Read signals. Build with CMC data.</strong></h2><p>CoinMarketCap gives users and builders tools to follow crypto markets, track holdings, read market signals, explore decentralized trading activity, and build products with CMC data.</p><p>Start with prices and rankings. Add portfolio tracking, alerts, market indicators, DEX discovery, CMC AI, or developer integrations as your workflow demands more context.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore Markets</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/api/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Build With The API</a></strong></blockquote><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/32d03f104e9e4258acae11d1f5972d17.png"><h2 id="strong-track-cryptocurrency-prices-rankings-and-market-activity-strong"><strong>Track Cryptocurrency Prices, Rankings and Market Activity</strong></h2><p>CoinMarketCap users start with a core market view of each asset: price, ranking, market capitalization, trading volume, supply data, and a dedicated asset page.</p><p>Price is only the beginning. From an asset page or market view, users can move into charts, market pairs, exchange context, related market signals, and research surfaces across CoinMarketCap.</p><p>For developers, the same CMC market environment extends into API workflows for applications such as wallets, portfolio trackers, analytics tools, trading systems, AI products, and research workflows.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore Crypto Markets</a></strong></blockquote><h2 id="strong-track-holdings-create-watchlists-and-set-alerts-strong"><strong>Track Holdings, Create Watchlists and Set Alerts</strong></h2><p>Crypto tracking is more useful when it reflects how users actually hold and monitor assets.</p><p>CMC Portfolio lets users track holdings through manual transaction entry, automatically updated on-chain addresses, and supported exchange connections. It is a read-only tool, meaning CoinMarketCap does not hold user funds or enable asset transactions through Portfolio.</p><p>The CoinMarketCap mobile experience also includes portfolio and watchlist features, price alerts, candlestick charts, daily OHLCV data, compare-crypto views, gainers and losers, and crypto news.</p><p>That gives users a clear path from tracking holdings to understanding the broader market.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/portfolio-tracker/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Track Your Portfolio</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/alerts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore Alerts</a></strong></blockquote><h2 id="strong-read-market-conditions-with-cmc-indicators-and-benchmarks-strong"><strong>Read Market Conditions With CMC Indicators and Benchmarks</strong></h2><p>CoinMarketCap provides native indicator and benchmark surfaces for users who need context beyond a single asset chart.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/192e62f5bcdc4b91bd3e1007a3f72fe3.png"><h3 id="strong-cmc-crypto-fear-and-greed-index-strong"><strong>CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index</strong></h3><p>The CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index is a proprietary CoinMarketCap sentiment indicator measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with lower values indicating fear and higher values indicating greed. It combines market momentum, volatility, derivatives market signals, market composition, and CMC proprietary data. The index is available on CoinMarketCap and through CMC API routes.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/fear-and-greed-index/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">View Fear And Greed</a></strong></blockquote><h3 id=""></h3><h3 id="strong-altcoin-season-index-strong"><strong>Altcoin Season Index</strong></h3><p>The CMC Altcoin Season Index compares the rolling 90-day performance of the top 100 eligible CMC-ranked coins with Bitcoin, excluding stablecoins and wrapped or asset-backed tokens. If 75% outperform Bitcoin, it is Altcoin Season; if 25% or fewer outperform Bitcoin, it is Bitcoin Season. The index refreshes daily.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/altcoin-season-index/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">View Altcoin Season</a></strong></blockquote><h3 id=""></h3><h3 id="strong-cmc100-and-cmc20-strong"><strong>CMC100 and CMC20</strong></h3><p>The CoinMarketCap 100 Index, or CMC100, is a market-cap-weighted benchmark for the top 100 qualifying cryptocurrency projects ranked on CMC, excluding stablecoins and tokens pegged to other crypto assets. It rebalances monthly and refreshes every five minutes.</p><p>The CoinMarketCap 20 Index, or CMC20, is a market-cap-weighted benchmark for the top 20 qualifying cryptocurrency projects, with additional exclusions for assets with limited investability. It rebalances monthly and refreshes every second.</p><p>These indexes give users and product teams CMC-native reference points for broad-market and leading-asset performance.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/cmc100/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore CMC100</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/cmc20/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore CMC20</a></strong></blockquote><h2 id=""></h2><h2 id="strong-evaluate-trading-market-context-with-liquidity-and-confidence-strong"><strong>Evaluate Trading-Market Context With Liquidity and Confidence</strong></h2><p>Reported volume is more meaningful when users can examine the market context behind it.</p><p>CoinMarketCap’s market-pair ranking considers reported volume, Liquidity Score, and Web Traffic Factor. Liquidity Score grades markets from 0 to 1,000 to help users compare expected trading slippage. Higher scores generally reflect more liquid markets.