After occupying the second position in the top list of cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCapital for so long. More than once, XRP has taken over Ethereum in number two after Bitcoin (BTC) at this time.

The XRP took over the second position in November when the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hash battle. Not long after that, ETH got its second position back in January.

Ethereum Constantinople.
The updated Ethereum Constantinople planned to take place on January 16, 2019 will reduce block prizes for miners from three to two. In addition, this will also open the way for the transition from the Proof-Of-Work (PoW) algorithm to Proof-Of-Stake (PoS) which will be updated on Ethereum 2.0.
