On July 29, a notable event occurred in the cryptocurrency market as the price of XRP surged to an unexpected $2 on both the MEXC platform and Tradingview. This sudden and dramatic increase was swiftly followed by a sharp decline, leaving many investors perplexed and speculating about the underlying causes of this price anomaly.
X quickly became a hub for discussion surrounding this event. An XRP enthusiast named Amelie (@_Crypto_Barbie) shared screenshots of the XRP price spike, sparking a flurry of comments and theories.
Many supporters of XRP claimed that the cryptocurrency was being artificially suppressed, with one user going as far as to suggest that a select group of individuals were manipulating the market with a simple click.
While it is understandable that investors would be intrigued and perhaps even frustrated by such a significant price fluctuation, it is essential to approach the situation critically and consider the potential explanations for the anomaly.
XRP at $2?
Firstly, it is crucial to recognize that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and susceptible to rapid price swings. Factors such as market sentiment, trading volume, and news events can all contribute to significant price fluctuations within a short period.
The XRP price spike was certainly a temporary technical glitch on the trading platforms. It should also be noted that the digital asset has recorded a number of glitches in recent months. This is just the least of the numbers. There have been ridiculously high prices initiated by tehnical glitches on various exchanges.
It is important to distinguish between the price displayed on a trading platform and the actual market price. Trading platforms rely on data feeds from various sources, and there is always a possibility of discrepancies or errors in the data.
In this case, it is plausible that the $2 price displayed on MEXC and Tradingview was inaccurate and did not reflect the true market price of XRP.

Although the claims of market manipulation and elite control appeal to some, they lack concrete evidence. The cryptocurrency market is a complex ecosystem with numerous participants, including individual investors, institutional traders, and exchanges. While it is true that market manipulation can occur, it is typically difficult to prove and often requires extensive investigation by regulatory authorities.
At the time of press, XRP is trading at $0.63, up 4% over the past day. However, a prominent analyst recently predicted that XRP will surge to $1.88 soon, suggesting that the $2 price is attainable soon.
