How does CMC Pulse work?

CMC Data Warehouse

CoinMarketCap has the longest running, largest and most thorough data warehouse in the cryptocurrency sector. We track over 25 million coins and tokens, plus thousands of NFT collections across more than 100 blockchains and hundreds of CEXs and DEXs. We also track ETFs and futures to provide crypto price data from different perspectives.

CMC also operates several indexes and industry leading data points. For example, our founder launched the first tracking for Bitcoin Dominance, we launched the first crypto Fear and Greed Index, Altcoin Season Index and also the CoinMarketCap 20 Index DTF.

CMC AI Scan Crawler

We continuously scan hundreds of potential news sources - from mainstream financial and news media, to specialist publications about legislation, to leading social media commentators and many Telegram channels. We also operate our own social media platform, Community, for discussions about crypto topics and projects. When combined with our incredible data, this helps us to identify emerging narratives and flag the most important topics that are shaping crypto markets.

Humans Select The Stories

CMC’s editorial staff all have deep subject matter expertise across cryptocurrency, finance and technology. Their expertise is vital in deciding which stories to select.

AI Drafts Fast

CoinMarketCap’s team has developed a proprietary process that analyses data, market signals and context to make a first draft of each potential story.

CMC AI Quality Check

CMC’s AI performs a thorough quality check of any data or facts mentioned, then proceeds to review spelling, grammar and content consistency.

Human Final Review

Our team of human editors perform a final review, approving content for publication or rejecting drafts that fail to meet our accuracy, relevance or editorial quality standards. CMC’s editorial staff all have deep subject matter expertise across cryptocurrency, finance and technology.

Translated For Your Ease

We realise that the world of crypto is very much written in English. We also realise that not everyone interested in crypto is a fluent speaker of English. To bridge this gap, CMC has been providing translations of our important pages since 2020. Our translation abilities have developed considerably during this time.

We thoroughly tested and deployed AI powered translation options in 2023. Since then, the translation capabilities of AI have increased significantly, which is why CMC is now able to push AI translated content live seconds after the English language version went live. CoinMarketCap is currently available in 30 languages and we are proud to publish high quality news content in all 30 languages in real-time.

Translation Review

Local language experts review translated content, verify story accuracy and key facts, and localize language, tone, and context for regional audiences.

CMC AI + HEART Framework

CMC AI monitors user feedback using the HEART framework, measuring Happiness, Engagement, Adoption, Retention, and Task Success to continuously improve content relevance and quality.
