EXCHANGE LISTINGS

The more exchanges a project is listed on, the easier it is for investors to buy-in. See below for more details and examples on how this evaluation metric can be used.


  • Specific amounts are found by summing the number of exchanges listed under the "Markets" tab, for each coin.
  • Highest grades awarded to projects listed on the most exchanges- [>200 markets = A+]   [120-200 markets = A]    [50-120 markets = B]   [15-50 markets = C]   [<15 markets = C-]. Note- This scale was re-adjusted in Q4 2020 as there were more exchanges, in general.
  • ​​"NA" denotes projects that were not listed in the top 25 market cap, prior to the quarterly measurement. ​​​
  • More exchanges tend to emerge when there is a bull market (lots of buying) occurring in the crypto markets. 

2020

​The Data:


Q4 2020 Highlights-​​
  • ​This quarter, projects with the most exchange listings was a good predictor of the top 7 market cap coins.
  • There were almost 20% more exchanges that emerged, since last quarter.
  • Most projects increased the number of exchanges they are listed on, by at least 10%, since last quarter. 
  • The only project that didn’t increase the number of exchanges it is listed on was Ethereum Classic.
    • Ethereum Classic also dropped to 37th in market cap. I wonder if it will ever return to the top 25.​

Q3 2020 Highlights-​​
How many exchanges the top 25 coins are listed on. Trading volume report for the top 25 cryptocurrencies. Why this is all important. ​

Q2 2020 Highlights-

  • Biggest gainers were EOS and Tezos.
