It is by far the dominant price control site in the cryptosphere, with Alexa making it the 44th most popular site in the United States. For all its potential, the excessive dependence on a centralized data repository has its drawbacks and goes against the same principles of decentralized ecosystem. The following cryptographic comparison sites provide valid alternatives to CMC.

Yesterday, the encrypted markets immersed themselves, with their movement partially attributed to Coinmarketcap changing the way in which it calculates the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies. This revision "wiped out" $ 120 billion from the CMC's evaluation of the cryptography market, prompting some vendors to think that markets were in a greater decline than they actually were. The incident illustrates the disadvantages of depending on a single data source.

There is also the possibility of comparing the movement of two assets one next to the other. The Bitcoin domain is displayed comfortably in the header and you can also look up the Vladimir Club cost of a coin – how much it costs to buy 1% of the 1% of its total supply. This week, Onchainfx also added a check box in the right margin called "Price if the normalized BTC power supply", which is the equivalent of the price of Bitcoin.
Coincodex
Coincodex It's modeled closely on CMC, but has a cleaner interface and some nice visualizations. For example, you can filter results based on cryptocurrency performance over 24 hours to a year and the site also has some usefulness cryptocurrency guides for beginners.

There are also data on timetables and portfolios, including lists of wealth and the distribution of wealth. Bitinfo also describes how active the Github repository of each currency, giving an idea of which projects are still under development and which have been seeded.
