I knew this day will come, finally CZ changes the rules on coinmarketcap, now all projects are ranked with Liquidity, good bye to fake volume, have anyone else noticed this already?

Lol, the fact is you can only manipulate volume not liquidity, there is no way to go about it, the truth will be revealed instantly, don't underestimate CZ, he is a money making man but he has huge reputation to protect, it's win win for everybody when it comes to CZ

I have noticed that I think few days ago. Before exchanges were ranked into three different categories but most of the visitors doesn't really understand how that measurement is done. Now, obviously they'll always put Binance to number 1. Not a problem for most users but this is a problem for some other exchanges that competes with BNB. Having one category to rank most of the exchanges is already enough and it's easier for the users to understand.

Not only volume, liquidity from centralized exchanges too cannot be trusted. They implement several ways to manipulate it. They even rig APIs.
CMC did this change mostly to bring Binance in number one position. Which itself is a message that they would manipulate the data to make it look the way they want. Not going to trust CMC blindly.

agree, they implement new strategy with a goal to make Binance number one, but previous strategy was also not good, since there were some unknown exchange, with questionable quality on top spots, this with Binance on the top is closer to realistic situation, since Binance is one of most well known exchanges
however, do not like monopoly, so looking for other websites that provide these data, and currently i use coinpaprika.com, will see if this is better with them

You wrote new protects what I understood like coins. But you talk about exchanges. Exchange is never called a project in crypto.

To me exchanges are ranked by Web Traffic Factor and not liquidity. I never actually check exchanges ratings on CMC. Sometimes check pairs they have and volume That is all. 

CZ will not do that because its own exchange site has become the biggest crypto exchange site. It's better to remove those crap exchange sites who have been regularly manipulating their volume.

Are you feeling so bad caused by the new mechanism that being implemented on CMC?

Did you mean beware of the incoming manipulative acts from exchange sites not from CZ? We all knew shady exchange manipulative trading volume before this. With CZ new reference data, why those sites try to manipulative the new Liquidity or Trafic to get back at the top?

In past he wanted to rollback BTC blockchain to get the stolen bitcoins, imagine what he is gonna do with CMC

This is ideally the way it should be, and binance incorporation with Coinmarketcap seems to have fast forward the processes.
Hence the need to focus more on liquidity.

The marriage of cz and coinmarketcap is one that comes with worry, and monopolization of the market space, and we can only hope cz does not join the manipulative forces.

That's good news, bad trades will no longer be on the charts, but the problem is, Does CZ manipulate the volume of exchanges he owns.

Of course binance and CZ would have made some changes but liquidity is not really the only thing that matters when it comes to coins, marketcap was always a big thing and even though it could be fake or not, it is really the biggest thing that people look at nowadays. This is like doing something ethical and still not getting the attention it deserves.

We see these things in politics a lot, you have a candidate that tells the right things and talk about the right things, whereas some other buffoon that makes no sense at all gets more votes. It is going to be like that for coinmarketcap, it doesn't have to get dethroned in the ranking world, still would be probably used as the most, but could lose users because of this feature. However it could be liked even more, I wouldn't know, I personally find this much better.

Expected one, that is why they bought coinmarket cap for such huge price tag. :)

But there will be always some kind of manipulation sooner or later so don't trust the stats provided by coinmarketcap blindly.

Well i am surprised to see many people criticizing this move but to be honest this is a great move and we will get rid of fake bot trading volumes and finally we will be seeing how many buyers are there for a coin so personally i support this cmc feature.

Yes it is part of the improvement that majority of the people want. They had a survey and asked people to tell them the kind of improvement they want and I believe a lot of the people do not want to see exchange with fake volumes ranking high on the website and that is exactly why the latest update has taken care of that. It is most likely we shall see more integration and other feature very soon because CZ always make reference to this on his twitter page

Hopefully this could be good and very positive start by CZ and they will do some more good things in near future which will help many new investors and members for better way of investment we have to give them some time for this all.

Actually, CZ don't change rules but embrace it base on community opinion on twitter chat on April 22 when he asked his followers what they will like to be corrected on capital market and the took place on the 15th of this month.
With that been said, I'm happy for the change because web traffic was used to judge exchange ranking.

