XRP Abruptly Spikes to $22.54 On Coinbase, Community Reacts

A recent glitch on Coinbase has caught the attention of the crypto community, specifically XRP holders. On August 18, RippleLord (@Ripplelordz), a well-known figure in the XRP community, posted on X about an unexpected price surge of XRP on the Coinbase platform.

According to the image shared, the price of XRP temporarily spiked to $22.54, a substantial increase from its actual market price below $0.6.

This price anomaly led to reactions from the XRP community, with many expressing surprise, excitement, and skepticism, and some outright dismissing the event as a mere technical glitch. This isn’t the first time a glitch like this has occurred, but the timing of this incident comes amid significant developments for Ripple and XRP.

Community Reactions

The community’s response was varied, reflecting the diverse viewpoints within the XRP space. Some users questioned whether other cryptocurrencies were experiencing similar glitches. One user asked, “Are any other tokens glitching or is it just XRP?”

Others were quick to dismiss the event as inconsequential. One user stated, “Glitches are just glitches. Nothing to do with the secret agenda.” They went on to clarify that this anomaly had no bearing on any broader conspiracies regarding Ripple’s future or XRP’s potential as a global asset.

While some saw the glitch as insignificant, others interpreted it as a sign of something larger brewing in the market. “Think we are close,” remarked another user, alluding to the belief held by some in the community that XRP is on the verge of a major price breakout. Another user expressed excitement at witnessing the glitch in real time, revealing that he saw it on Coinbase, and it was the first glitch he had ever caught.

However, not everyone was convinced. One user said, “All of this is speculation, conspiracy, and manipulation,” suggesting that the surge was not to be taken seriously and that it only meant to fuel baseless speculation about XRP’s future.

Others echoed this sentiment, with one user exclaiming, “Omg this is total rubbish! Who actually sees this??” Another added, “That’s the only time when XRP holders will see this price.”

Broader Context for XRP

This glitch occurs during a significant period for Ripple and XRP. Ripple recently secured a major legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), leading to increased optimism around the future of XRP.

Many believe this victory could pave the way for further adoption of XRP by financial institutions. This development most likely fueled the optimism of some community members following the price glitch. However, XRP is still trading at $0.5676.
