According to the CoinMarketCap ranking, LTC is now the 4th highest marketcap coin as XRP lost its value significantly, 39% within last 24 hour and 63% in the last week which is the result of recent SEC regulation. This sounds good, good cryptocurrency are being recognised. And it's very potential for LTC as, if Tether goes wrong, LTC will be the 3rd highest marketcap coin in the cryptocurrency world.
Something big is waiting, maybe coming soon.

The free fall of XRP and all drama around the XRP are very crazy. Pumps from bottom to moon and dump to the hell in a few weeks. I am not a fan of both XRP and LTC so I don't fee stimulating with the flip of Litecoin on Ripple.

However, the post has a point for Tether USD. I don't want to see any drama on Tether USD as it will cause a massive dump on bitcoin and crypto market. Tether is used to trade with bitcoin and many altcoins and after the lawsuit on XRP, I don't believe that Tether USD will be immuned from serious lawsuits. They are all centralized altcoins and have bad histories with shady activities from their teams.

I surprised to see the free fall of XRP. Delisting from USA exchanges are bad but it is not the end for XRP.  ;D

I see Tether getting rip is good for the bitcoin. Imagine all the money of Tether gettinhg flowed in Bitcoin. How much Bitcoin will pump? Huge of course. Because everyone will not prefer to get back into fiat, they will consider the best crypto as pledge which is bitcoin of course.
Anyway, I too use Tether as stablecoin and prefer to trade with it than any other stgablecoin.

XRP price dump also dumps the whole ALTs market. What do you think XRP will be dead by these. As we have seen that Coinbase, Coinbase Pro, and some other reputable crypto exchange delisting XRP. Now if binance delists it too then maybe this will be the end of xrp. I saw they are launching several contests based on xrp in various exchanges to stable the market.

Its the first time we see xrp dragged down to 4th place for many years. I wonder hwo it will end for XRP when everyone finally dumped. There is something that made holders cling to it because the trading was only halted on US exchanges. 

Binance delisting XRP will drop another 50% of 0.18$

Personally I am a fan of litecoin
 People can be tribal about their crypto of choice. LTC is a great coin, and there are also many other great coins out there. If I listened to other people's opinions, I never would have invested in the first place.

yes, I hear there is a lot of negative news about XRP, and I think the Dispute between the SEC and the XRP Company is one of the main reasons why XRP is losing value every day. As for everything else, there are a lot of doubts about XRP holders and especially the XRP company. is it possible that this is the end of XRP?

Seeing how it pushed $130  days ago it’s not a shit coin and has seen a larger % growth compared to ETH in the short term.
 Just wait for it we’ll be staring down at litecoin from the moon.

XRP has been getting crashed drastically from the day of its securities offering. The initial decline of the market happened from around $0.58 to $0.28 in few days time. This is unexpected, and XRP isn't the same as bitcoin and ethereum which can be mined. XRP's majority holdings were owned by the ripple labs, and they have complete control. Litecoin will get boosted out of the prevailing market situation.

It is sad to see XRP falling recently. It has been a part of the crypto world for the long time. This sure affect a few other coins. I guess we have to say goodbye to XRP.

Luckily, we still have bitcoin running crazy. Nothing can stop it from now. The future of bitcoin is brighter than ever. This will lead to a revolution of cryptocurrency in our world

XRP prices continue to decline due to a lawsuit by the Exchange and Securities Commission (SEC), and we can see the impact on the continued decline in XRP prices in the market coupled with the presence of several markets such as coinbase which have started planning to stop trading against XRP, of course this is This is quite detrimental for current XRP holders especially some time ago the price of XRP started to skyrocket in the market and even reached almost 1$

The only thing that can save XRP is if the team decided to settle just the way EOS team did, but I don't thing they want to go that way. If this saga continue I can see XRP disappear from the top 100 and just look at Salt, Kin and other projects in the space that was charged by SEC people have dumped them and moved on to better projects

Is it really that unexpected? I think most XRP investors are not at all clear how many XRP the founders and Ripple Lab still hold and that sooner or later they will be thrown onto the market what will cause market corrections. Add to that the irregularly large sales in the past by these people and it was clear that sooner or later this practice would be scrutinized for a regulated company like Ripple.

In 1 month everything happened suddenly. Investors were expecting for $1. They were sending rockets. Then we saw 10 cent levels. And today we have seen a pump after Ripple announcement on Twitter. What I don't understand is why they waited that long to send such an announcement. They made small investors disappointed and many ecchanges stopped XRP trading. I don't understand what is going on and I hope the other coins are not in the queue for the same situation.