I wouldn't trust CZ all the time for owning that CMC. Of course he has reasons why he bought that CMC. Remember that binance is trying hard to conquer everything even help Justine Sun to takeover steemit. He also  says his intention to rollback the chain when binance was hacked.

Did you noticed that CMC is getting slow already? I'm not sure what they are doing already but I'm sure something is going on with CMC under its hood.

Good to see that fake volumes are gone but major changes were expected after Binance took over the site and i expect them to use it to promote their site.

Here are the threads that are created earlier regarding CMC and the expected changes.

Now Binance owns CMC! A Red alert for all the shit Exchanges (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236926.0)

What the shit is happening in CMC? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224576.20)

CMC Misleading new projects  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236993.0)

If you are following CZ who thought about a rollback when their exchange got hacked, so ethics should not be related with him.

from the options you said, it looks like CZ made the right decision and this is the news we've been waiting for. that with this change at least they have made the right decision to reduce bad projects or reduce the manipulation of coin prices at CMC.

Yes and expect cmc to be more lucrative and efficient pirce tracker soon. Im sure CZ plan this already to make such improvement on the market, but Im sure there are some that will probably agree that there will be manipulation on some affiliated projects of Binance or their empire. They will favor their allies on the market like Justin Sun tron. But as long as cmc remains good platform to refer too then no one will dirty complain about CZ moves.

The possibility for binance was also to taking the advantage from this is also can't be avoided too.

Justin is very well known as a guy that always spreads BS to pump his project. he is always shilling his project anytime as he can.

What we can do just hope there will be no a big change on CMC.

After reading your post it took me a minute to actually find it but I did. They have also added confidence metric in CMC both of those metrics are really useful IMO.

I knew right from when binance acquired coinmarketcap that he will drive in standard to crypto tracking and will send projects and exchanges involved in wash and fake volume manipulation to where they belong. Ranking project by liquidity is the sure way to properly track both coins/token/exchange real life volume. Cz is really a huge force in this space.... More Greace to his elboy

Binance will turn CMC in favor to their projects or listed projects on their exchange leaving other projects a negative view on investors. If Justin is really an alliance of Binance, then this is dangerous, that guy is always making a huge surprises and shills on the market. I remember how the issue on steemit become trending due to his arrogance. I am using CMC always but never noticed any good improvement yet. Maybe on the features not yet, but I am hoping they add some more cool one especially its under CZ now.

goodbye fake volume? - watch this interview I did with Alex Mashinsky a few days ago and you tell me if you still think "goodbye fake volume":

https://www.cointelligence.com/content/on-yavin-founder-and-ceo-of-cointelligence-and-alex-mashinsky-founder-and-ceo-of-celsius-network/

Well, you should trust Cz. He will never overdo it in this market. He always prioritizes the user in every situation, it seems you don't like the way he works?

Yeah i have seen already a few new features implemented in coinmarketcap. Which exchange how much safe for your coins  trading right now three categories High,low and moderate. cmc is big moving through cz undoubtedly i think right person are acquired these popular coin tracking site.                 

For the past 3-4 years, I used to trust Coinmarketcap blindly. But not anymore. Nowadays I am verifying whatever information I get from Coinmarketcap, by comparing them with other sites such as Coingecko. But then, I have to say that I haven't noticed any major manipulation from Coinmarketcap till now. It looks as if the autonomy of Coinmarketcap is being maintained, at least on the outside.

I think all would be tight for a listing on coinmarketcap since been taken over by CZ. fake volume will expire fake coin that has a listing on coinmarketcap will be monitored to maximize how well these projects and of course how the original volume generated at the exchange.

If you follow Coinmarketcap regularly, I believe you will see more changes than that. And the thing that makes me happy is that they eliminated fake volume exchanges, it helped a lot of people and helped them avoid bullshit exchanges

I also did not think there would be a problem in Coinmarketcap, look at the marketcap of coins that are in the top 200 more, their marketcap is bigger than the top 20 but they are in the position of 200 more, I'm wonder why ??? ???

If they did eliminate they didnt do enough Coingecko, Cryptocompare and Coinpaprika have done a much better job then Coinmarketcap so far.

