television showed the asset soaring to $21,355, a 961,936% increase from its actual market value of $2.22. The anomaly appeared during a cryptocurrency market segment on American Sunrise Early Edition, a show on cable news channel Real America’s Voice, hosted by Jake Novak.
Is the XRP incident a widespread price glitch?
The glitch persisted throughout the segment, causing confusion as XRP’s price fluctuated between $2.22 and $21,355 on the display. While Bitcoin (BTC) also showed a dramatic price variation—falling to $43,636 from its real value of $86,246—Novak only acknowledged BTC’s anomaly, ignoring the XRP issue.

Other assets also experienced bizarre price distortions:
- Ethereum (ETH) jumped from $2,345 to $6,000 (+156%).
- Solana (SOL) surged from $139 to $2,896 (+1,983%).
- Dogecoin (DOGE) skyrocketed from $0.22 to $32 (+15,900%).
- Cardano (ADA) spiked from $0.67 to $69 (+10,198%).
Despite the widespread impact of this latest glitch, XRP’s price increase was by far the most extreme. Many in the XRP community believe these recurring glitches hint at deeper market manipulation or hidden valuation metrics. Skeptics, however, argue that similar glitches have affected multiple assets over the years, dismissing claims of the coin being uniquely undervalued. Whether this latest incident is another technical mishap or something more remains a topic of debate within the Ripple coin community.
