Its very possible since eth has a bigger coins in circulation compared to bitcoin. As of now, bitcoin is still the number one in terms of market capitalization. What the Eth had surpassed from bitcoin is the daily trading volume. In coinmarketcap Eth is at $1,581,960,000 volume in 24 hrs while bitcoin is at $1,440,320,000.
It's amazing that it has finally come to that. I like bitcoin, it still builds on the advantage of being first, but it can't compete with the innovations coming from ETH at this point.
