XRP briefly showed at $126 on CNBC due to a ticker error pasting Solana\u2019s price, reviving XRP \u201cghost print\u201d lore despite being only a display glitch.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An on\u2011air pricing glitch briefly turned XRP into a three\u2011digit asset this week, after CNBC\u2019s \u201cCrypto World\u201d show flashed the token at $126.01, implying a 6,532% premium to reality and instantly lighting up trader chatrooms.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n During the Jan. 28 segment on the Senate Agriculture Committee\u2019s crypto market structure hearing, the show\u2019s ticker correctly showed Bitcoin changing hands at $89,532, down 0.39% on the week, and Ethereum at $2,996, nursing a 0.77% weekly pullback.<\/p>\n <\/a>\u200bBut when the camera cut to XRP, the on\u2011screen graphic suddenly listed \u201c$126.01, -3.8% (7D),\u201d a level that, as the article notes, \u201crepresented a 6,532% increase from XRP\u2019s actual price of $1.90 at the time.\u201d<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n That visual misprint fed straight into a long\u2011running subculture of\u00a0XRP\u00a0holders who insist such \u201cglitches\u201d hint at a hidden fair value once full utility is priced in, even though this episode, as TheCryptoBasic stresses, \u201cwas merely just a display issue on the part of CNBC.\u201d<\/p>\n Producers later confirmed the show had effectively pasted Solana\u2019s then\u2011spot value\u2014around $126\u2014into the XRP slot. \u201cOn Jan. 28, the show mispriced XRP by using Solana\u2019s value in its place,\u201d the report explains.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n This parabolic move comes as digital assets continue to trade as the purest expression of macro risk appetite. Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around $82,792, with a 24\u2011hour range roughly between $81,000 and $88,029, on about $79.3B in dollar volumes. Ethereum (ETH) changes hands close to $2,725, with around $43.0B in 24\u2011hour turnover. XRP (XRP) trades near $1.76, down about 6.3% over the last day, with roughly $5.4B in spot volume.<\/a><\/p>\n The CNBC mispricing drops neatly into a long catalogue of XRP price anomalies. In April 2023, Bitrue\u2019s futures market briefly printed $0.0001 on XRP, liquidating long positions before the order book snapped back.<\/a>\u200b Upside spikes have been even more surreal. TradingView once showed XRP \u201cnear $9,864\u201d in May 2020 while the token actually traded close to $0.21.<\/p>\n <\/a>\u200bSubsequent data feed failures pushed it to $161 million on CoinMarketCap and Coinbase in December 2021, $50 on Gemini in August 2023, $34,603 on CoinMarketCap that October, $22.50 on Coinbase in August 2024, and \u201cmore than $21,000 during a live TV broadcast\u201d in March 2025.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n For derivatives desks, each ghost print is noise\u2014but it rhymes with the speculative fervor now building around\u00a0XRP spot ETFs, after analysts warned ETF demand could\u00a0absorb around 1% of circulating supply, building on December\u2019s milestone, when\u00a0XRP ETF assets first surpassed $1b.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" XRP briefly showed at $126 on CNBC due to a ticker error pasting Solana\u2019s price, reviving XRP \u201cghost print\u201d lore despite being only a display glitch.
