Has anyone noticed that as well?
Yes, I've noticed that. You're spot on.
They have their own checking and verifying criteria before listing a token there.
We can't confidently say that now of CMC. I remember what the process was like getting tokens on the CMC in 2017/2018. Now everything seems to have been watered down with it. There are tokens I see listed on the CMC this day and I shake in my head because I can spot the scam in them at once.
