Ripple’s XRP has retaken the position of second largest cryptocurrency by market cap after overtaking Ethereum’s cryptocurrency ether for a second time within the last two months.
XRP overtook Ethereum for the first time around mid-November amid bearish drops across the market where XRP held its value better than Ethereum.
An outperformance from Ethereum which started around mid-December resulted in Ethereum retaking the position.
However, declines over the past 24 hours have brought XRP up to the second position with XRP outperforming Ethereum on this decline.
XRP has declined in value around 6% over the past 24 hours, but Ethereum has declined over 12% in the same period.
