Coin Market Cap Alternatives

Coinmarketcap is arguably the most prominent coin checking site in today’s crypto sphere. With optimized 24 hours trade volumes, crypto market cap rankings, price charts among other features, coinmarketcap has established itself as a resourceful giant in the crypto industry.

But for all its might, the seemingly over-reliance of crypto traders on a single repository data center that is highly centralized can have its fair share of drawbacks. In 2018, CMC made a rather unpopular 👉 decision to eliminate data from south Korean listings, a move that is still blamed for a price crash that occurred shortly afterward.

To avoid such a scenario, crypto traders are currently looking for alternative coin checking platforms. Luckily for you, we’ve rounded up ten of the best Coinmarketcap alternatives below. Let’s begin.

1. CoinGecko

CoinGeckoFounded by a group of innovative industry experts in 2014, CoinGecko’s primary focus is on increasing transparency in the crypto industry.

Apart from maintaining top spot as the most transparent coin checking platform, CoinGecko offers additional excellent specks such as price tracking experience, strong market capitalization, and trading volumes. On top of this, it also tracks on-chain metrics, community growth, and other significant events in the crypto world.

A calendar indicating active and soon to be launched ICOs are some of the unique features that Coincodex has added on its platform to enable traders to research some key crypto market analytics.

  • Eases the process of tracking stable coins that are either stabilizing and those showing huge price fluctuations.

3. OnchainFX

Apart from all the standard features offered by a standard platform like 24 hours trading volumes and price movements, the OnchainFX approach to crypto data is a notch higher. For instance, the site has integrated tools that enable traders to do a side by side comparison of two assets. Also, you can check your coin’s market future worth capped in 2050. Most recently, OnchainFX introduced a checkbox named Price if Normalized BTC supply. It’s an innovative feature that will allow traders to check on coins with price equal to that of Bitcoin.

Although the amount of information available on the platform can be a bit overwhelming for first-time users, the coin information available on the site will impress any user once they get the hang on.

4. Cryptocampare

Established back in 2014, Cryptocompare pioneered in rather interesting features like live chats and live coin prices. The platform avails analysis from over 65 crypto exchange sites which makes it easier for users to make a quicker choice on the site to trade on. Although the layout might be a little disappointing, many will agree that it’s still relatively easy to use, especially for the not so tech-savvy types.

Confusing layout and a limited number of coins listed are some of the platform’s downsides. However, traders interested in some of the major coins will find the platform useful because of loads of helpful information available on the same.

5. Coinlib

Highly acclaimed for its innovative portfolio and price tracker features, Coinlib’s design is meant to impress users interested in a wide range of digital currencies.

Beginners will find this site much friendly compared to other popular sites in terms of locating coin’s price quickly, trading supply and market cap. Other exciting features are price alerts and live crypto market news.

Coinlib might appear like another crypto site optimized for comparison. Still, a crosser look reveals an interesting comparison feature that enables users to compare up to four assets side by side. On a single chart. It’s available on apps that both iOS and Android users can access. The straightforward design of this platform and its ease of use will impress both experienced and new entrant traders.

6. Coincap

Established in 2015, CoinCap’s approach to providing users with unlimited access to real-time market data is exceptional. Despite its busy looking homepage, the relevant features such as market caps, current prices, available coin supply, among others are entirely unobstructed.

CoinCap allows users to view historical price charts by simply clicking on their favorite coins. But perhaps what will interest users the most the availability of CoinCap API. Though the platform’s user interface is not the most attractive, users will find various unique, optimized features that are invaluable to a crypto trader.

7. Coincheckup

Coincheckup is among the recent platforms to join the coin checking sites industry having launched in 2017. The platform’s primary focus is on increasing transparency to the crypto trade.

Also, ranking on the platform is done using a range of different factors like the product that it’s offering, the team’s strength, the responsiveness of the team to questions, community awareness, and the range of active development.

Additionally, each coin’s algorithm performance is rated out of 5 to increase transparency. Though the heap of data analysis and a vast amount of information may be a quick turn off, traders looking to crypto projects before investing will find the platform rather interesting.

