TL;DR: Welcome to In Case You Missed It (ICYMI), a daily crypto news update. CoinMarketCap debuts liquidity metric. China’s digital currency will offer anonymity features.

CoinMarketCap Debuts Liquidity Metric

CoinMarketCap, an important cryptocurrency price site, launched a new setting seeking to better reflect the real trading volumes of exchanges. The feature, called Liquidity, will calculate real numbers and exclude orders and trades suspected to be used to inflate volumes. The difference is notorious: the typical CoinMarketCap index without excluding wash trading gave Coinbene the first spot with $1.2 billion traded on Nov. 10, while the corrected one gave the first spot to Binance, … with half of the trading volume.

China’s Digital Currency Will Offer Anonymity Features

Digital Currency Electronic Payment, the official digital currency China’s central bank, won’t be used to control and monitor people’s information, according to Mu Changchun, head of the People’s Bank of China’s digital currency research institute. “We know the demand from the general public is to keep anonymity by using paper money and coins … we will give those people who demand it anonymity in their transactions,” he declared.” We are not seeking full control of the information of the general public.”

There are three trading pairs available: TRX/Bitcoin, TRX/Tether and TRX/USD Coin.
