XRP Price Glitch Pushes Value to $21,000 on Live TV

Another XRP price glitch has surfaced, this time on live American TV, with the value of the altcoin suddenly soaring to tens of thousands.

XRP has been the subject of multiple price glitches over the past few years, but this trend seemed to have paused in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Interestingly, a recent re-occurrence has taken the XRP community by storm, especially considering the rate of change and the potential audience reach.

This week, amid the market recovery that began on Sunday, cable news channel Real America’s Voice presented an outlook on the cryptocurrency market during the American Sunrise Early Edition hosted by Jake Novak.

XRP Price Soars to $21K

However, the market data in the presentation showed some interesting variations from real values. Notable among these variations was the fact that XRP soared to a price of $21,355 in an apparent glitch. This figure represented a 961,936% increase from the altcoin’s actual value of $2.22 at the time.

This XRP price glitch persisted throughout the episode’s market outlook, with the price of the asset fluctuating between $2.22 and $21,355 on the window. Several XRP community members have called attention to this incident, which represents one of multiple XRP price glitch instances over the years.

Interestingly, the latest glitch appears to have been a general issue, not unique to XRP. Data shows that Bitcoin (BTC) also observed a drastic price variation, with its value dropping to $43,636 during the market outlook. This was a massive 49% drop from its real-world price of $86,246 at the time of the presentation.

Notably, Novak confirmed that the “graph had gone a little funky,” highlighting a technical issue with the market outlook presentation. However, the political analyst only spotlighted Bitcoin’s price anomaly, ignoring the XRP price glitch and the aberration with other asset prices.

Other Price Glitches

For instance, Ethereum (ETH), which changed hands at $2,345, shot up to about $6,000, marking a 156% increase. Further, Solana (SOL) rose from $139 to $2,896, a more substantial 1,983% surge. Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) rose 15,900% from $0.22 to $32, and Cardano (ADA) increased 10,198% from $0.67 to 69.

Multiple Cases of XRP Price Glitch

Notably, despite the general effect of the technical issue, the XRP price glitch represented the largest price variation. Some XRP community members have continued to point to glitches such as this as suggesting that XRP price is not where it ought to be.

However, a few skeptics call attention to the fact that other assets have witnessed similar glitches, downplaying these speculations. Pundits like “Mr. Intuitive” have highlighted these claims, arguing that no other asset has experienced as many price glitches as XRP.

Most of these instances of XRP price glitch dominated the market in 2023 and 2024. In March 2023 community members identified an XRP price spike from $0.57 to $74 on a lesser-known exchange Atlantis. Also, XRP surged to $50 on Gemini in August 2023 shortly after the exchange listed the asset.
