Ripple (XRP) and Toncoin (TON) have been significantly affected by the recent downturn in the crypto market, each declining by over 20% in the past seven days. Given their proximity in market capitalization rankings, could these declines lead to a rearrangement in their positions?

According to recent data from CoinMarketCap, the cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a significant downturn. Over the last seven days, notable cryptocurrencies have seen substantial declines in their value. 

Ripple (XRP), for instance, has lost over 23% of its value, positioning it as the seventh-largest by market capitalization.

As of the latest data, XRP’s market capitalization stands at approximately $25.9 billion, reflecting the sharp decrease in its value. Similarly, TON’s market capitalization has been affected, currently valued at around $13.2 billion.
