No, Ripple isn't even really beating Ethereum, it's all fluff that is controlled by a company, they have before just changed the supply amount. They just need to do this and immediately the market cap changes and the true supply doesn't because they don't distribute it.
There were couple topics about this matter here on forum. How teams can manipulate with marketcap.
I have nothing against Ripple, I have some, but I can`t believe that Ripple is more used than Ethereum.
https://coinmarketcap.com/ Now show`s that Ripple is on second place. Ripple with $13,316,939,998
and Ethereum with $12,431,988,997 Market Cap.
How real is this? It`s a question.
