About CoinMarketCap

This platform is just five years old and celebrated its fifth anniversary in May. They released a mobile application by redesigning its logo.

In January 2017, the website eliminated all South Korean exchanges from its listings. As a result, there was a massive selloff period where user misunderstood the situation as a crash.

In July 2018, CoinMarketCap pulled off the lower limit of $50,000 trading volume per day. However, there were many more moves that the platform has taken to analyze and incorporate the better decisions.
