LTC has replaced XRP for the 4th place

[sulis sudibyo]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[ethereumhunter]

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.

[LogitechMouse]

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.

[safari88]

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.

[NeuroticFish]

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....

[culuuton]

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

Total supply isn't all , 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.

[nemey]

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

[youdacapt]

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.