8. Live Coin Watch

Traders who prefer a platform with loads of critical crypto data and an easy to use tracking website with an optimized user interface will definitely find Live Coin Watch a sure hit. Launched in 2017, the platform’s popularity is in the league of much older platforms probably due to its ease of use and a homepage that is both easy on the eye.

Live Coin Watch allows users to trace trade volumes, price movements, market cap, and the supply of the circulating coin for the over 2000 currencies. Users who prefer tracking price movements in assorted fiat currencies will find this platform quite useful. Also, Live Coin Watch allows users to choose the frequency that they would prefer site data to refresh.

9. WorldCoinindex

Worldcoinindex is an excellent price tracking platform that has been gaining popularity with both experienced and upcoming traders due to among other features, its user-friendly crypto prices’ visual presentation. The platform offers real-time price information and a list of about 1,500 cryptos.

With over 7000 crypto markets that users are connected to, the platform offers users a chance to interact with more than 100 crypto exchange sites.

10. Coinpaprika

Coinpaprika is quite new in the coin checking arena but has its sight firmly set on coinmarketcap. Although other existing and upcoming websites are experiencing limited growth due to dwindling traffic as a result of the bear market, coinpaprika has surprisingly maintained a positive growth since its launch.

Compared to other popular platforms, coinpaprika offers additional metrics that are associated with its growing popularity. These metrics include mining calculator and the amount of commits statistics that are meant to help users compare cryptocurrencies.

Working with the U.S. Department of Commerce to publish official economic data on a public blockchain is a powerful signal of where global market infrastructure is headed. When core economic indicators become cryptographically verifiable, composable, and accessible in real time, it opens the door to a more transparent and more efficient financial system for everyone.

Thanks to Roundtable and Jackson Hinkle for hosting a thoughtful conversation on how this came together and what it means for the future of market data.

🚹David Grusch on The Megyn Kelly Show🚹

Earlier this week, UFO/UAP whistleblower David Grusch appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show for a brief but revealing interview. During the conversation, Grusch named individuals he claimed were involved in managing the alleged UFO/UAP Legacy crash retrieval program, statements that immediately drew attention across the disclosure community.

Most notably, Grusch asserted that former Vice President Dick Cheney played a central role in overseeing the program. Cheney’s name has circulated within UFO/UAP research circles for years, but this marks the first time it has been spoken publicly by a former intelligence official who claims direct knowledge of the issue. It is also notable that just weeks ago, journalist Ross Coulthart independently referenced Cheney in a similar context, lending additional weight to the consistency of these claims.

Grusch also named former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, stating that Clapper was not only aware of the crash retrieval issue, but managed it and helped place individuals into key roles, both publicly and behind the scenes. These are serious assertions that warrant scrutiny and further investigation, given their potential implications for disclosure.

Please watch the full interview and consider its significance within the broader context of the disclosure conversation. Please note that the interview concludes with a paid promotional pitch, and Grusch does not provide any additional comments after the pitch.

Stellar CEO Reveals Where Real Opportunity Lies in Crypto Market: Details

In a recent tweet, Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) CEO and Executive Director Denelle Dixon defines what "real opportunity" is in blockchain as a new financial future beckons.

The SDF CEO was reacting to a recent Bloomberg report on Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BNY), Nasdaq, S&P Global and iCapital participation in a new $50 million investment round by Digital Asset Holdings. This comes as some of Wall Street’s biggest names embrace the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies to handle traditional assets.

Reacting to this development, Stellar Foundation CEO Denelle Dixon stated that every blockchain investment is a bet on a different financial future. Dixon added that seeing banks explore blockchain technology validates what has been known over the years.

Real opportunity defined

While Wall Street’s biggest names betting on blockchain might be one of the most significant adoption milestones in the digital asset market, Dixon defines what real opportunity is and what it is not.

According to the SDF executive director, real opportunity is not replicating old systems on new rails but rather building open networks that fundamentally expand global finance participation.

"But the real opportunity isn’t replicating old systems on new rails—it’s building open networks that fundamentally expand who gets to participate in global finance. That’s the opportunity," Dixon tweeted.

At the Meridian 2025 event, Stellar outlined its long-term privacy strategy, committing to investing in critical privacy infrastructure and building foundational cryptographic capabilities.

