Community base, trading volume, circulation and some factors decides the worth of project get listed on coinmarketcap.
Please check their site and read the terms before you apply for listing.
I am sure you will get messages stating they can list for you. Please don't believe such replies. Try to reach the real team alone.
What Real Team?? The Guys are Real Scammers. Our Squirrex exchange is a state of art for ERC20 and TRC10 tokens as well as ETH and BTC.
After many e-mails they ask to complete a big form with the new meets to list our exchange. Our developer Team spend more that 100 hours to complete all the CMC meets to list the exchange. After that, they send an email that sais.....thank you but we are not sure if we decide to list your exchange and that their developer team (that never send an information or email or just a simple YES or NOT) will check again my request. This is unfair competition for an exchange that pay salaries, servers, security etc....after almost a Year of trying to list our exchange our company has more than 500,000 damage because of CMC. Our Legal department will issue the CMC for this unfair competition.
Are you serious? This is the rights of the owner of CMC if they dont like to list your exchange IMO. And not only you having a problem listing in them there are many other exchange also .
There must be a reason for it or your exchange is not yet qualified to list.
I agree, it seems that they have lot of work to do. I apologize for my previus comment.
They had an updated criteria on how an exchange would be able to be listed on Coinmarketcap:
