A technical error during the morning program “American Sunrise Early Edition” in the USA caught the attention of those following cryptocurrency. During the broadcast, XRP’s price was displayed at an astonishing $21,355 instead of its actual value of $2.10. This dramatic price fluctuation quickly became a hot topic on social media, raising concerns not only about XRP but also about other cryptocurrencies experiencing similar anomalies.
Shock Over XRP’s $21,355 Display
The displayed XRP price soared to $21,355, a stark contrast to real market data. The price fluctuated between $2.22 and $21,355 within seconds, leading many viewers to suspect a systemic failure. This erroneous display of XRP heightened anxiety among certain investors, especially since similar issues have occurred in the past.
XRP has faced similar glitches on major platforms like TradingView, Binance, and CoinMarketCap in the past. Such recurring errors have been interpreted by some users as potential issues with the token’s technological infrastructure. However, experts suggest that these incidents are likely due to systemic data transmission problems, not directly related to any fault in XRP’s technology.
Other Cryptocurrencies Affected
In addition to XRP, the broadcast also displayed incorrect prices for many prominent cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin $85,016 was shown at $43,636, Ethereum
$1,878 at $6,000, and Solana
$126 at $2,896. Viewers also noted significant jumps in Dogecoin
$0.172627 and Cardano
$0.681533 prices during the segment.
None of these displayed prices reflected the true market values at that time. Users who recognized the discrepancies shared their observations and frustrations on social media, directing attention to the broadcasting team following the graphic discrepancies.
Host’s Brief Explanation
Program host Jake Novak acknowledged the glitch, stating, “An unexpected issue occurred in our graphics system.” However, he did not provide detailed explanations regarding the XRP price. No technical report or corrective information was shared about the reasons behind the erroneous displays.
Some market analysts believe such graphic errors can stem from synchronization problems in the data provider systems used during live broadcasts. Delays or algorithmic errors in platforms that rely on rapid data streams can lead to these types of display errors. Investors argue that systems should be reviewed to prevent such occurrences in the future.
