The recent market proves that the price of Ethereum is very unstable, its volatility is far greater than Bitcoin, Ripple and other mainstream altcoins, so Ethereum is not suitable for market rank 2, I think BCH or ripple Will soon replace the status of Ethereum.
I also think that ethereum will likely be removed from his position and BCH is the strongest candidate who will replace ethereum in second place because I think that among all the coins only BCH will be able to compete with ethereum in terms of price and volume if ripple I am still not sure
