A cryptocurrency expert thinks that XRP might overtake Ethereum in market value in the next three months, which could threaten Ethereum’s position as the second biggest cryptocurrency.
This claim has triggered arguments in the cryptoverse, with some people doubting if Ethereum can stay in its No. 2 spot.
Ethereum’s Struggles Raise Worries
Ethereum has struggled in recent months, leading some analysts to suggest that its dominance is fading. According to reports, Ethereum’s market cap has been declining, and its price has failed to gain significant momentum.
Analyst Says Ether Is ‘Dying’
A crypto analyst who made this bold prediction says that some of the issues the Ethereum network is being hounded with include slow processing and high fees. These problems have made some users and developers explore alternative blockchain solutions, including XRP Ledger.
ETH is dying.
I give it 90 days. That’s all it takes for $XRP to flip its market cap.
— EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) March 15, 2025
Given the current state of the market, Edoardo Farina, a market analyst and the founder of Alpha Lions Academy, thinks XRP could soon surpass Ethereum in terms of market capitalization.
“ETH is dying,” the pundit asserted.
For comparison, with a market valuation of $230 billion, ETH remains the second-largest cryptocurrency asset despite the poor performance.
XRP’s Growth Gains Attention
The token’s expanding use cases and regulatory clarity are the primary reasons why XRP supporters believe it has what it takes to surpass Ethereum.
Ripple, the organization responsible for XRP, has been developing cross-border payment solutions that have the potential to increase their adoption. XRP could surpass Ethereum in market capitalization within three months if it maintains its present trajectory, according to Farina.
Ethereum is worth more than $400 billion right now, while XRP is valued about $35 billion. So, even though there is a big difference, a flippening could happen if Ethereum keeps having trouble and the price of XRP soars.
Dispute Regarding The Prediction
Not everyone agrees with the forecast. Many argue that XRP’s decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contract features would never allow it to rival Ethereum. Ethereum has thousands of projects built on its blockchain, giving it a strong foundation despite its recent challenges.
What Is The Next Action?
While the debate continues, market trends will ultimately determine whether XRP can challenge Ethereum’s position.
For now, Ethereum remains the second-largest cryptocurrency, but if its struggles persist, XRP supporters may have reason to be optimistic.
The next months will be of great relevance. If Ethereum can find its rhythm, its position will most likely become more dominant. But if XRP sees major price rises and general acceptance, the crypto rankings might change significantly.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
