Litecoin was far ahead of binance coin few years ago, but unfortunately litecoin team could not sustain the marketing and promotions of it's project, then come binance coin, of binance chain with constant promotions and marketing of the BNB project with its exchange platform. As a matter of facts, litecoin has been overtaken by several coin/token even BNB, and its value and positions on the coinmarketcap continue to deminish.
As it stand in cryptocurrecy growth and adoptions, it will be very difficult for litecoin to regain it lost value at cryptocurrecy ecosystem and on the coinmarketcap ranking.
Bnb may remain a on top of litecoin for many years to come
and this will reflects on the coinmarketcap with a steady BNB adoptions, while litecoin keep going on a slow pace.
