XRP beats the Ethereum and now 2nd position. We have to check that Ripple is older than the Ethereum so once Ethereum beaten the Ripple and in future again it will happen.
Yes right, maybe Ripple defeated Ethereum in terms of market share at this time. They don't compete with one another because they have a different foundation, so that their prices do not affect each other.
I'm sure Ethereum can still return to second place at least in mid-2019.
