I got this information, for listing at Coinmarketcap which now no longer requires trading volume.
right or not I don't know.
In their official
FAQ, one of the conditions for listing is the following:
- Must have a non-zero trading volume on at least one supported exchange so a price can be determined.
They don't explicitly state what this
non-zero trading volume should be.
I also was under the impression that they require a volume of at least $100,000 per day (or $50,000 according to some sources), but it seems that they have removed this criterion:
As of July 16, the site has now removed the minimum volume requirements that it had been using to limit the number of exchanges listed on the site.

But, it's hard to believe that they won't internally somehow estimate the volume and still use it as one of the necessary requirement.
I agree that the opposite should be true as well. To delist the coin once it shows signs of inactivity.
