CNBC Confirms $126 XRP Quote Was a Ticker Mix-Up With Solana

The confirmed glitch highlights how recurring ghost prints capture outsized interest during a period of rising XRP ETF inflows.

Overview

  • During a Jan. 28 Crypto World segment on the Senate Agriculture Committee’s crypto hearing, CNBC briefly displayed XRP at $126.01.
  • Producers said the show mistakenly reused Solana’s spot price in the XRP slot, creating a 6,532% premium versus XRP’s actual price near $1.90.
  • Outlets reporting on the incident stress it was a display error rather than a real market move.
  • The episode joins a documented history of XRP ghost prints across exchanges and data feeds dating back years.
  • In the latest ETF flows, spot XRP funds saw about $92 million in Jan. 29 outflows, with total assets reported near $1.2 billion.
