I value Binance exchange as one of the best exchanges at the same time I respect the team for always trying to ensure they offer the best, but I think going for this is bad for the entire space. Binance is an exchange and should remain as such, acquiring coinmarketcap will only but give rise to more manipulation from them because all their doings will be for the benefit of their platforms and those who aren't in accordance with what they want might face backlashes. I think this is time for coingecko to step up as people and platforms will try to seek a coinmarket which is somewhat independent.
