How do I process or fast-track a listing request?
Category-specific listings
Please review this to understand the criteria for the following:
(CRYPTOASSETS) Why is my listing ‘untracked’ on CMC? How can I get it ‘tracked’?
We offer a fast-track service (CMC Priority or CMCP). Please review the price schedule here.
�Projects that do not meet the minimum requirements MAY still be featured on the site as Preview/untracked listings, as outlined below. Kindly review our listings criteria - https://coinmarketcap.com/methodology/#listings-criteria
For a cryptoasset to be considered for a listing review, it must meet the following prerequisites:
Note that these are just the minimum requirements and meeting them does not guarantee a tracked listing, as we benchmark submissions against others in the cohort.
(EXCHANGES) Why is my listing ‘untracked’ on CMC? How can I get it ‘tracked’?
We offer a fast-track service (CMC Priority or CMCP). Please review the price schedule here.�
Projects that do not meet the minimum requirements MAY still be featured on the site as Preview/untracked listings, as outlined below. Kindly review our listings criteria - https://coinmarketcap.com/methodology/#listings-criteria
For an exchange to be considered for a tracked listing review, it must meet the following prerequisites (Congruence with our API ideal samples (See item 2.1 below) would simplify the process of integration if the exchange is shortlisted):
Note that these are just the minimum requirements and meeting them does not guarantee a tracked listing, as we benchmark submissions against others in the cohort.
Our prices are derived from APIs, rather than assigned by us.
The price of a cryptoasset is calculated using an algorithm that factors the ‘trustability’ or ‘confidence’ from the distribution of prices reported by an exchange. According to the law of large numbers, the expected value of the price distribution should converge to the real value of the asset. The rationale for using the distribution of prices reported by an exchange is because each market pair can be viewed as a sample of the ‘real’ price. If an asset is traded across many exchanges, its reported prices will converge to the expected value of the distribution. When we have a large number of markets, the expected value of price distribution should converge to the ‘real’ price.��Some prices are excluded from the average, denoted by an asterisk (*) on the markets tab if the price does not seem indicative of a free market price; for example, when an exchange disables withdrawals or deposits, or regulatory conditions make it impossible for anyone else outside of a certain geographical region to buy coins.
Some prices are also excluded when our algorithms detect that the reported price is a significant outlier when compared to other market pairs for the same cryptocurrency, denoted by three asterisks (***) on the markets tab. The volume of any cryptoasset is the total spot trading volume reported by all exchanges over the last 24 hours for that cryptoasset. Some market pairs are excluded from the sum, denoted by two asterisks (**) on the markets tab, if the exchange does not enforce a trading fee or otherwise offers significant incentives to trade on the market pair. Market pairs with these characteristics are rather susceptible to wash trading, resulting in artificially inflated reported volumes. From our experience, we have found that it is better to exclude these markets to give a better representation of relative trading volumes for the crypto market.
How do we fix the price and volume outlier detection on a specific crypto asset?
It is relatively easy for anyone to create a cryptoasset with a putative market cap of USD 164B
For Cryptoasset rank, please review these materials:
For Exchange rank, please review these materials:
We have sought to provide some degree of transparency by providing general guidance on our evaluation framework. The rationale for not being too specific or granular is because we do not want to make it easy for projects to 'game the system'. This is common practice across a host of industries:
I should be ranked higher. How does your ranking system work? How do I get a higher rank?
How do I ‘fix’ my verified circulating supply and market cap?
Ensure that you have submitted the necessary documentation here. As the adage goes, don't trust, verify. Anyone can tell us that their project has a putative market cap of USD 164 billion and it would be expedient for us to publish that figure without any critical analysis. In fact, many actors in this space have every incentive to inflate their CS/MC, which could displace honest projects from our rankings page. In the spirit of fairness and data fidelity, should we take what projects say at face value and let them grade their own homework or should we endeavor to apply a consistent methodology across the 14M+ cryptoassets on our site? Users and the media often question us over large balances that are ostensibly 'circulating' for certain projects, which necessitate reasonable efforts on the due diligence front.
Our decision on whether to publish the verified CS will therefore depend on the team's ability to verify the data with a reasonable level of confidence. In particular, the team will evaluate the asset's trading venues, volume, and liquidity to determine whether these are commensurate with the notional market cap/rank.
The CMC team determines the Circulating Supply and Cryptoasset Rank based on our methodology.
Unless you have strong evidence that users on the exchange cannot withdraw the assets (i.e. they are fake), this would be antithetical to free market principles. The exchange might have bought the asset on the secondary market. Our role as a data aggregator is to take a non-partisan approach.
We can change the ticker symbol if this is reflected in the API endpoints of the majority of exchanges. Changing the ticker symbols to something that does not match the ticker symbols in exchange APIs will cause the price feeds to break.
Can I change my ticker symbol on CMC?
Exchanges (especially DEXes) do not impose any restrictions on ticker symbols; Given that we pull market data from exchange APIs, we do not place similar restrictions as tickers are non-rivalrous. it is also not uncommon for projects to share identical ticker symbols (e.g. HOT).
Can I change the slug of my CMC page?
We strongly advise against changing to the slug due to the adverse impact that it would have on the SEO of the page, which would hurt the discoverability of your project on Google. Changing the slug will often cause the page to momentarily disappear on the site. That said, we are more than happy to change the display name of your project as it would not have any impact on the aforementioned.
Can I reserve a ticker symbol on CMC?
Can I delist a market pair because the exchange listed our asset without permission?
Our trending list is algorithmically-determined by an amalgamation of traffic/page views, volume, liquidity, and social chatter on CMC community. It is against our policy to disclose the thresholds as there is an element of competitive-benchmarking (or bell-curving) against the cohort.
How do I get my project into the trending list on CMC?
Why do some market pairs have a ‘N/A’ confidence score?
This is due to a lack of data points needed to calculate the confidence score. More often than not, this is due to missing orderbook and/or liquidity data from the exchange associated with the market pair.
We pull price and volume data for all market pairs from the API endpoints of exchanges that we have integrated with If we have not integrated with the exchange that the asset is trading on, it is not possible to track prices for the market pair in question. We are only able to track markets whose (i) assets and (ii) exchanges have 'tracked listing' status on CoinMarketCap and have material trading volume. �Please review the different listing tiers.
In order for us to review the eligibility of tracking new markets, we would first need a submission (preferably from project representatives) for the following:
After items (1) and (2) are approved and added to the site,
Why are you not tracking the market pairs for X? The volume on exchange X is understated due to this.
The search optimises for exact symbol matches. If you search for "OASIS", coins with the exact ticker symbol OASIS will be prioritised.
CMC’s price charts amalgamate data from exchanges at the time that the asset is tracked on CMC. Please check the exchange's 5-min line chart in the first few hours since listing before raising any requests. Note that CMC’s line charts take the 5-min closing price (as is customary with ohlcv data). As a data aggregator, CMC will NOT modify data to help projects improve chart optics. If the trade did indeed transpire, it will be displayed on the price chart. If there are legitimate reasons to modify chart data, projects may follow the steps outlined here.
