CNBC Crypto Ticker Glitch Sends XRP Price Soaring On-Screen

During a recent segment, CNBC's 'Crypto World' erroneously displayed the XRP price as $126.01, a figure reflecting a 6,532% increase over the actual price of approximately $1.90. The error, later admitted to be a misplacement of Solana's price in the XRP ticker slot, briefly excited XRP communities. This visual fluke added another chapter to XRP's history of peculiar 'ghost prints', inflating talks of its true value among enthusiasts. Despite the excitement, it was confirmed to be merely a display glitch. Meanwhile, in the broader market, the focus continues on the impact of spot XRP ETFs, which have accumulated over $1 billion in assets, suggesting a growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency. This incident underscores the volatility and speculation within the digital assets sphere, as traders and investors look to capitalize on the changing dynamics of crypto markets.
