Additionally, it enlists Binance at the top with a 1,000 score followed by BitMEX and Coinbase Pro.

Moreover, the post further stated that CMC is planning to keep working on changes to its scoring pattern.  The site revealed that CMC is planning to simplify the metrics for its new users who seek quick information.

The platform also described a brief update to its liquidity scoring system and a unified page for exchange rankings.

Over 95% of rankings are fake

CMC hasn’t changed its stand on using web traffic, it has removed an indicator which it created in 2019. The latter was designed to provide accurate data and clear off wash trading.

Though, getting ranked on top of exchange comparison sites are important for the market value of the exchanges. However, a report exposed that up to 95% of exchange volumes are false as they use wash trading to expand their volumes and get the top ranking.

Theoretically, top ranking is important for the exchanges as it increases exposure for the brand. This makes the exchanges to appear as the most popular exchange and thus attracting new customers.
