Similar to CoinGecko. Key difference: CoinMarketCap leans toward tokens with Binance listings; CoinGecko is more neutral. Use both; cross-reference when numbers disagree (they occasionally do).
CoinMarketCap
The original crypto price aggregator. Now Binance-owned, which affects token listing priorities.
Founded 2013, acquired by Binance in 2020. Tracks 10,000+ tokens across 500+ exchanges. Popular for the 'markets' tab showing exchange pairs.
Pros
- Longest track record
- Binance ecosystem integration
- Large user base
Cons
- Binance-owned = potential conflict of interest
- Fewer tokens than CoinGecko
- UI cluttered with ads
