If An Altcoin is Not Listed on Coinmarketcap - Will it Never be?

[Mia Chloe]

CoinMarketCap has certain criteria that needs to be met before listing a cryptocurrency.
These criteria are things like market capitalization, liquidity, trading volume, community support and compliance with regulatory requirements by the government. Crypto currencies that meet all these requirements are mostly the ones listed.
However, not being listed on CoinMarketCap doesn't mean the end for a cryptocurrency. It can still be traded on other exchanges and continue to grow its community and adoption. Some cryptocurrencies can even choose not to list on CoinMarketCap, instead they can opt in for decentralized exchanges or other platforms instead.

If An Altcoin is Not Listed on Coinmarketcap - Will it Never be?

As much as I have been told not to waste my time with meme coins, or stay away from certain altcoins, but its really hard to absolutely ignore them, especially when one meme coin hits the market every day.

Now I also know that whatever is listed on Coinmarketcap is the real deal... so if I am researching a coin and it is not listed there, are there any chances of it ever being listed... or should I just let it go?

What do you all have to say?

The logic there is simple: if you don't have CMC, Coingecko, Geckoterminal, Dexscreener, and Crypto.com, don't invest just for the safety of your fund. It's different if the crypto you want to buy is listed on the platforms I mentioned.

I think it's really an advantage when I'm listed in those; I'm just like that, and when I see that it's listed, the daily volume is good, and the market cap is high, I won't hesitate to invest, even though I'm willing to take a risk too.

But one of the members earlier has mentioned that a project can be listed on CoinGecko as well and yet not guarantee its performance. It is just that the team pays to be listed.

Coinmarketcap is owned by Binance and due to this I wouldn't touch this site even with a mile long stick.

There should be a decentralized alternative.

All of projects would really be trying out to get listed on CMC or CG on which we know that these platforms or sites does have their criterias before listing a particular coin/token
on which it would really be mostly talking or speaking about on a specific volume on a certain coin. I dont know if there would really be some listing fee to be given but i do assume that its
really that something to be that standard on about fees and other similar aspect. On the moment that you do ask about getting listed then you could really be able to assume that its a
good one because they do hit up a particular criteria but in speaking about success and profitability then it would really be always that remain a question.

Never ever make yourself that believe that you could really be able to make some assurance that you are dealing with the right project since its gets listed on Coinmarketcap.
Always bare in mind that these things arent that a solid indication that the projects you've been dealing are really that having the potential. Almost gets listed into this place
as long it do hit the criteria or able to comply then pretty sure you would see those names but just like been said that it wont really be that giving out assurance in terms of success
and profitability.

I understand your point of view, yes listing a coin on CoinMarket gives it some credibility but at the same time it can be a trap if a scam coin is listed and people who trust CoinMarket will think it is a good coin.

I am also not saying that we should pick a random contract and trade on a decentralized platform without any research, that is a big mistake, what I am saying is that we should do our own research and verify the coin even if it is listed on CoinMarket and not just trust it just because it is listed there.

Well there is not alot of new alt coin I am going to be buying now. But if I do see a project that does interest me then yes i will check coinmarketcap.

If this coin is not listed on there, I am not going to invest in it. There is so many other coins we can see listed we dont need to invest in a project that can be a 'rug pull' or some scam project.

CMC is a good point to start your research about any coin but it should not be the only point to consider while you are making your mind on investing in a coin. Not all the coins listed on CMC are worthy for investment as there any scores of coins on CMC with unknown market cap and 24 hour volume.
But if a coin is not found on any sites which you have mentioned (i.e. CMC, Coingecko, Geckoterminal, Dexscreener, and Crypto.com) then it's better to not invest energies in researching that coin. Top 20 or 30 alts on CMC are considered safe for investment. DYOR.

This! This thought should be in a frame there. Research is key whether you use this or another listing platform.

Op, those people told you what you need to know as a newbie, but since you are finding it hard to take their advice, when you learn it the hard way, you will remember what you have been told about meme coins and altcoins.

You're wrong; what's listed on CoinMarketCap is not 100% safe, and if you grow with this perspective, you will easily lose your money. Coinmarketcap is just a platform where different cryptocurrencies are listed so that their holders can easily see the information about their tokens. Any coin or token can be listed on Coinmarketcap if it meets the criteria for being listed there. Always DYOR to be informed to avoid unexpected losses.

Totally! It's essential to judge the project itself first, then the platforms and the exchanges it's listed on.

[bitLeap]

There are many altcoins listed on CMC but it does not guarantee that they are completely safe. Coin Market Cap only provides a place and does not provide a 100% guarantee that every alt that passes to be listed there is verified. At any time a crypto project can commit fraud.