We all are expecting the regulation made on Decentralized manner, as they said in an interview Chan stated that the acquisition "is really good for CMC in the way that we feel we can tap into the expertise of Binance,” emphasizing that the company has grown to employ more than 900 staff since launching in 2017.

She noted that the departure of the company’s founder Brandon Chez is among the largest changes resulting from the acquisition, however, she emphasized that Brandon “feels that he has placed his trust in the team, and in the new parent company.”

Overall, Chan stated that the CoinMarketCap team is “really excited about where [CMC] could go” following the acquisition. we all waited for the Coinmarketcap being trustable for All. Now a days most of the Market analyze platforms are coming in the industry with more advanced features, but cant able to beat the Coinmarketcap. I saw one of the Livecoinwatch (https://tokenncoin.com) their features also good.

If that is the case then it would be a good thing for crypto community since that those low-key and scam exchanges will be eliminated in the picture that means that only those top tier exhcanges will make further developments in order to compete with another sure it's a win win situtations for crypto community.

Coinmarketcap is a great place to see the prices of some coins, but if you check carefully, the trading volume here is fake trading volume and makes a lot of investors easy to make mistakes when investing.

I think since Binance bought Coinmarketcap it made me want to stay away from this site because Binance is trying to manipulate all of this market. Certainly CMC will support Binance a lot and you need to check carefully before deciding whether to join or not.

I have heard of a fake volume in an exchange. but I have never encountered it when I made a sale transaction on the coins that I have. I was hearing about the end of this fake volume from you. and of course traders will see clearly about the development of the coins they will buy

We're not sure if the rules/technology of ranking is working as right as we think it is.
Afaik its not open sourced so we can't know for sure, we gotta hope tho

I only wish we can all say the same. No doubt, its an obvious fact CZ is doing a great job, but don't be quick to think that there are no manipulations from his end. I know that bots and API's could be manipulated to Increase liquidity. I still believe that CZ has made substantial contribution to the cryptocurrency industry and he's not done yet, let's anticipate much more break through.

Goodbuy fake volume, hello strange ranking. Exchanges lists is totally terrible

I just hope this rule will make coinmarketcap better at seeing the volume in some exchanges and some exchanges with fake volumes will be removed from there immediately.

of course more and more important people are working together on cryptocurrency then it is certain that the development of cryptocurrency will be greater than before, hopefully with the news it could trigger investors and whales to go in to support and use the Binance exchange platform.

CZ is very smart and always has a strategy to make Binance exchange more and more attractive to investors. This trading platform is currently considered the number one in this market, and there are hundreds of good projects listed here. I think there will be a lot of manipulation from CZ, but you will not realize it because this is the strategy of Coinmarketcap and Binance.

CZ acquires CMC is a good thing, and in a few years, there will be a lot of changes in this market. I think exchanges with fake trading volumes will soon be removed from here and coins with zero trading volume will be delisted from CMC because these coins should not exist in this market. I look forward to the change of CMC because this site is so familiar to everyone here.

I saw it, they removed the fake volume exchange in this market and now the list becomes much cleaner and much better. It helps newbies not to get stuck with fake volume exchanges and makes them safer in this market

I've also seen it, it's quite good if the ranking feature has been provided for each coin because we can monitor the biggest transaction volume every day, but I think there are still gaps to be manipulated if CMC wants to do it.

Are you a part from the team that came from the crap exchange sites that have already kicked by binance from the top list? The only strange thing that is still happening right now to see scam exchange sites didn't removed by CMC.  :D

The thing about binance owning CMC is the problem with fake exchanges making too much noise and getting their community behind them as well. They will blame CMC and CZ for removing them because they were a good competition against Binance and the reality will be that they were removed because they were faking their volume.

So, they will get together as bunch of exchanges and build a coalition against CZ and CMC and they will get thousands probably tens of thousands of their followers all together and do as much harm to CMC and Binance and CZ as they can, which would eventually might hurt as well but I do not think would damage too much. That is when we should know that CMC is not removing just their opponents, they are removing some small places that fake their volumes and "look" like good and that's it.

yes I've seen it and I think it's good, so people will know which volume is fake and which is original, I hope there will be other interesting features that make coinmarketcap trustworthy again.

