Ethereum just got flipped by Ripple.

How is this happening going to impact the further development and popularity of Ethereum and Ripple respectively?

Ripple has more than once supplanted ethereum from second place in terms of capitalization, and each time ethereum again returned its second place to itself after a short time. It will be this time. Soon, various improvements and this coin will be introduced into ethereum. It will grow in popularity, in price, and in the level of capitalization. So you don’t have to worry about it.

it's only temporary if the market is recovering I'm sure ethereum will return to its original place. all of this is only the impact of a falling market.

I think miners are not interested in ETH like they used to be , Ethereum price has felt downso harsh and it makes it hard for every one to mine it when most of the time it doesn't even cover the electricity bill!

[Afiqa03]

It's just Ethereum, Maybe because of the influence of the many ICOs that are not successful and some kind of fraud at this time, to have an impact on Ethereum. but I believe Ethereum will slowly rise again.

[pakhitheboss]

Not again  Why there are people left on this market that are investing in Ripple and why does the centralised coin takes the second place on the CRYPTO currencies market. ETH is much better and hope it will take his place back soon.

Undoubtedly ETH is far much better than XRP. This is because of all the positive News on XRP. All Alts are in Red, except XRP.

Might be manipulation, I do not know, bur something is not right in the Market.

[arditiyan]

it looks like this time will run long enough, because I see ethereum has lost a large enough volume of their circulating supply, ethereum must think about this and immediately make positive changes

both are very popular, but I think XRP have very little chance to surpass ETH cause of applications of ETH is truly wide and more convinient than XRP millions times
just this hard time, XRP daily vol can surpass ETH. but not for long though.

As far as I know ethereum is already preparing a large-scale update of its virtual machine.I do not think that Ripple long hold on to the second position.And in principle,there whether is any difference. All the same, ethereum is used everywhere and much more often.I have both ethereum and ripple in my wallet.So I'm not too offended if one of them will be in second or third place.

[kobita333]

Both of those are having green and I think ETH will surpass XRP again and will be on 2nd place. ETH is of course far better than XRP and soon it will have a good bubble and take the place. XRP is currently having a good increased though. If you consider the real usage of those coin, ETH has more usages than XRP.

No. I don't believe that. Though ethereum is facing challenges in terms of its price, there's no way ripple can overtake or surpass ethereum. Both coins are promising coins but ethereum will still remain the widely supported coin after bitcoin.

Ethereum falls in price more quickly than Ripple, and his overall capitalization has declined, which allowed Ripple to take second place. Personally, I don't care where the Ethereum is, the price for one coin is more important to me.

[2tang]

I am sure that this will only temporarily all return to normal when the market is stable, I know that this is an unsatisfactory answer but the fact is that everything like this is because the market is falling, I think that's the cause and everything will return to normal when the cause can be overcome

[Fritz93]

For the last two months, the Ripple passes the Ethereum a second time and takes the second place among the cryptocurrencies by capitalization. I think it is deserved. Despite the fact that Ripple is accused of centralization, this coin attracts investors due to the work done.

[Sweedy]

It happens from time to time, but ethereum will surely get back and take its position back from ripple. Ripple is in now way as important as ethereum so there is no point being worried whatsoever.

[karsy]

Yes, and it doesn't mean anything. Sometimes Ripple has bigger cap then Ethereum. I think that in the future eth will be in the top of all altcoins. Maybe Ripple will be the second one.

[Ponti]

It happens all the time. Though i like both ethereum and XRP. I still beleive XRP has much much more potential for growth and development. I am sure their world banking project is not the only one and very soon we will hear something new incoming from Ripple.

[Kiefner]

As you know altcoins fall in price if Bitcoin falls in price. This reaction of Ethereum is logical, and the fact that Ripple did not fall in price only means that its price is maintained artificially.

[budismile]

Don't worry, it won't be long, just temporary. If Bitcoin rises, Eth will definitely rise as well and return to being the second coin after Bitcoin. Ripple is good but Eth is better. therefore Ripple will not be able to replace Eth's position as Eth cannot replace the position of Btcoin.

[Open4lies]

This is not the first time in this year . As I can remember maybe this is the third or maybe fourth in this year only. Everytime XRP takes the 2nd place of ETH, something big will happen, sometime it's a big pump but this time it's not the same . Last year after XRP took 2nd place of ETH, everything went to the moon right after that but I don't know if this time after XRP comes back to its rank there will be a big pump or not .

Nah ripple is just having something of a temporary run right now, there is no way that the coin will be able to maintain that position with so many coins fighting the coin for that second spot. It might stay there for a little bit but I am sure that ethereum is just going to end up taking back that position without too much effort, ripple is not that good of a coin
