XRP Ripple is just showing that they are competent in the market. They have surpassed ETH couple of times. But let's admit it as for now they can't really beat yet Ethereum. Everytime they made to the second place Ethereum always made a great come back too in just period of time. One thing I can say about XRP Ripple is that they have have huge potential.
I agree with that, even though XRP was able to surpass ethereum several times but actually ethereum is still not defeated because the ranking on the market does not judge from the potential aspect, ethereum still has a community that is much larger than XRP not to mention because ethereum is also the most used platform by lots of coins and new projects, therefore ethereum is still very likely to return to the highest price and will again take a position at number 2 on the market