Although the CZ master is trying to create the mood that he is doing good work, we can actually see that the market is in his hands now. Yes, maybe he did something visibly beautiful, but I have to say that CZ has managed to monopolize the market with these moves. Now, it is possible for millions of people to check the website where they control the data according to their own wishes, and they can also make changes according to their own wishes. Well, are you aware of this dangerous situation?

It's better now, but i have hard time understanding that ProBit is still in 31th place. The volume action in there on most of the coins/tokens is so obviously faked it gives me nausea.

There's been a lot of cool developments on CMC recently. Coinmarketcap has a chat option where people can talk about their Altcoins. This is great development to bring together the users of CMC on a single chat forum. I've noticed the changes inin ranking its best to know the real liquidity of exchanges.

So far there were some drastic changes after CZ purchasing the CMC website and the chat option is really a great option but to have a dedicated fan following in the chat you need to have some fun games and puzzles to make things interesting for the people in the chat and most of the gambling sites chat platform are active because some are there in for the free coin and if CMC can come up with good ideas then they will have a following in the chat section and there is a complete ranking change and whatever it may it is just a product to promote their exchange.

I think this is good because it is what many crypto supporters look forward to before cz acquisition many people was already complaining of cmc inaccurate data, allowing exchange with fake volume to take the top spots, but now I guess all that is about to change, there will be completely sanitation it seems, I like it.

What you everyone has a problem that Binance bought Coinmarketcap website? Since they buy it, I see a lot of improvements, for example new chat options is a great way how to get into touch with developers  ;).

Another way to allow each traders who are looking for information around CMC, chat function gives investors to talk to someone who have same interest, with  function like this many people will get to know and allow additional information to help fellow traders to learn more about their target project to invest in.

Step by step readers noticed good development after CZ acquired this site, looking forward to see more good data and better rankings according to real info and not just because of manipulated status.

CZ has got god idea and I am also strongly looking forward to more development. Coingecko was almost taking over coinmarketcap, but thanks to the goodness and for the quick intervention of CZ. Well, I just hope it does not become manipulated again, since an exchange owner, the number one exchnage, now control the affairs of the first coin market watch site.

This is a major change that the ranking got changed to volume, which makes it vulnerable to volume pumps. Nevertheless, I do think that Coingeck will be hard competition for coinmarketcap.

This is actually one of the setbacks about the liquidity aspect. There may be project owners that will resort to pumps to make their coin look good in terms of trading volume. However, this kind of strategy is not sustainable. So in time, you will see the true nature of the coin because you can't manipulate the trading of your coin all the time. Anyway, it is just a start. If CMC will find another strong criteria to classify their coins, I think they will implement it. At least, we are seeing some developments on this site and they are not just sitting there for nothing.

I think you are still guessing that CZ will rule the cryptocurrency. I know CZ wants to monopolize everything, after Binance Dex now CZ has Binance USD. Still Binance exchange is number 9 in coinmarketcap by volume where in Coingecko number 1 exchange is Binance. You know this information isn't right that VINDAX has the top volume in the coinmarketcap.

Since Cz binance attain his mainstream in crypto market during the ending of 2017, the man has been known for providing the best of services in the whole of crypto market and through the creation of quality services, he has been able to inspire others to really improve on their services so Cz acquiring CMC; the largest coin tracker in crypto space is the best that that has every happened to that platform and like you said, we are already seeing positive changes to the reported volume of coins and exchange

All data at Coinmarketcap is wrong, and if compared, the Binance exchange should stand at the number one position. I think CZ is the person who can control this whole market because he has a great influence on the investors here. Also, the acquisition of CMC is proof that CZ has huge financial resources and the ever-changing Binance exchange for becoming more and more perfect in the future.

It's better for you to visit CMC again as it has already changed since a long time ago https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

Binance has already placed in the first place and then huobi in the second place. I may think you are not updated with the latest information.

CZ can do whatever the heck he wants,,, and he will probably succeed at most of it in the beginning when crypto people are still depending on exchanges to keep their money for them. But one day, this will all not sustain and fall. When things crash like MtGox and people suffer, then they will remember. And learn.

