Inclusion is not a recommendation. Scores are transparent fact weightings, not rankings. See Methodology. This directory covers the 12 most-traded platforms - for the complete market overview of ~200 exchanges, see CoinMarketCap's exchange rankings(exchange-reported volume - treat with the volume-quality caveats we apply here).