I think at any time altcoins can register to be on CMC as long as the requirements are met. But for altcoins that are not yet registered does not mean 100% fraudulent projects, what I mean now is that most altcoins prioritize being registered on centralized exchanges rather than being on CMC, keep in mind that in researching altcoins everyone has their own standards for categorizing whether or not they are worth investing in. The point is you have to be independent to research starting from social media details, smart contracts, other official channels that can indeed be found easily.

DWYOR or DYOR must always be present at the investment stage, investors are not toddlers who must always be given good or best direction for them, after all, no one says that a project listed on Coinmarketcap is a good project, there are lots of projects that don't even have any development anymore. Coinmarketcap itself also has a disclaimer page which states that they only provide as accurate information as they can, all investment decisions are up to you.

Its part of every developers to list their platform on at least one market aggregator, its totally a waste of money and time if they failed to list their token, its every developers task and obligation to their investors to see their coin land on market aggregators.

Now I also know that whatever is listed on Coinmarketcap is the real deal... so if I am researching a coin and it is not listed there, are there any chances of it ever being listed... or should I just let it go?

What do you all have to say?

A market aggregator is just a market aggregator; what can make a coin or token into a real deal is their usage and platform, Even a project with no use case can be listed in the market, but it will not prove that they are worth investing in.
usage, platform and dedication of the developers are what defines a project and not just getting listed on market aggregator.

There is nothing to worry about whether a coin is listed in the coinmarketcap or not but if all those coins are listed or listed on a good exchange then you don't need to stress you can go ahead with all those coins without hesitation. If initially the coins are not listed in coinmarketcap and are listed on good exchanges then surely coinmarketcap will list them later. If any coin is in a good position and has a good future, then their listing is completed or confirmed only by applying to the coinmarketcap. Not all meme coins are risky to proceed with but there are some meme coins that have given people a lot of profit.

However, not being listed on CoinMarketCap doesn't mean the end for a cryptocurrency. It can still be traded on other exchanges and continue to grow its community and adoption. Some cryptocurrencies can even choose not to list on CoinMarketCap, instead they can opt in for decentralized exchanges or other platforms instead.

First let us check what Coinmarketcap is and what's its role in the industry,

CoinMarketCap is the world's most-referenced price-tracking website for cryptoassets in the rapidly growing cryptocurrency space. Its mission is to make crypto discoverable and efficient globally by empowering retail users with unbiased, high quality and accurate information for drawing their own informed conclusions.

The coin is losing a lot if they fail to list their coin or token on Coinmarketcap. Its volume will be untraceable even with the history of the price of the coin /token; so many coins and tokens gained a lot of supporters and investors because Coinkmarketcap tracked and traced their volume and popularity in the market.

It's hard for a coin/token to gain potential investors if investors do not know how it performs in the market across all exchanges; they will have to check every exchange manually.

[KiaKia]

As a huge altcoin investor, I've seen where by some new projects got listed coingecko first and it took them months or even over a year to finally get listed on coinmarketcap, if I have to judge or advice any new projects coming out right now I would say that they should list on all coin trackers available, because fans most times prefer coinmarkcap over coingecko and very few people use both, you as a developer must crave for attention and support of the community, so listing on amt coin tracker available is the beet way to bring in new investors.

Sometimes for me, it seems to be the case that meme coins and some altcoins hog the limelight due to their volatility and possible quick profits and I even saw this in a lot of community and sites. Most of it also comes with a high risk and is mostly overlooked. I really like to point out that if a coin that is not listed on CoinMarketCap, it doesn't imply it's not worthless, only not very stable or healthy. Having a CoinMarketCap usually tells you that you're legit and competent, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can succeed in the long term, I got that some too in my portfolio but always be wary of investing in an anonymous fund. You need to consider the values, policy, and objective of the fund. It is always wise to exercise extra caution and focus more on funds with proven value and performance.

I would suggest you not to run for coins like this. These are not listed in coinmarketcap, which means that they have not fulfilled the criteria for listing. If they haven’t, then there might be some shady things involved. Yes, these types of coins can give good profits if bought early, but these coins also come with huge risks of turning into scams. Hence, if you love your hard-earned money, then it’s better to choose coins with good and big people supporting it.

And that is why he is here asking if it's possible for these coins to get listed on coinmarketcap but after reading a comment like yours, I think he will not proceed anymore on investing on them.

In my opinion, it is still not right to use it as a basis when judging if which coin we must invest in, I mean there are still scam coins and coins that are a failure despite them being listed in CMC. Maybe rumours are right that CMC have now became corrupt and their main requirements now are their huge listing fees. There might be trustworthy projects that are only lacking in budget at the moment in order to get listed in CMC. This is what I'm talking about earlier, that we shouldn't judge easily.

[Cryptoababe]

Anything can be listed on CoinMarketCap. Even scam coins can be listed there. Just because a coin is listed on CoinMarketCap doesn't mean it's good. Many scam projects wait until they're listed on CoinMarketCap before they rug pull. That's why you should be careful with new meme coins that are listed on CoinMarketCap.