Agree with you bro, the drama that happened to XRP didn't really affect to other altcoins, but if it happened to Tether USDT it would have a big impact on the crypto market, many people predicting this could happen in the future, personally i don't want that will happened.

Obviously, XRP is really losing a lot of money hence it's valuation is going down hard. While LTC on the other hand is also enjoying a great year after it's halving. Crypto though has been recognised already, specially how companies are looking at bitcoin as a hedge.

For tether? I doubt that they can be dislodge in the 3rd spot, just look at the volumes, greater than bitcoin so it will remain there no doubt.

always thought eventually LTC would become a 1/4 price of BTC
due to supply being a quarter of BTCs

It has recovered some of it's value and is now back at 4th place. I think it's just a matter of time before it gets flipped again. XRP was just a pump and dump coin. It was very rare to come across an XRP supporter outside of Twitter and many people suspected that most of those were bots and paid shills. The Litecoin user base seems much larger. They are doing interesting things with MimbleWimble. I was surprised to see that LTC has even flipped Bcash again.

and now that XRP has taken it, it is still too quick to say that XRP will go down and won't come back even if the sec and coinbase banned XRP, but if this bad news continues, the probability of xrp going down is even lower.

There's only 300 million dollars gap between XRP mcap and ltc mcap. People have been starting to dump their XRP for Litecoin or another legit crypto. It may take a days or more for litecoin to take the XRP's place.
Litecoin will be moving to the top 4 CMC. I'm sure that will be happening as soon as possible. Ripple is getting down again right now. This could be the end for ripple.

it was only a matter of time until the ripple was knocked out of the top 10. sooner or later they will become worthless altcoins. I think 2021 will be the toughest year for Ripple and its investors. if other major exchanges follow Coinbase's footsteps, XRP will be over.

This should happen to other centralized coins too - investors have to wake up and realize that centralized coins cant be shut down by governments and the people behind them could just scam everyone at any point. People dream about altcoin season, but what we need is altcoin apocalypse - there's too many useless and scammy coins on the market, and they only hurt the reputation of crypto. Investors are going to realize that lots of coins have failed to get any users since their inception and they have no future.

Its better LTC to take the 3rd spot, BTC ETH LTC is top coin, tether can be lost the volume if theres alternative stablecoin that will listed on many exchange.

Centralized cryptocurrencies such as XRP should not be having any place in the cryptocurrency sector. On top of that, XRP promoters have always indulged in market manipulation, by creating artificial scarcity for the tokens. Litecoin deserves a place in the top-5, since it has been around for such a long time. Also, the LTC developers have done a commendable job, in updating the code and weeding out bugs.

It is a good time for LTC, but if we see the history of previous time, XRP is holding his position long time. By the way, XRP will again take his position. One more important think that tether is always holding his position and also a stable coin, so tether is always holding his position as like bitcoin and ethereum.

Ripple's marketcap has already lost 10 million dollars this month, of course this is part of a terrible history,
because this is the first time that top altcoins have lost that much marketcap,
and maybe it will drop again until XRP's marketcap is just $ 1 million, we'll see, this makes Litecoin even hotter,
4th place will be occupied by LTC I'm sure.

Such case scenario is bound to happen following the issues surrounding XRP as it stands, the truth is, no coin can be plaqued with such challenges like that of XRP and still remain the same or still maintain its position on coinmarketcap. Looking further at XRP i kept wondering what the top holders will be thinking and what will actually happen to XRP if they should sell in their numbers, and however the best solution as a holder or investor is to sell now before more and more exchanges will delist it hence causing more panic and more price dump.
In addition, although I am not happy with what's happening to XRP because the value it keeps losing is the investment of someone, but however it is good that a coin like LTC is up the radar and if the team means more business they will maintain that position for a long time as their closet rival in marketcap is out of the way.

Many people underestimate the potential of XRP, I believe XRP is able to return to taking the 4th position again in CMC. It is true about
bad news happening now, make prices XRP fell quite deeply, but I believe XRP will be able to rise again after proving innocent in all of
the SEC charges. I have known XRP since 2016, and XRP has always been in the top 10 cryptocurrencies until now. So the XRP team
will do something, show us all that XRP is not a scam.

It is still difficult to replace xrp position because the gap is still big, but if the price of XRP will going down for more, yes, the XRP position will be replaced by the litecoin. The litecoin can increase the position because the fan still supports the project, although the project does not update like the other projects. We will see later what will happen to Litecoin and XRP.

