It is clear that CoinMarketCap lists crypto's in descending order based on market cap. But could anyone tell me why after the first 200 listed (at this time #200's market cap is about 239 Million), #201 through about #215 MC's are back in the Billions? In fact the MC of #201 through about #280 are above the MC of #200.
Coinmarketcap as is customary has spent signigicant time developing an exhaustive algorithmic solution to the issue after extensive research and data analysis the determined that market liquidity and the number of exchange traders were the two most important factors in overall volume the volume of an individual driven crypto trading market suffers without many traders and liquid markets. The project must have a market cap that has been confirmed by CMC and fall within the boundaries of the top 201 and above the project's market cap must be at least as much as the CMC estimates it to be. Cryptocurrencies that do not have a CMC verified market cap and do not have a ranking based on 24 hour trading volume.
