I’ve been using them for years, I know Binance owns them…but I can’t understand why page 3 (starting at #201 Hex) has coins like Safemoon, that have a higher market cap than every coin on page 2…but is stuck on page 3.
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?
No, they are not, the right word should be misleading they have their criteria on ranking coins they index you can find it all here
https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/rankAlthough most individuals track cryptocurrency ranks according to market cap, CoinMarketCap gives the option to adjust ranking based on price, 24-hour and seven-day price change, volume, and circulating supply.
If you're not comfortable using Coinmarketcap, there's a lot of better alternatives and each one of them has a way of ranking coins they index.