I didn't saw LTC being replaced by XRP in the 4th place but I saw XRP went down to around $0.18 and maybe that is the time where XRP has fell to the 4th place.

As of this moment price of XRP is at $0.21 and regained the 3rd spot with around $700 million marketcap gap compare to LTC. If the fundamentals will not shift to something positive which is I think will happen then XRP will just make a freefall like a waterfall. Investors will regret holding XRP.

there's no surprise about that as we all know that the SEC is suing the XRP and a lot of investors already cashed out their investment and a lot of exchange website already stop or exclude the XRP from trading in no time the XRP will dramatically crash its price.

Half of top 6 coins from coinmarketcap don't deserve to be there, still they (still) are.
XRP is back to #4. If the current drama continues it has a good chance to fall again under LTC and maybe remain under...

On the other hand the market is full of speculators who don't care if the coin is any good as long as it brings profit.
Also people are forgetting and forgiving. If enough money is poured into advertising and a bit of pumping, XRP can very well recover after the drama settles a little.

All in all, it's far too early to party, unless LTC did or does something wonderfully great I was not aware of....

Total supply isn't all ;D, the value of a coin is considered based on many factors. The collapse of the XRP clear, LTC will replace its position soon. This has a great effect, investors' interest in it will be much greater.

Actually I still have a hard time accepting the fact that XRP will soon disappear and completely disappear. Now his position has been replaced by LTC. The thing that really hit me quite a bit was because I myself liked XRP. And this is a lesson that coins that have been able to survive for a long time can eventually fall too. So you must always be careful in crypto.

It was enough that the price of XRP increased by 15% and everything returned to its usual places) We will see similar changes in the rating many more times until the Ripple issue is resolved. And if we talk about USDT, then I would consider it inappropriate to include stablecoins in the rating of cryptocurrencies. Because their capitalization increases due to the release of new coins, and not an increase in value.

Correct. Since Ripple was sued by the SEC, XRP's price has shown a pullback, which has resulted in a drop in XRP's rating to 4th place replaced by LTC. Moreover, LTC has been growing steadily amidst the global recovery in the cryptocurrency market.

Until now, Ripple has not been replaced by Litecoin according to coinmarketcap,
Ripple is still in 4th position and Litecoin is in 5th position, indeed the Ripple and Litecoin marketcaps are not much different,
only a difference of 1 million dollars, most likely if Litecoin experiences pump then LTC will replace XRP in 4th position, very interesting

Despite having trades suspended in 3+ exchange platforms, xrp hanging on is a testament to the believe that their investors have on the project, the sec news had brought several panic but the question is can ripple pull out of the trouble with sec unscathed.? I can only smell more trade suspension and price dump from Ripple

The difference is 1 "billion" dollars not million, crypto market is too big to let a million dollar be the difference because even the smallest of changes makes it over a million easily, from second to second. However the difference is closer than ever before. XRP nearly got to ethereum levels with 90+ cents per xrp while now it is closer to Litecoin instead.

Plus, if we consider usdt as a coin you could put them at third but in reality it is not a coin, it is just a stable currency using blockcchain, which is why I think we should not even list that, we should put it somewhere else with all other stable currencies and not with crypto currencies. So I would assume Litecoin will definitely go above Ripple very soon, it will take time, but Ripple will drop to 4th place and Litecoin will be third, and ethereum will be second with bitcoin leading them all, totally omitting usdt.

LTC and Polkadot may soon overtake XRP in terms of capitalization as early as January-February.  But if the SEC claims are settled, XRP will maintain its strong position in the CMC.

That should no be a surprise based on the current lawsuit that XRP is facing. Hope they will survive, if not it might go deeper beyond that level.

It is very interesting to see the competition between XRP and LTC, because the difference in the market cap of the two is only a slight difference.
This happened because XRP experienced a decrease in market cap as a result of the SEC accusations, and news from several exchanges that have
decided to delist XRP. While on the other hand, LTC has increased in demand, so indirectly the market cap of LTC continues to rise. I am optimistic
that LTC in the near future can rise to position 4 on the CMC site to replace XRP. So starting to buy LTC from now is the right time, because based
on my prediction LTC entering 2021 will experience a bullrun. And the price can go back to the ATH price of $ 375.

This is expected to happen especially what the Ripples is experiencing right now. the price of XRP has drastically gone down just before the end of 2020 and LTC will take its place in the market rank as well. I think this is not the last time we see it sink down to fourth place. if it gonna continue until next year then the reign of XRP will completely go until it becomes unranked in the market. I pity the owner of Ripples, after he made lots of partnerships with some of the biggest companies out there, now his effort is slowly melting.