</p><p>The Confidence Indicator appears at the market-pair level and reflects CoinMarketCap’s confidence in the accuracy of reported volume. It uses three bands: High, Moderate, and Low.</p><p>A Low Confidence reading is not proof of wash trading. It indicates that reported volume is less consistent with the supporting market signals evaluated by the model.</p><p>Exchange rankings use top spot market-pair rankings and Confidence results, helping users review venue activity with more context than reported volume alone.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://support.coinmarketcap.com/hc/en-us/sections/360008888252-Metric-Methodologies" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Review CMC Methodology</a></strong></blockquote><h2 id=""></h2><h2 id="strong-explore-decentralized-markets-with-dexscan-strong"><strong>Explore Decentralized Markets With DexScan</strong></h2><p>DexScan brings decentralized market discovery into the CoinMarketCap experience.</p><p>Users can explore DEX token activity through surfaces such as Signals, Trending, New, Gainers, Meme Explorer, and Top Traders. The live DexScan experience shows metrics such as liquidity, fully diluted valuation, market age, 24-hour transactions, 24-hour volume, USD price, and price change across available markets.</p><p>For builders, CoinMarketCap DEX data is available through the API for selected token, pair, pool, liquidity, transaction, holder, and K-line workflows.</p><p><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/dexscan/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Open DexScan</a></strong></p><h2 id=""></h2><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/adf577ce0941496a8fa5abbc5fbc159b.png"><h2 id="strong-ask-cmc-ai-and-create-ai-alerts-strong"><strong>Ask CMC AI and Create AI Alerts</strong></h2><p>CMC AI adds AI-assisted context to the CoinMarketCap market experience.</p><p>Users can access Ask CMC AI and asset-level CMC AI pages that surface formats such as latest updates, price analysis, and price prediction content. CMC AI pages clearly state that AI can make mistakes and that the content is not financial advice.</p><p>CoinMarketCap also provides an AI Alerts feature within the CMC AI experience.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/ask/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ask CMC AI</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/alerts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Set Up AI Alerts</a></strong></blockquote><h2 id=""></h2><h2 id="strong-discover-prediction-markets-strong"><strong>Discover Prediction Markets</strong></h2><p>CoinMarketCap Prediction Markets is a data-aggregation and comparison surface for event-driven markets.</p><p>Users can discover prediction markets across categories such as crypto, politics, economics, sports, finance, and technology from within the wider CoinMarketCap environment.</p><p>Prediction Markets is a discovery and comparison feature.

The keyless trial path allows GET requests to a curated subset of CoinMarketCap Pro API endpoints without an API key. It currently includes 19 Standard API endpoints and 17 DEX API endpoints, covering selected workflows such as listings, quotes, global metrics, CMC indicators, DEX token data, pools, holders, and K-line formats.</p><p>The Trial Pro API is intended for prototyping and response-shape evaluation. Trial requests are aggressively rate-limited and the endpoint subset is fixed. Production integrations should move to keyed CoinMarketCap Pro API access.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/api/documentation/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore API Documentation</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/api/documentation/pro-api-reference/trial-pro-api" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Test Trial Pro API</a></strong></blockquote><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/f529e96ffb0f4397ae467f71a9e1aee1.png"><h2 id="strong-connect-cmc-data-to-ai-agents-and-developer-workflows-strong"><strong>Connect CMC Data to AI Agents and Developer Workflows</strong></h2><p>CoinMarketCap gives developers several routes for building AI-native crypto workflows around CMC data.</p><ul><li><strong>CMC MCP</strong> connects compatible AI clients and development environments to CMC tools.</li><li><strong>x402</strong> supports pay-per-request access for supported CMC data routes, currently priced at $0.01 USDC per successful request.</li><li><strong>Skills Marketplace</strong> helps agents route market and research tasks through defined skill pipelines.</li><li><strong>REST API integration</strong> supports products that control their own backend logic, monitoring, and user experience.</li></ul><p>These routes let builders choose the execution model that best fits each workflow while keeping CoinMarketCap at the center of the market-data layer.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/api/agent/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore CMC For Agent</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/api/mcp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Connect With MCP</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/api/skills-marketplace/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore Skills Marketplace</a><br><br><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/api/x402/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Explore x402</a></strong></blockquote><h2 id=""></h2><h2 id="strong-support-listed-projects-with-cmc-max-strong"><strong>Support Listed Projects With CMC Max</strong></h2><p>CMC Max is a paid subscription product for listed projects on CoinMarketCap.
