Ripple is now crypto rank 2: https://coinmarketcap.com/

;D

because of the coinbase rumor or why that recent pump?

I think in terms of the market capital value then Ripple is the second to Ethereum that holds overall market value especially when Ripple will be going to increase their coin price then surely it will replace Ethereum on its seat as the leader of Altcoins.

Well that sucks. This goes to show you that when I think about selling, I should be buying. And when I think about buying, I should be selling.

Do i read that right?

Ripple has a supply of 38.74 billion

If so the price will never go too high will it?

It's all tied up on the rumors about the work that Japan and Korea are doing, testing their sisters and if it is successful, it's just the beginning of growth :)

This is crazy  :o

XRP was sitting at much too low a price for a long time. It was always going to shoot up suddenly, and this is it, an almost exact repitition of what happened in May. The question now I suppose is where will it stabilise? We are still nowhere near full potential for XRP - once it becomes (if it becomes) the standard for international banking it can quite easily displace bitcoin as number 1 in cap... and that will likely be another very abrupt and almost vertical rise following a lengthy fallow period.

The recent correction threw it back to 3th place. 8)

Its actually quite amazing to see Ripple at No2 spot in the market. If it carries on at this pace, it will be the future Altcoin. I believe XRP has the most potential of all coins.

There is really no explanation for this weird sudden acceptance of ripple, except the fact that it had a high increase rate compared to any cryptocurrency release, a lot of people have high hopes for it and they think that it might be a good investment in the future, and they don't want to make the same mistake for bitcoin or any other currency, and that is not getting as much coins as they could when its price was low, i really don't know why they prefer it over other coins, from what I read it is no different from them, it does not have any new ideas to bring to the market.

Yes its true, events like XRP increase drastically is no new in crypto trading and this due to number of investors and amount they invest. Maybe what happenned is when someone saw the potential XRP , other follow also .

I also appreciate the potential of XRP. Predictions in the future it will also raise prices further.

yes position 3 but according to the capitalization ripple is overtaking ethereum!  We cannot deny it. ;)

This has already happened with ripple, I do not think that this pгmp will last long.
Its real price is certainly higher than now, but I do not think that the ripple will reach above 20,000 this time

things like that also often happen to me, I can also say I was always in the wrong time to buy and sell. it makes me lose most of what I have.

no, ripple is still in position 3 in cmc. there is still a difference of 4 billion dollars and this is a big enough number to shift the position of ethereum.

I was being a top 4 crypto currency for a longtime but since we find the dump in bitcoin and ethereum price rate. There are many people invested on ripple, monero, waves and other cheap currencies. That is the reason we all find the sudden bump of cheap cpons when the other altcoins are growing in the price chart.
Now ethereum value again started bumping we may find situation back to normal as well see in last week or before.

No surprise if you ask me, Ripple has been rising very steadily over the last week, and i believe it will rise more until end of year.

Whales always think the opposite,ripple is indeed has more advance features than ethereum,maybe in the future the value of ripple will skyrocket!

In my opinion this situation is pretty strange, because ethereum has a real implementation (at least ICOs and cryptokitties ;D). Do you think ripple is so useful at the moment?

Some how I feel as regulations come in effect, coins which are pro-regulation or lets say work with centralized institutions, Banks in case of Ripple, will rise up.

i think it will soon touch $2.

That's all the real form of an investment, as more and more people are convinced of a coin it will bring in a lot of Investors. But personally I still choose Etherum, I see the prospect owned by Etherum is much better than other coin. we can see that the graph of the rise and fall of Etherum is quite stable and I believe that Etherum can survive as a cryptocurrencies for a long time.

Ripple is a database operating company.
XRP price can be anything the company deceits to sell it, basically whatever they think they can get away with.
The few xrp (in relative terms) available to trade on the open market have no influence on price.

XRP is akin to diamonds in the real world, almost totally worthless with a massive mark-up in sell price.
Inflation at some stage will catch up to this shenanigan operation. Over 80% of all Bitcoin is already available to trade freely. Over 80% of XRP still need to find a buyer.

