Coinmarketcap.com isn't neutral since a long time.

They were acquired by Binance a few years back  , so ofc they will promote stuff which interests binance.

I think Coingecko is a nice alternative.  But Coinmarketcap is still usable.

Even before Binance acquired Coinmarketcap, it was already a questionable site that promoted frauds and scams. Rather than a vetting process to make sure what's only listed are legitimate projects, all they have is a payment structure for any project to be admitted and be visible.

Projects are free to put whatever imaginary numbers they have in mind for their volume and whatnot. Projects could even hit the list without basic information about them.

At the end of the day, however, who says Coinmarketcap is a site that guides investors and visitors as to which project is legit, high-quality, promising, or not?