Coinmarketcap is more realistic now, they are slowly correcting those fake volumes, As you can see volume is not the only basis now they have added  Web Traffic Factor and Average Liquidity which is more precise basis on which exchanges has real users. By adding Web traffic they can easily identify which exchanges used bots to generates fake volume. CZ is doing great, At first, I thought acquiring CMC does not benefit binance but I was wrong it does not only benefit binance but it benefits all of us crypto enthusiasts by having more realistic data.

I don't think there is anything to do between the Bullish market and the online chat feature on coinmarketcap, because in general the coinmarketcap site is a site that has long been providing exchange ranking services and coin ranking services that are there as well as daily trading volume on each coin and exchange, so it's not something to do with the Bullish market.

I noticed it and I like the new look of Coinmarketcap, however, we can't avoid some eyes that against the changes of coinmarketcap, they are telling that Binance are influencing the site to manipulate and make them in the rank number 1.

I don't really doubt binance not being number one, just look at their own coin it's rank eight, that means alot of people use their trading platform. The average crypto user probably doesn't care about binance being number one in coinmarketcap.

Let's see what all this will lead to, but for now it’s clear that CZ and its team are working on various coinmarketcap improvements and I hope that soon there will be many interesting and needed improvements and updates that all interested in cryptocurrencies will need.

That's right and just look on the matter of FTX Bull and Bear Tokens Delisting . First CZ annouced that FTX's Bull and Bear tokens are not suitable for users and that are more risky for trading. So, Binance delist all the FTX's bull and Bear Coins. After some weeks, CZ announced their own Bull and Bear Tokens which is really ridiculous thins. Also it's true that no exchange stay long run in this markets. Sooner or later it'll be crashed.

Like the old quote: You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain.
Although I like Binance and still do even at today, for one thing I know that if a widely popular and centralized exchange becomes too dominant at every other exchange, the situation will change and no more nice guy or act on the benefit of customers.

I haven't checked on CoinMarketCap for a while now cos at some point I got discouraged seeing numerous shit and scam projects being listed there. If CZ can do a clean up on the project listings on CoinMarketCap, then tht would be a very good development. Its high time scam and unworthy projects are put where they belong.

Not really but I will be more aware of it now, I shifted to Coingecko, I still trying to sell some of my shitcoins here in my wallets and Coingecko, are still monitoring these shitcoins, it's a good move for Coinmarketcap they know when it comes to this, they they can rule it including all those coins listed in their platform. 
Expect more changes that will favor Coinmarketcap and Binance.

They should start removing shitcoins in the CMC and list real only coins that are active with 24 hr trading volume. Glad that CMC has a new well known management, CZ could make a big change in the platform that’s so influential in the crypto space.

If they improve it a lot, could they potentially sell it more? I still can't believe the website was sold for 400 million dollars. I think there is a logical approach to this and they must have calculated something, looking at the website no matter how many people goes to that website it doesn't look like it would ever worth 400 million dollars. You have to understand how much 400 million dollar actually is and I can't even wrap my head around on how much 400 million dollars is.

You can do so much with it and they ended up buying a coin ranking website with it. Hopefully this is a door that opens to bigger things for them but if it is not this is probably one of the worst acquisitions I have ever seen and I think they will regret it in the future if it doesn't work out for them.

I'm really impressed with the updates and how coinmarketcap is being improved, indeed cz is a huge force in this market and he provide the best of all the services he renders. Checking through coinmarketcap, i discovered that the records are real-time and can be said to be 90% which is far more than how it use to be before the acquisition. I can't wait for cz to perfect coinmarketcap completely

That should be that way exchanges and coins should be ranked based on their liquidity and there should be no fake volume, so many exchanges are doing that, still, investors love to see their coin being pump it's an industry practice that I don't think it will go away soon just like that.

that's indeed but the big question was why some people are still talking the credibility that owned by binance right now? In fact if even CMC has already bought by binance and it was even fixing all of the fake data that has already published before.

CZ will play a very important role in the change of Coinmarketcap, and there will certainly be many ways to make Binance the number one exchange in this market. Currently, the trading volume at CMC is virtual, and that makes it very difficult for investors to know which is a good exchange. Hopefully, in the next few years, CZ will be the manager of CMC because if he can control CMC, the market will surely become better.