It will hit $3 EOY for sure, but not much more. You are forgetting just how much XRP there is in circulation

I do believe Ripple should be valued somewhere at ~$3 given current usage. Definitely #3 most useful currently existing coin behind BTC and ETH.

This is just a temporary action. Ethereum is a much better platform when compared to ripple. Ripple is like 100% centralized. People who pump it are probably bitcoin rich people. The will dump on you, just keep in mind.

I don't agree with you. Total supply of ripple is huge. There is no chance to hit ethereum price.
My maximum prediction is around 5$ and will not go higher.

Alt coin market is so volatile and now the pump is over, Etheruem is back to being No 2. They have a great project and vision, one that i am sure will make a difference.

I think this too, ripple as too big of a coin cap to ever reach ETH price but everything under 10$ is possible in near future

Looks like xrp is taking the spotlight right now because of the upcoming news with coinbase listing people get hyped.

But as of now, Ethereum is now the Rank 2 and Ripple is Rank 3. Well market increase and decrease may change the game after all.

I certainly think that Ethereum is more popular than Ripple. But I think that Ripple is also a valuable coin.

I almost can't believe what happened to the price again over night. Tomorrow more valuable than Bitcoin? ;D

Yes, Ripple have 38billion and additional 62billion own by a few people. These few people own almost $100billion each worth of Ripples, now we should get our head around and think about it.
These 2 people will soon control world money.

One of the best performing altcoin this year, ripple price surge to more than 50% last friday to overtake the no.2 position by market capitalization. This surge might caused by the news Japanese-based Ripple Asia created a consortium that deals with distributed ledger technology. If ripple continues its price uptrend into early next year, it remains on the no.2 spot unless ethereum move to make another all-time high.  

ripple will be ripple and will never outcome ethereum, ETH is more stable and have decent value in the market while ripple is being rank up on coin market because of the hype that trend now on social medias and traders, but this will not last  for more weeks. ripple will start to fall in just few days!

Yes Ripple has now passed Ethereum in market cap value to occupy the No 2 spot. But look at the figures it is almost half the value of Bitcoin and as the price is only $2.50 each I think it will easy pass Bitcoin in the next couple of months. It is psychologically easier to buy a coin worth a few dollars than one that costs $700 or $14,000.

in my own view Ripple can never be valuable than Ethereum because etheruem has a wide and broad ecosystem which investors needs to invest on to yield a good return which will benefit them in future, but most investors who have invested in Ripple are yet to receive a woof amount of interest on it, so for me Etheruem is better and far better than Ripple can never be Dis-value by it.

so what are you insinuating? are now advising investors to invest their funds on Ripple rather than Eth or Bitcoin? for me it is some how a good idea, but in the other hand it is not, because each coin have their own way of increasing, and the higher the demands the higher the prize, Ripple is leading as the No 2 today does not mean it will overcome Ethereum and Bitcoin.

lots of ripple haters here and loads of people basing their "predictions" on FUD arguments like "centralized" "2 people own all XRP" ... Ripple and XRP clearly has a place in this world, so does Bitcoin, so does ETH and the thousand other cryptos. Stick to what you feel comfortable with and leave the others to those who appreciate it.

I do not think that Ripple will follow ETH, this is how the world of crypto a lot of unexpected things. as we always talk about whether ETH will catch up with BTC, and now ETH is followed by Ripple, as seen at coinmarketcap.com Ripple is now in position 2 and it is possible that Ripple will be positioned 1st after BTC.

I don't think Ripple is more valuable than Ethereum and beside, Ethereum is next to bitcoin.

I was surprised to see this but I still prefer ethereum for my investment options though it is amazing how ripple manages to climb up the market I find it unstable with the sudden growth and for me ethereum is much more stable.

Watch it. It is only going to be for a short term. When the hype die down, ethereum will take it's place again. Ethereum is way useful and developed better in decentralized sense more than ripple. Ripple is controlled centrally.

True that, it's only about the hype stuff, Ripple isn't getting so high because of the idea. Only because of screaming fools.

Finally, Ripple began to grow steadily. I've been waiting for this since this year July. I don't think that the current growth of Ripple is the result of a deliberate pump. The team actively promoted its technology in Southeast Asia, Australia and India. Now when it is fixed in this market, it is natural that the coin began to grow.

This is insane... people are crazy to give their money for this centralized coin.

1000% in 10 days and then the same people are calling bitcoin a bubble. I don't think that the real price of Ripple is over 50c but those who buying is are proving me wrong.

Situation looks like idiotic, ripple done top 2 just for a few days. I think it just a pump, and the price will fall down in a few days or weeks, so dont worry about that.

whenever there is a pump built off of speculation and rumow expect there a cras for the same reasons. This isn't a healthy pump.

This XRP increase is not unprecedented, it has happened before. There was a x10 increase in a week at the start of May, and taking it a bit further a more than x50 increase from March to May.
It is the way it seems to go with XRP. More and more good news for months, but the price doesn't move at all... and then suddenly it kicks into action and shoots upwards.
There will be a pullback at some point, but long-term XRP could well pass bitcoin in cap (as could Eth).

If you think about coins that could really change the world, XRP is right up there at the top of the list. It could transform international banking.

i believe if ripple will increase and pump more, waiting for the right moment to sell ripple and i believe will progress from ripple

Embarrassing, ETH.

It is really amazing that the total value of xrp exceeds that of eth, ripple is the hottest words in field of visual currencies, and has made the dip of btc and most of other currencies.

I am not surprised. Ripple has created the real enterprises that work in close partnership with group of banks. First of all I am talking about Japan but maybe somewhere else it deployed its activity.

Ripple is the best bois

And here is a game to play :) for all the "butbutbut" boys :D

Rank two in price not value.
There is a big difference with that and I hope you understand that immediately before you regret it.
Bitcoin Cash also have a large price but is it really that valuable to keep it or it will just ruin your invsstment?
You might want to check to where you will invest your money. I am not against it but just for safety.

If you are looking at the CMC yes Ethereum was overthroned by a centralized coin but if you are looking at the use of these two,you will choose ethereum over ripple.
Dont be fooled by the usd value look at the satoshi value instead,usd value dont fluctuates so if you are look in sats value ethereum is better.

A standout amongst other performing altcoin this year, Ripple value surge to over half last friday to surpass the no.2 position by advertise capitalisation. This surge may caused by the news Japanese-based Ripple Asia made a consortium that arrangements with circulated record innovation. On the off chance that Ripple proceeds with its cost uptrend into right on time one year from now, it stays on the no.2 spot unless ethereum move to make another unequalled high.

real value of the coin cant be calculated in CMC ranks,a coin is valuable if the coin will give you x10000 profits in just a year,i dont believe ETH is less valuable than XRP.

I suppose that ETH is much more valuable and useful than ripple. It could mean the only one thing - ETH should be pumped very soon and return to the top2 place.

Ripple signed an agreement with Korean banks. Ripple goes to the coinbase. But that is not all. Asian investors are very gambling. They like to invest in one coin all together. I think that this is not for a long time and the ethereum will quickly return its positions.

I think that the high growth of the ripple's capitalization and the fact that it took 2nd position will have a positive impact on the Ethereum development team. They probably move, because Vitalik promised to change a lot. However, beyond the words it did not work. I think he will want to return positions in the near future.

On the coinmarketcap yes ripple is more valued coin than ethereum,but i dont think XRP has better technology than ETH.

What is etheriums purpose and whats ripples?

I can believe that (XRP cap) > (ETH cap) only if ripple will be at the second place for a few months. Frankly I don't think it will happen and it will be dumped soon.

some website are supporting some coins and they are promoting their Supportive coins, XRP is also in that list, Amazon is doing some big for this coin i think.

Yeah and it deserves to be there, did you see the rapid price increase in the past few months?. Everyone was criticizing Ripple to be a centralized ponzi scheme but the truth is that Ripple is a valuable asset of crypto world. No doubt it is backed by a strong community and that is the reason why its price is climbing rapidly to the sky, and it will continue to rise high to set new benchmarks.
