Here’s The 411 Behind The Famous $50 XRP Candle On Gemini In 2023

Amid ongoing discussions about XRP's price, crypto analyst CharuSan revisited the infamous "$50 XRP candle" that occurred on the Gemini exchange in 2023. This event, where XRP's price briefly spiked to $50, was widely speculated to be a glitch. However, CharuSan explained it was a real market event caused by catastrophic slippage. The relisting of XRP on Gemini left order books with very low liquidity. A market buy order worth approximately $37,000 consumed all available sell orders until it hit a single sell order placed at the $50 level, causing the dramatic price surge. CharuSan argues this incident mathematically demonstrates why large financial institutions cannot rely solely on on-demand liquidity, especially during high volume. To handle billion-dollar cross-border transfers without causing massive slippage and freezing the system, tier-1 banks must maintain their own deep, pre-funded, and dedicated XRP liquidity pools. The event underscores that managing large institutional volumes requires controlled, bank-held liquidity to prevent traders from losing control over market prices and transactions. At the time of the analysis, XRP was trading around $1.38.
