It’s like they put a velvet rope at coin #201, and only some coins can pass beyond that, and others can’t.
What is the explanation? Do you have to pay Binance to get past this velvet rope? Does someone at Binance try and decided what’s “worthy” of being on the first two pages?
Why do you think CZ and Binance purchase CMC. It will be their tool to propagate their idea about the market and they can manipulate certain aspects of the market with the rankings so that anyone who used to check CMC would continue to do so but forgets the fact that the owners changed hands and you cannot expect a fair view of the market especially if there is something that could boost up their business.
