as we know now Ripple has taken the position of Ethereum (ranked 2 in the coinmarketcap), and will this change everything in the future? My point is that Ripple replaces Ethereum whether there will be major changes in the future, such as whether all ICOs will use Ripple as a payment from their ICO to replace payments using Ethereum and all exchanges will use Ripple (XRP) as a payment to buy or sell altcoins on the exchange.
if I think that can happen and what do you think? please give your opinion.
I think the first place on Coinmarketcap doesn't mean the cryptocurrency will be used by ICOs cause in this case, all project should be based on BTC. The technical side of the blockchain is what is important, ETH is adapted to such a work.
