CMC and coingecko

[nasipadang]

CMC and coingecko both very useful for us, i used to use both however i am confused why many coins and tokens not listing in CMC but listing in coingecko, not only coins and tokens but also many exchanges, is this because coingecko become more popular than CMC, or for something else.

Both of them are platforms that have the same use, it's just that for coin gecko added with an ICO / IEO review. So Coingecko also adds token data on its site, even junk tokens also exist. In short coingecko is the full version if you want to find a list of token information.

If you are using these things only for reference purposes then you will be fine. I am seeing some people are going to invest blindly on top 20 or 50 coins of coinmarketcap but I am sure that they are the ones who not aware of manipulated listing on coinmarketcap. Also, coinmarketcap was accused for manipulated exchange volumes.

indeed such cases have occurred and are likely to continue to recur, but they are always quickly overcome by dev cmc to neutralize trust again. CMC has very high traffic and a simple layout, so it's not too heavy to access.

Coingecko, cryptocompare etc., offer something more complete, especially new coins, but websites tend to require heavy loading. I once checked Coingecko to look for new altcoins, the information provided was complete, but it was often too late for updates and a lot of information had expired, including coins being removed from the market.

CMC remains the most popular crypto price tracking website. The reason coingecko happens to have more coins, tokens and exchange when compared to CMC is because of the criteria needed to get listed on CMC. For example, CMC requires a project to be listed on more than one exchange with real liquidity before being considered for listing. Coingecko, has taken off those unnecessary bottlenecks thereby making it easier for projects to get listed on coingecko. Both CMC and coingecko are very reliable when tracking price of  coins and tokens. For me both are of same calibre.

For coin tracking i give CMC 100/100 mark, but the absence of new coins make me use others like coingecko or cryptocompare, CMC also have the best interface, no webiste heavy loading and they keep adding and updating info everytime

[upyem2k]

I believe the reason for this is because the two bodies (Coin gecko and Coin Market Cap) have different teams with different priorities. What qualifies a coin or exchange to be list on coin gé kò May mean nothing to CMC.

Both are useful tools but CMC is more popular than Coingecko! Coingecko has something unique features like Exchange trust score, ICO review and many more but CMC only has token price chart, trading view and exchange rankings which also have in Coingecko! But CMC has some strong rules to get listed there where any coin/token project easily can get listed in Coingecko, that's why it has more coins listed than CMC! To me, this lot of token listing is a drawback in Coingecko!

Personally i get a lot thing in Coingecko. Coingecko also warning us if any exchanges has a bad reputation. Really helpful for more be careful. I noticed this after they warning us about bitebtc exchange.

because coingecko has a lower standard than coinmarketcap. in Coinmarketcap new tokens/coins will not be directly listed even though they have been traded because each coin/token must meet several requirements to be able to listed there. so don't be surprised if a lot of coins or exchanges aren't listed on coinmarketcap.

These two websites really helped me to see the price of coins in realtime. without both I might always open exchanges just to see prices. and you're right coingecko has lower standards compared to CMC, but that does not mean coingecko is bad.

CMC is always rated better than Coingecko. However, Coingecko has listed a lot of coins and has more details than CMC. Although CMC is more popular than Coingecko, besides displaying details about currencies, trading platforms, it also evaluates ICO and IEO projects.

[DaveWave]

I like both but I am more used to CMC. CMC is becoming strict on listing coins nowadays. They require developers to provide more information and a minimum traded volume. CMC is feeling the never ending launching of coins where many of them are unnecessary, the reason they implemented the new standard in listing new coins and exchanges.

Coingecko is getting more popular but I think CMC is still the more popular. I do not know how both sites can generate big profit but at present CMC is already an official sponsor of Beitar Jerusalem Football Club in the Israeli major league. Here is a picture as a proof.

Obviously it is better for CMC than Coingecko, because CMC is more available than Coingecko, and crypto players who have for a long time certainly visited CMC more than Coingecko, including me too.

Coingecko may have an open function for various projects that can be registered free of charge there, this can provide good information about new projects. Coinmarketcap has their own conditions for those who want to be registered on their platform, this is a benchmark for a good project.

You said that it has a lower standard but the fact says that if coingecko has better information compared with CMC without any manipulation. You must do a lot of research before you are wanna say anything about that. Make your own comparison and get your conclusion and i believe coingecko is a more reliable site compared with CMC. Just because CMC is the first marketcap site and that has made CMC become popular among the crypto users.

To my knowledge, if a token and coin are attached to a coin market, the owner of the coin must pay the coin market to be registered and must have at least two exchanges for the coin.

If that is clear friends, because what you say is a minimum requirement that must be met by the project or token in order to be registered
in CMC and Coingecko.

CMC is rather strict in their listing therefore there are plenty of projects that were not listed there compare to coingecko as coingecko is not that strict in requirements.

CMC is more popular compare to coingecko but coingecko is doing their best also to serve the customers and the audience. What I would like to see in the future is that, I am hoping that coingecko will become more strict in their requirements also, so the shit projects cannot market their projects easily and only the genuine projects will remain.

[FiuMr697]

Its not so clear about coingecko methodology to listing coins...
for example our coin is listed at Stellar Term which is classified at coingecko excahnge lists and they not adding us to the list....

This is true, Coingecko provides you more information about cryptocurrencies and also on Coingecko you will find also more coins, that are not listed on Coinmarketcap.
But, I am used to use Coinmarketcap website, like most people here and that is why I use Coinmarketcap more often (everyday)  .

I am not very familiar with Coingecko but in the other hand, Coinmarketcap started here in bitcointalk with a thread. During its start I remember them receiving many advertisements from investment scams. They finally left bitcointalk when  they are receiving negative trusts but that time they were already very popular in the whole crypto space. At present I don't see scam advertisements anymore. Coinmarketcap is becoming big and rich and they are also careful with its reputation.

There are many coin and exchanges being listed on coigecko than coinmarketcap (CMC) simple reason is because its easier for coin to meet the requirements of listing on coingecko than on coinmarketcap (CMC). The requirement for listing a coin  on Coinmarketcap (CMC) involves that the coin is being traded on Atleast two crypto exchanges which are also on Coinmarketcap and for a coin to be on CMC it has to meet a minimum daily  trading volume.  So coin getting listed on coingecko rather than on CMC its because od their inability to meet up with CMC strict requirements
