Surprisingly, Ethereum has lost its silver throne to Ripple (XRP), which gained an approximate 100% in just a week.
The lowest and highest levels of XRP market cap have approximately $19.8 billion in-between. This means almost a 184% increase. It is true that the valuation decreased after its weekly peak, but just to a limited extent. Within this course, Ripple’s market cap saw higher values than Ethereum. Although for a limited time period, XRP replaced the silver to Bitcoin’s bright gold. On the other hand, the XRP trend’s peak was stopped with a sell-off, resulting in the third position again.
