I really wonder why they did that, it is pretty stupid, especially since they've changed the algorithm, and now if you sort by volume Binance is on top with double the volume as others so they could have made that default.
One interesting fact is that Coinbase now is second based on the"web" factor.
To be completely honest, I doubt that if we count anything from articles, links, tweets, and traffic anyone could compete with Binance at this point, it's the newbie gateway right now, especially with their no KYC for under 2BTC rule.
Of course, it's biased but I'm still thinking it's better than what we had before, remember how the top10 looked before?
I wonder too, btw want to remind that Coinmarketcap is far more popular among people than Binance (according to Alexa).
The most curious thing that I want to quote Eric Benz is, following:
On the one hand, it might appear to be a one-sided deal, but on the other, it shows just how important crypto market data is
Yes, of course, crypto market data is very important from them but it doesn't directly mean that transparent data is important from them. In any way, it's clear that Binance is going to boost its profit by making this step.
Eh, as time goes I am becoming more and more sure that Bitcoin isn't what it was years ago, it's becoming commercial business.
