How to Use CoinMarketCap & CoinGecko for Research

Market aggregators help you evaluate coins, exchanges, and liquidity quickly. Learn the key metrics, where data can be misleading, and how to build actionable watchlists.

Key Metrics to Watch

• Market cap: Price × circulating supply; compare fully diluted value (FDV).
• Volume & liquidity: Real trading activity vs wash trading; DEX vs CEX volume share.
• Listings: Exchange quality, pairs, and spread.

Practical Workflow

1. Create a watchlist for narratives (AI, RWA, L2, DePIN).
2. Use alerts for price, volume spikes, and new exchange listings.
3. Cross-check with on-chain explorers and official docs.

Data Caveats

• Circulating supply estimates may lag; verify with explorers.
• Beware of thin liquidity inflating price and market cap.
