$XRP Hits
$3.65 ATH as Trading Volume Surges — But Scammers Strike With Deepfake Trap
$XRP soared to a new all-time high of
$3.65, with $22B in daily trading volume, fueled by retail FOMO across South Korea (Upbit) and the US (Coinbase, Kraken).
🟢 Unit bias is in full effect: low token price attracts retail buyers.
But as price spiked, scammers pounced.
A deepfake video of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse promoting a fake 100M
$XRP giveaway circulated on X. Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz called it out as AI-generated fraud and warned users to stay alert.
⚠ These scams typically appear at market highs, using fake airdrops to steal wallet info. Always verify official sources.
