XRP Glitches Trigger Panic as Price Errors Shake Crypto Markets

XRP Hit by Repeated Price Glitches: Latest Error Lists Token at $691,667, Raising Concerns Over Crypto Data Reliability

  • Frequent price glitches are affecting XRP across multiple crypto platforms.
  • The most recent error showed XRP at $691,667 per token on July 2, 2025.
  • These pricing errors often outpace problems found in other cryptocurrencies.
  • Documented glitches date back to at least 2019 and include major exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and Gemini.
  • Experts point to infrastructure weaknesses and data system vulnerabilities as the cause.

On July 2, 2025, a major glitch listed XRP at over $691,000 per token across several crypto market trackers, alarming traders and raising concerns about the reliability of price data. This error appeared without warning alongside other normal U.S. dollar feeds, causing confusion in the digital asset market.

Crypto analyst John Squire recorded the incident, noting it as one of the most dramatic XRP errors to date. TM Research observed that XRP seems to experience such glitches more regularly than other cryptocurrencies. According to analyst C.E. Parker, “It was completely unrealistic for XRP to be worth over half a million [dollars] per token” and that such numbers would make it the most valuable asset globally if accurate.

This pattern of errors is not new. Past incidents include a 2019 event when Coinbase showed XRP priced at $7,308 due to a data mix-up with Bitcoin. TradingView and CoinMarketCap have shown similar mistakes, with pricing for XRP jumping to $9,864 and even as high as $161 million during glitch events, while the actual market value remained less than $1.

Exchange-specific issues have occurred repeatedly. In August 2023, Gemini listed XRP at $50 because of unusually low order book activity and high demand. In July 2024, sudden movements on MEXC caused XRP to spike 228% to $2 in one minute, while elsewhere it traded at $0.60. April 2023 saw Bitrue briefly tank the price to $0.0001, which triggered mass liquidations for traders.

Other notable episodes include Binance reporting a $5,791 price for XRP in October 2024 and U.S. news program Real America Voice accidentally showing the token worth $21,000 on live television.

Recurring glitches in XRP pricing suggest that these are not random events, but point to ongoing technical vulnerabilities in the systems that track and relay crypto prices. Such incidents have affected both trading strategies and confidence among digital asset investors, as inaccurate values make it hard to trust live price feeds. Compared to other cryptocurrencies, XRP price errors have appeared more frequently, indicating potential systematic issues in data infrastructure across platforms.
