Why Freedx Isn’t Paying for a CoinMarketCap Listing (Yet)

At Freedx, we believe in building for the long term. Every decision we make starts with one question: does this create real value for our users? If it doesn’t, we don’t do it.

That philosophy shapes how we think about listings. A paid placement on CoinMarketCap may buy visibility, but it does not buy liquidity, trust, or adoption, because those things cannot be purchased. They have to be earned by delivering a better product, stronger incentives, and a community that grows because the experience speaks for itself.

The Listing Gatekeepers

CoinMarketCap has been owned by Binance since 2020, and that ownership creates a natural conflict of interest. A platform positioned as neutral market data is, in practice, tied to a competitor exchange, and pay-to-play listings and ranking biases remain one of the ways incumbents defend their position and make it harder for new entrants to break through.

However, we see this as an opportunity rather than a limitation. Instead of chasing optics, we choose to invest directly where it matters most. That means rewarding users through trading campaigns that put value back into their hands, partnering with credible voices who bring genuine adoption, and improving every detail of the trading experience so execution is seamless and liquidity feels natural.

CoinMarketCap will always be an important source of industry visibility, and Freedx will be there in time. But it will not happen because we paid for it, it will happen because our traction and results make it undeniable.

Freedx is not here to play a short-term optics game. We are here to build substance, to create sustainable liquidity and transparent incentives, and to deliver a trader-first exchange built on fundamentals rather than shortcuts. That is the foundation that endures, and that is what will win.

Strength in Size

Lastly, to close, we also see strength in being the underdog. It means we can move faster, listen more closely, and shape the exchange around the people who use it every day. At Freedx, you are not just another trader on a massive platform. You are the community we exist to serve.

Trade with Freedx and you will see the difference.
