A recent broadcast on CNBC's "Crypto World" show mistakenly displayed XRP's price at an astonishing $126.01, a dramatic surge from its actual trading value of around $1.90. This significant on-air error, which represented a 6,532% premium, was later confirmed by producers to be a result of mistakenly pasting Solana's price data into the XRP ticker. The incident has reignited discussions among XRP enthusiasts about historical "ghost prints" – anomalous price readings that have occurred with XRP on various platforms over the years.