Stellar eyes privacy upgrade

A new protocol upgrade is on the horizon for the Stellar network: X-Ray, which lays the groundwork for developers to build privacy applications on Stellar using zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography.

The protocol timeline testnet vote is anticipated for Jan. 7, 2026, while the mainnet vote is expected for Jan. 22, 2026.

XDC Network's acquisition of Contour Network

XDC Network's acquisition of Contour Network marks a silent shift to connect the digital trade infrastructure to real-time, tokenized settlement rails.

In a world where cross-border payments still take days and trap trillions in idle liquidity, integrating Contour’s trade workflows with XDC Network Blockchains' ISO 20022 financial messaging standard to bridge TradFi and Web3 in Trade Finance.

The Current State of Cross-Border Trade Settlements

Cross-border payments remain one of the most inefficient parts of global finance. For decades, companies have inter-dependency with banks and their correspondent banks across the world, forcing them to maintain trillions of dollars in pre-funded nostro and vostro balances — the capital that sits idle while transactions crawl across borders.

Traditional settlement is slow, often 1–5 days, and often with ~2-3% in FX and conversion fees. For every hour a corporation can’t access its own cash increases the cost of financing, tightens liquidity that could be used for other purposes, which in turn slows economic activity.

Before SWIFT, payments were fully manual. Intermediary banks maintained ledgers, and reconciliation across multiple institutions limited speed and volume.

SWIFT reshaped global payments by introducing a secure, standardized messaging infrastructure through ISO 20022 - which quickly became the language of money for 11,000+ institutions in 200 countries.

But SWIFT only fixed the messaging — not the movement. Actual value still moves through slow, capital-intensive correspondent chains.

Regulated and Compliant Stablecoin such as USDC (Circle) solves the part SWIFT never could: instant, on-chain settlement.

Stablecoin Settlement revamping Trade and Tokenization

Stablecoin such as USDC is a digital token pegged to the US Dollar, still the most widely used currency for trade, enabling the movement of funds instantly 24*7 globally - transparently, instantly, and without the need for any intermediaries and the need to lock in trillions of dollars of idle cash.

Tokenized settlement replaces multi-day reconciliation with on-chain finality, reducing:

  • Dependency on intermediaries
  • Operational friction
  • Trillions locked in idle liquidity

For corporates trapped in long working capital cycles, this is transformative.

Digital dollars like USDC make the process simple:

Fiat → Stablecoin → On-Chain Transfer → Fiat

This hybrid model is already widely used across remittances, payouts, and treasury flows.

But one critical piece of global commerce is still lagging:

👉 Trade finance.

The Missing link is still Trade Finance Infrastructure.

While payments innovation has raced ahead, trade finance infrastructure hasn’t kept up. Document flows, letters of credit, and supply-chain financing remain siloed, paper-heavy, and operationally outdated.

This is exactly where the next breakthrough will happen - and why the recent XDC Network acquisition of Contour is a silent revolution.

It transforms to a new era of trade-driven liquidity through an end-to-end digital trade from shipping docs to payment confirmation – one infrastructure that powers all.

The breakthrough won’t come from payments alone — it will come from connecting trade finance to real-time settlement rails.

The XDC + Contour Shift: A Silent Revolution

  • Contour already connects global banks and corporates through digital LCs and digitized trade workflows.
  • XDC Blockchain brings a settlement layer built for speed, tokenization, and institutional-grade interoperability and ISO 20022 messaging compatibility

Contour’s digital letter of credit workflows will be integrated with XDC’s blockchain network to streamline trade documentation and settlement.

Together, they form the first end-to-end digital trade finance network linking:

Documentation → Validation → Settlement all under a single infrastructure.

XDC Ventures (XVC.TECH) is launching a Stable-Coin Lab to work with financial institutions on regulated stablecoin pilots for trade to deepen institutional trade-finance integration through launch of pilots with banks and corporates for regulated stable-coin issuance and settlement.

The Bottom Line

Payments alone won’t transform Global Trade Finance — Trade finance + Tokenized Settlement will.

This is the shift happening underway XDC Network's acquisition of Contour is the quiet catalyst.
