Topic: If An Altcoin is Not Listed on Coinmarketcap - Will it Never be? (Read 720 times)

CMC only lists projects that have been registered on their site. I don't know if CMC will do an analysis first or not. But you are right that projects that have been listed on CMC can also be useless projects like LUNA. When LUNA crashed which made its price drop by 99% but you can see that Luna Classic is still listed on CMC. At least CMC can help you avoid scam projects. But some projects can be unlisted from the exchange or CMC.

CMC or Coingecko aren't the only aggregator sites. In fact, there are several those which are better than the earlier mentioned two. I know this will be debatable but that's a fact. We've Cryptorank and Dexscreener just to mention those two. It's just that CMC and CG were the foremost ones and crypto enthusiasts quickly suck up to them. What most people don't know is that there's no guarantee that tokens listed on these sites will do well later. Crypto is an industry of risk, very high one. There's no certainty what can happen with cryptos as everything is purely speculative and that's why the caveat, "Only invest what you can afford to lose" exists here.

Every project, with utility or not, holds some risks on it nevertheless, you are totally right. Weight your odds, analyze what you can, and only then take action.

Come to think that meme coins could really be that easily get listed on CMC specially if they do have that volume or would be able to hit up those checkmarks in speaking about the requirement then it would really be just that too easy on getting listed but we cant really be able to deny that this is really that mostly what makes people do get interested on the moment that they would really be getting listed into these index site which includes coingecko as well. They do have those requirement before gets listed and just like been said that getting listed doesnt mean that it would really be that a sure legit project. This is why you should really be that careful on what are the projects that you are really that investing with specially with meme coins. People do really make out some resrarch on the moment that they had already screwed up.

The thing that you should really be needing to consider always is on investing on the amount on which you can afford to lose whenever you do make out investment decisions specially on meme coins
or even with those projects which does have some good utility or overall when it comes to potential. So it would really be just that important when you do realyl have these
kind of considerations when making up some choices in regarding about investment.

Totally right. It would be a big hit to the credibility of the big guys listing something that would vanish soon, so the chances of that while listing on them taking place is a lot less, usually But still not 100%.

Not necessarily. Any project can be listed there. Maybe you are thinking about getting listed in exchanges. Getting listed on exchanges means significantly more than being on coinmarketcap. Even though it does not necessarily guarantee success, it is a lot more reliable sign that a project is legitimate and reliable
There still are chances. It could be possible you just caught the project a little too early. If isn’t listed on coinmarketcap it might be difficult to assess its value though.

Even though new coins have been registered on the Coinmarketcap platform, in fact, to collect data on a large number of coins, by knowing the details to find out which coins have potential, in this case it is necessary to know comprehensive information regarding the selected coin.

Not that things are not listed forever but indeed there may be several reasons so that it might indeed be an obstacle such as not having requirements that are indeed feasible to be in CMC or another possibility is that it does not want to be registered there because the purpose of making the project is just looking for prey to become a profit target.

But it would indeed be more worth it not to approach a coin like this because regardless of the reason I think it will never be a good thing if it is forced to be in a situation or research something that is not too certain like that.

Although in the end this does depend on belief but for shitcoins that do not fall into the eligibility category then why do we force researching it because in the end it is just a waste of time.

A coin meeting the coin market cap requirement does not mean they are legit coins. I have seen lots of dead coins on the coin market cap, so meeting their requirements doesn’t make them relevant. When doing research about a coin to invest in, there are other things that are supposed to be considered.
 
I don’t really recommend people invest in new projects because the risk is just always too high. It’s better to invest in bitcoin or get strong altcoins and invest in them rather than investing in meme coins and shitcoins because the chances of making money are just kind of low and the risk of losing is high.

You shouldn't take CMC listed coins as legit though, they also go bust.


Depends on project, it's usually bare minimum responsibility of project to get their coin to CMC.


CMC listing shouldn't be deciding factor in judging quality of project, there isn't much in getting there really.

I feel like if you could get listed at a big place, then you will be listed at CMC already, you are not going to get listed at a good decent exchange without being listed at CMC, it's so much easier to get listed there first.

I know that the idea seems like a good one, and it's true if you could get listed at some place like gate for example then you are going to be fine, but the reality is that we are not going to see any project that sucks so bad that they can't even get listed at CMC but good enough that it has volume potential enough to get listed at an exchange. This is why I think it will not happen, plus if they had any money to pay the exchange, they would have enough money to get listed at CMC at the same time as well.

The thread is turning out to be complicated day by day ... i get a few posts telling me to prioritize the Cmc list just like you have mentioned that most of the coins there are legit... whereas many are saying that its easier to make way to the list... What should one believe in 

Any advice on what has been lucky for you?

the two always have their own advantages and disadvantages, it really shows when there are suddenly certain meme coin that surged and reached hundred millions market cap, sometime the data is not available in coinmarketcap or in coingecko, so in my opinion a coin that is not listed in coinmarketcap isn't necessarily a bad coin, maybe they are just on the process of review though I know for a fact that coinmarketcap review aren't that strict.

if any, i will care more about listing in the exchange, since they are like the gate to bigger capital inflow which could help raise value of a coin, since all that matter is a price increase right? so exchange is the key.
if a coin just listed in some random low quality exchange, then they're done for. bigger exchange won't list them to save themselves from their reputation being stained.

There are some good alts that are not on cmc but on cg

I don't get why it is so hard to ignore memecoins? I have been doing it for 10 years now, started with Doge, and been ignoring it when they got this famous as well. Since 2021 and Elon Musk tweeted about Doge, everyone and their grandmother is building a new meme, which shows that it is not a good project to invest into because all those people are just interested in your money and not interested in making you any money at all. Why would it be so hard to ignore them?

I mean I haven't put a single dime into any of them, and didn't had any hard time about it, I just simply do not check any memecoin, as soon as I see one, I just move on and not even take a look, I ignore it that way. Do that, ignore it, it is not hard.

It all depends on the project in question. In fact, there are a lot of meme coins on CMC right now. However, for early development, it is very normal for a coin not to be listed on CMC. However, if the project has been around for a long time, then it is questionable. Because, many projects have even released their coins on CMC before they are listed on any market.

You're putting way too much importance in listings. It's not that important, nor does it have/need to be a metric you'd use for the importance of a coin. Listing coins usually just takes time since whatever requirements they need usually just needs that, time, so it's easy for most projects to actually accommodate these requirements.

Still, if they're not on coinmarket yet, wait for a bit. Or check their road map, they may have some other schedule for it or are waiting for the product to actually be presentable to users.

There used to be those days when projects have to struggle to get listed on Coin market cap. In fact it used to be a bullish news for projects back then but things are now easier for projects. I think they just apply with some requirements and then they see it after some days. There are some projects that are even listed on market cap already without trading volume, so I'm not sure if this is really helpful tip to avoid a bad project.

Some projects lowkey back then don't get on coin market cap and Coingecko and if you have the luck to buy before listing, it will be in demand as people do look into this platform to buy their new coins but as I said, all these are things of the past, not longer way to justify good or bad projects.

not all coins listed on CMC are good coins, many coins listed on CMC end up in scams, because again CMC is a coin listing platform, so users only need to pay to list their coins there. and if the coin you invest in is not listed there, then at any time your coin can be listed there if the team of the coin pays and lets CMC verify their coin, and it shouldn't be a complicated process.
