Coinmarketcap is the real reason why so many new projects devs are misled, 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
are you trying to say that the devs or project team don't think straight or what? any new project team or dev supposed to make a deep research on exchanges they plan to use. coinmarketcap is not supposed to that for them. if they saw the data set up by CMC, it is their job to be sure the data are correct.
