Coinmarketcap is the real reason why so many new projects devs are misleaded, they go to CMC and pick from the top rated exchanges to list their tokens because CMC gives all bad exchanges good rating, that's very misleading
Maybe now that Binance CZ is about to take over, new projects developers will start making the right decision about those Exchanges
Then, this is to hope that CMC will have a change and shows data that can be trusted.
I believe this is all about money and money talks as well. It may be since Binance CZ will soon to manage CMC, there is no such thing to happen in order to regain their reputation. It is all that people are now be needing clarification about the issue and so they will be enlightened about what they could expect from them.
Because if this will continue, it will only create doubts and it lessens the numbers of traders and investors.
