Since the past week, it has been a season of overtaking between major cryptocurrency coins and tokens. “Survival of the fittest” is the theme that is most likely to suit this narrative, as cryptocurrencies have continued to knock out the nearest perceived rival to reclaim its spot.
This is the current case of Tether USDT which is now the 4th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. With gains of 0.10% at press time. More interestingly, USDT happens to be the only token amongst the top ten to be raking in gains while the majority struggles with losses ranging from 2 to 7%.

Meanwhile, the situation of things between now and the last 24hrs has changed massively as USDT was still trading at the 6th spot below EOS and BCH which is currently dwindling in value by 3.32% and 1.5% respectively.
Despite the fact that USDT’s trading price of $1.01 neither made an upswing or took a downswing, it was clear that the token had built enough momentum to take down at least one of the nearest opponents when its market capitalization moved from $2.03 billion to settle at $2.04 billion against that of EOS and BCH which is currently an estimated $2.03 billion and $1.95 billion.
