The article starts by introducing the two indicating their current value: Two of the most popular cryptocurrencies right now are Bitcoin and XRP (XRP 1.95%). As of this writing (July 28), Bitcoin's price of roughly $120,000 is hovering near all-time highs. Meanwhile, at only $3, XRP appears much more modest.
Ethereum is still huge in marketcap than Ripple.
Ethereum was not able to compete with bitcoin, not to talk if Ripple.
I will not be surprised if a coin is created that will take over either any if the two coins. As some people thinks that they are bitcoin competitor, not knowing that they also have competitors that can take over the second sport.
I still think USDT may take over both one day.
