Following the last exchange ranking update on May 14, we have just implemented a new algorithm to replace the previous default ranking of exchanges by Web Traffic Factor.
This concludes our first phase of changes to the exchange ranking that amalgamates all existing metrics in an exhaustive manner. The previous default ranking of exchanges by Web Traffic Factor was only an intermediate step in the development of this comprehensive solution.

The new algorithm now takes into account exchanges’ spot market pair rankings and the respective spot market pair’s Confidence score — both recently rolled out on May 29.
- The market pair ranking is based on a combination of reported trading volume, liquidity and an estimation of an exchange’s user base (via the proprietary Web Traffic Factor).
- Each market pair is then scored by the Confidence indicator that reflects the level of confidence that CoinMarketCap has in the veracity of the reported volume of the market pair reported by the exchange.
I believe this new ranking of exchanges will provide our users with an accurate reflection of the trading venues, as they are scored on a triage of factors that provide a complete picture. Our machine learning algorithm will improve and adapt to volume, liquidity and traffic changes over time.
Carylyne Chan, interim CEO, CoinMarketCap
Our users can expect this new ranking to be the staple for the next few months. Our team plans to continue to improve this ranking in a second phase — in which we will be including more pertinent factors that our users and DATA partners have previously suggested.
