well, i think ripple could regain back the number 3 spot. the decline in ranking is due to the decrease of price if ripple could go back to above $.3 then it could take back the #2 ranking. meanwhile, USDT is a stable coin so it does not have a drastic movement in the marketplace. i think if BTC could raise again to above $12K and hold it there. I think ripple could rise as well and take the #3 spot.
