Recently My friend applied for CMC listing and he is rejected for the unknown reason, his coin already has above 100k daily volume and his coin follows all listing terms., His coin is a minable coin.
From what I know,CMC under the hood takes some amount of tokens for your coin to be listed on their website ? Is that true ? Did you come across such instances while conversing with them which implicitly meant they need some amount of tokens to get your coins there ?
Maybe you should try asking them that if usual way is not working out.
THE Way they are only listing TOKEN seems that they charge some amount of token, but they earn so high i don't think they need this, RECENTLY they only adding TOKEN, last 100 approved coins have 90-95 Tokens only.
Token and coin are treated in same way.
TOKEN get lot of money in ICO so they easily reach 100k volume, whereas MINABLE COIN stays low because they can't start icos, they can pay bounty to users for promotion, and miner only mine and wait for price rise. so all pressure comes to coin developer and team
I think CMC need to set separate standard fro TOKEN and Coins
BOTH token and coins have a lot of difference.
i don't know why they giving value to Only TOKENS
One possible reason is traffic and userbase behnind TOKEN but if they value quality then they need to set different standard for MINABLE COINS
