Facts about Crypto.com exchange

The company was founded in 2016 and initially, it was registered in Hong Kong under another name. It was known as Monaco. It was renamed to Crypto.com in 2018 after the company had purchased the relevant domain. Today, it is one of the most well-known centralized cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.

The platform is available to traders and investors in 90 countries.

Crypto.com has offices in 40+ locations across different regions, including Europe, Australia, Asia, and North America. At the current moment, its team unites 4000 employees. Investors can also use a Crypto.com app to access all the services.

And as of September 2022, Crypto.com is included in the top 15 largest crypto exchanges, according to Coingecko. The exchange offers its users access to 227 coins and 393 trading pairs (tokens paired to USD, USDT, BTC and Cronos – CRO).

Listing on Crypto.com

All new tokens that are planning to get listed on Crypto.com can do it by listing on a fundraising platform operated by the exchange. It is dubbed “The Syndicate”. The platform doesn’t take any fees for listing. Vice versa, it allows token projects to raise funds and build a strong community thanks to being introduced on the platform that already has a well-established reputation and a lot of users from many countries of the world.

The listing on The Syndicate can help to increase the utility of tokens as they can be spent via Crypto.com cards, provided as loan collaterals, and used on the Crypto.com Pay network.

Projects that will be chosen for listing on The Syndicate will have the possibility to allocate their tokens for sale with a discount of up to 50%. The proceeds from token sales will go directly to the projects.

Crypto.com’s score metrics

When choosing a venue for listing, it is crucial to check its reputation and general rank in comparison to other exchanges. A good choice is to check how CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and Nomics rate the exchange.

CoinGecko uses Trust Score, a rating algorithm evaluating the legitimacy of an exchange’s trading volume. Trust Score is calculated on a range of metrics such as liquidity, the scale of operations, cybersecurity score, and more. Crypto.com’s Trust Score is a max. 10. Only 10 out of more than 500 cryptocurrency platforms have a Trust Score of 10.

CoinMarketCap’s Exchange Score is based on the following factors:

• Web Traffic
• Average Liquidity & Volume
• the Confidence that the volume reported by an exchange is legitimate. Weights are assigned to the above-mentioned factors and a score from 0.0 to 10.0 is given to the Spot Exchange.

Crypto.com’s Exchange Score is 5.6.

Nomics’ metric is called Impact Score – and represents an exchange’s influence on the price of cryptocurrencies it trades. The score is a combination of web traffic, volume, and other factors.

Crypto.com’s Impact Score is 7.50.

The second Nomics metric, called Transparency Rating is B (good). Nomics explains the purpose of these scores as rating cryptocurrency exchanges by their willingness to provide auditable history.

CryptoCompare has established the notion of Top-Tier volume whereby investors can segment the market into higher and lower-risk volumes (A is the best and E is the worst grade).

Why do I need a market maker?

Managing a token startup is a real challenge. As a cryptocurrency project, you need to focus on building your products and services and leave liquidity to market makers.

A market maker will help you:

• deepen the liquidity on your token’s books and make them more stable – which helps mitigate the price fluctuations of your coin
• lower spreads between bids and asks so that the prices get fairer for investors; that reduces the cost of entering and exiting positions and encourages investors to trade your coin
