Listing an Exchange on Coinmarketcap

[epiphanyblockchain]

Hello world,
So I've been trying to list an exchange in CMC. They actually manage the whole thing almost like a state secret.
The selection criteria is not clearly stated and they do not give any feedback on why the exchange was or wasn't accepted.
Of course it's important to have the basics like a fully functional product, clear rates and fees, customer support, and other customer client channels like a Telegram helpdesk group, Twitter for public announcements, etc.
But does anyone know which are the critical factors?
Or have some advice on how to get it approved?

IMHO they are looking on trading volumes and rare tokens that you trade. As I remember coin will add on CMC after 50000 USD day trading volume.

As far as i know that should be the main requirement to get listed on CMC but there was another requirement just like CMC will ask you about your social information related to your platform just like the social media fanpage, etc.

If the trading volume of the exchange is too low, the listing on coin market cap might not be scale through. They also check how actively the project is through the interactions of the community and team, and social media platforms too.

Trading volume is the most important factor. This factor is also very important when you would like to list a coin on coinmarketcap.
Dead coins, exchanges will not be listed here  .

we do not know any more than you do my friend! so unless any of the exchange owners come to this forum and see your topic and then happen to have also manually added their exchange to CMC, there is no way anybody can answer you without making guesses.

all you can do is to contact CMC via their contact page and ask them directly. but i suppose if  your site is new, has little volume and little number of users then you shouldn't bother with it.

You missed the trading volume as others already pointed out. I believe it weighs the heaviest among other important criteria.

Thought so too. Volume attracts not just traders. If your exchange has huge volume, I bet they'd just list it for free. There are some sites like coingecko that will probably list it, there is also coincap.io. You can try it first on these small listing and crypto wiki sites because that could promote your exchange too. I could list your exchange to some other else listing, PM me.

You are the owner of that exchange?

If you want to get approval on CMC you need to fill a form and wait for their reply it might take long time and also you need to meet the criteria for getting approved.

You did not mention the name of the exchange it's an additional promotion here and so we can look at what's lacking in your exchange to help you get listed but there are requirements, of course, glad they did, one of this is volume, this is the reason why some exchange are faking their volume.

To be listed on the coinmarketcap need to have a demand on the exchanges and trading volumes were more than $ 100 000. I can't say I'm right, but that's all I heard. Projects do not pay for the placement of information all depends on the demand for a coin or token.

I'm afraid he'll get no answer because as stated, there were no feedbacks. But yeah, I think he just have to wait some time to make his exchange popular and increase the trading volume.

I also did not really know, yesterday I asked my friend he said if you want to enter the CMC do not need to pay only if the coin you have registered at the 2 exchange they will issue your coin on their site, because he knows someone who has a project in 2018 and all I know is that is the condition, your coins only need a minimum list of 2 exchanges.

As far from I know, for listing an exchange on Coinmarketcap you have to meet the following basic criteria:

• You have to publish an API that exposes the last price and 24h volume of each coin/token.
• At least has been operated in sixty (60) days.
• You have to provide a representative from the exchange to communicate for any clarifications with CMC.

Besides evaluating the basic criteria when deciding to add a new exchange listing CMC also evaluating several other factors such as Community Interest, Trading Volume, Uniqueness, and Age of The Project.

So far I have worked with 2 exchanges, promoting for them, pitching for them and acquiring users for them.
And from my limited experience, I can say, listing on CMC is not that hard for an exchange. You just have to pick the right coins to support, attract those communities and that would easily give you the volume you need.
Of course, there is a basic requirement that you must meet and a fee that you may pay if opting to get listed manually (as opposed to them adding you) but none of these factors are beyond the scope of negotiations. In this industry, you'll go a long way if you have the right connections.

A good negotiator would close deals more efficiently for any business. That fact is compounded in crypto industry because of the sheer competition.

As far as I know, it has to be traded in 2 exchanges which is listed on coinmarketcap and should more than $100k volume.
There are other choices like coinlib. Why do not you try them? I heard that the coinmarketcap is a bit exhausting.

Thanks to all your answers.
So yes, I missed to mention the trading volume. Which I know is very important and actually our daily trading volume goes around 10 to 30 Million USD.

PRDAE Exchange info:

• Our exchange website is https://www.prdae.me/
• You can see the trading volume here https://www.feixiaohao.com/exchange/prdae/

Note: The trading volume tracker is in Chinese, but google chrome will translate it. You need to multiply the displayed number x10,000.

And our channels are:

• Twitter: https://twitter.com/PRDAE_official
• Telegram: https://t.me/prdae_helpdesk

Actually our Telegram and Twitter are quite new. The exchange has been working for over a year now but was focused in Chinese market. We recently opened ourselves to foreign market and that's why Twitter and Telegram are quite new.
It would be great to get your insights about the exchange to keep improving 

It's also worthwhile to mention that we will soon have our first airdrop in partnership with our recently listed coin ECHT (e-Chat)

News about coinmarketcap is still a confusing news, there is no clarity from this platform, some say cmc is a scam for manipulating coins so that they can play around the market because traders rely on this platform.

They removed the exchange volume requirement a while back.

Coingecko is far better than cmc tbh, they have excellent customer support which I adore the most about them.

Well they definitely have great power and play are huge role in the investors minds and decisions. So I'm sure the people who run this platform get all sorts of proposals. It's still a centralized platform.