Wow, well done Litecoin! I am a long term holder and user (especially in gambling circles where LTC is one of my all time favorite coins) and I could not be happier to see LTC doing so well after all the ups and downs we have had over the years. I know we are still far away from $300+ to see ATH but this is a good sign of things to come:)

I still see Ripple in the 4th place but they will soon out of top 5 it's only a matter of days before this happen, if you look at the chart now, all the top 10 coins in the market are all showing green, with the exception of Ripple, only Ripple is in bear trend, if you are not selling Ripple, only two things, either you are a die hard Ripple fan or you are not aware of what's happening.

So far, I see that XRP is still in fourth place and I see huge volumes of trading with the XRP pair and I not even feel that XRP will fall below 0.2$, most likely big players are buying XRP at low prices and they do not lower the XRP price below 0.2$, so it's hard to say about what will happen to XRP.

it is bound to happen anytime soon, see how xrp is been dumped and the mc is reducing, definitely it can not be in that position anymore, it will even go lower in coming days if the problem still persist and more exchange continues to delist it from their exchange, i feel the worst is yet to come for xrp except the team are able to address the issue before more damage is inflicted, right now the situation is not looking good.

I was actually surprised how long Ripple has held onto the top 5 position. The name itself was an embarrassment for crypto world. But it's funny to see a centralized agency became the catalyst of it's fall. They always wanted to replace swift for inter bank and international money transfer but not they are now being haunted by the authorities. They should have at least bribed SEC with all those money they've collected.

It's risky to buy it now but if they win in SEC then this is a good entry for whales who collected many coins from weak hands traders.xrp whales will not just agree to just give their position to LTC so they will not let it fall below 0.17 cents. If we see it then we can see more dump in the price of XRP they are in that position for long years so it's hard to give that position to other coins.

if the issues won't be resolved, I believe the situation for XRP will be getting harder in the coming days. XRP holders losses their trust and expectation of it, and they are probably selling it now since the announcement has been released.

I'm not sure if this will create drama in the market but what I saw is that the competition lives on. I know that some of us here are loyal to XRP but wondering if they are still loyal to it this time.

There loyal has been vanishing, when their asset got lose ~XD, a people who still try defend XRP until now because:
- He tries to entertain himself because crying losing his asset on XRP.
- Don't want to cut lose.

I believe still has some dump section on XRP, potential the price reached under 1/5 cent. So everyone who wants to enter XRP looking for some a nice bounce, becarefull XRP right now just like a falling knife.

this is good news , for ltc supporters but not for xrp supporters . im a fan of both sides
but i think that ltc is more better than xrp by the time i knew them both but rankings isnt about how we think the coin is good but other criterias are also involved like market cap , volume , etc and xrp are having a higher gap with those than ltc
 but now that exchanges and people avoiding xrp , that also result for xrp's rank to go down but ranks arent important to some of us
 but its how we love using them or contented we are .

They need to win the court.

Otherwise, they will pay such huge money to SEC and or they will lose interest for XRP. Paying such a huge money for XRP, I believe no problem at all because the coin was a centralized coin and the only one who can create or mine the coin only XRP Foundataion it self.

XRP already dump a lot coin into the market~LOL

The replacement was for short term and I have noticed it too. But I believe xrp marketcap will decrease significantly at next month. And litecoin will achieve the fourth position in crypto market. I don't think that usdt will go wrong way, as a stable coin it has much demand among crypto traders. Other alts may enter in the competition to obtain higher rank at crypto market. Polkadot coin price increasing quickly now. Currently it's at six position. However, I have much confidence in litecoin.

I think that this order will change in the near future. Polkadot shows good growth, now this coin is in sixth place not so long ago the coin was in ninth place. There are more options than Litecoin ;)

Tether has to go more than 2 times of its current market cap. But before it was XRP and ETH that had a matched but now, ETH is now farther than XRP.
And because of the problem of XRP is dealing with he's now close to be replaced by LTC. It has been replaced by Tether already because before was 3rd in market cap.

Litecoin was always promising before it was moved by Ethereum. It was the second after Bitcoin, and even now it does not fall below the top 10-15 coins. Many people like this coin for the low commission rate when withdrawing. It is fast enough in the blockchain.

There has some calculation in the CMC. Both of the coins are counted differently as far a slight distance. The Ripple is going on a critical moment. So it has regularly value less issue in every second and the other hand the Litecoin don't face any trouble in their trading the present situation (https://prnt.sc/wcezlo). So, I can predict easily the LTC is going to take a place which counted as 4th place in the CMC .
